NBCOlympics.com has been doing an incredible job providing streaming videos in their rich Silverlight player – with Picture In Picture dual streams and all. I have been watching quite a few video streams and the quality is exceptional at full screen size. Nicely done. Want Live video – here you go - http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/index.html If you have a Vista Media Center capable PC then it gets even nicer. Using the Video To Go app, you can schedule your favorite programs for background downloads which means when you get back later in the evening you will have HD quality video to watch instantly. I just hope there was a web based implementation of remote scheduling where I can use a different PC to schedule my recordings, but hey I guess this works for most. Hey, in case you haven’t seen, the US MSN Homepage also has a compact and neat little Silverlight gadget here – http://www.msn.com.

Halo3 launched amidst great fanfare and excitement tonight (the night of September 24th) at the Bellevue BestBuy store. There was an unending line of people waiting to get their hands on the "Best.

Its got to be the coolest launch for any game. Ever. A big shout-out to their families as well for allowing them allow the Halo Nation to "Finish the fight". We owe our gratitude to you all. Here are some pictures taken with some ...

Sleepless in Seattle

Repeat. -- we have got to feed the baby ontime, even at night and that makes it a sleepless night. The first week has been sleepless nights and endless enjoyment and happiness. Its going to be Punya Vachanam tomorrow (the 11th day) and then Nick gets In. - Chandra http://www.chiv.us
