Broadcast High School Sports over the Internet

18 November 2003

I’m looking for ways to broadcast high school sporting events over the internet – iHigh.com – The High School Internet Network seems to have a hosted solution with reasonable academic pricing. We could also cobble together a solution from Shoutcast but we don’t have a server location, we’d have to go to a hosted Shoutcast service like VBDigital. I haven’t seen a lot of examples of schools doing broadcasts except at the ihigh site, still looking for best practices and ideas.

Personal Server

17 November 2003

[Phil Windley The Personal Server](http://www.windley.com/2003/11/14.html#a910 “Phil Windley The Personal Server”) – an intriguing idea. But do I really want to carry all my data around on my person in a somewhat fragile container that I could lose, misplace, etc? I guess if it is just a cache that might be ok but I think I want my source data someplace on the web, backed up, but always available to me. Tho I love the personal server idea too. Confusing.

Idiot people in Idiot Companies.

Nick Dentron from the NY Times“I don’t want to see some V.C.’s invest idiot money in idiot people at idiot companies.”

Crap. That was pretty much our strategy.

A view of Netscape

17 November 2003

Interesting view on recent tech history: If they wanted to be the next Microsoft, Netscape should have looked more closely at how Bill Gates did it – he kept his mouth shut until it was too late for IBM to respond. and Which brings me to what I think is the biggest myth about Netscape, which is that they were a great engineering company. They were a crappy engineering company.

Barfi Culture

[barfi Culture Profiles Member profile](http://www.barficulture.com/profiles/name.php/ludwig “barfi Culture Profiles Member profile”) – found this in my logs. I have no idea why my site is registered here. Maybe I have a secret admirer in the European South Asian community.

I'm on the Flip Murray bandwagon too

13 November 2003

Like Tim, I’m also on the Flip bandwagon. And starting to get excited about the Sonics – winning back to back on the road is hard. My expectations were low low low after the Collison and Ray Allen injuries, but the Sonics are getting great play from everyone else on the team, particularly Flip. As was mentioned on Sports Radio this am, the absence of Ray may be a blessing in disguise, as everyone else is having to step up and learn how to do more.
