Ugh. "Select TV provider." Umm, my digital antenna and my Roku box, neither of which are listed ...
- Laura Norvig
Robert has been somewhere doing something ;-)
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Scoble, we will start and then bring you in....
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I'm waiting.
- Robert Scoble
I'm ready.
- Robert Scoble
that's competing "with" the Olympics, not "in" the Olympics, right?
- Laura Norvig
heh Laura
- Kevin Marks
darn too much glre on kevin and Dan
- Tina Chase Gillmor
meant glare
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Laura, they required same to see schedule, somehow they know you're paid up without credentials?
- Jerome Hughes
The revered Olympic sport of vodcasting ...
- Laura Norvig
SLC mayor said he would send a map
- Jerome Hughes
Jerome, to just view schedule there is an option for "antenna"
- Laura Norvig
for Romney to find his ass with both hands, jerome?
- Kevin Marks
right but that will only show what's broadcast ota, no?
- Jerome Hughes
oops
- Laura Norvig
Tina, did somebody trip over a plug ...?

Dang that NBC!
- Todd Hoff
Whahappened?
- Tom Guarriello
or did the fly do it? believe R knows about his backside, Kevin… maybe he's attempting to appeal to a base coalition here, add the British to the French for them to disdain
- Jerome Hughes
I'm back.
- Robert Scoble
The Queen and James Bond together. How cool is that
- Moe Glitz
Sounds like there are some bandwidth problems. My house got very strange bandwidth all of a sudden. Hope the coast survives. :-) Seems good after a reboot.
- Robert Scoble
I'm still waiting to be pulled back on the show...
- Robert Scoble
I can't find it live on UStream. is it on yet)
- Francine Hardaway
There's a live blog. NBC is offering a live blog of the ceremonies. http://todayinlondonblog.today...
- Michael Markman
Francine: it was, but sounds like there were some technical difficulties. I'm standing by waiting to be called back into the show.
- Robert Scoble
It will be back shortly (the stream).
- Robert Scoble
Certainly can't be that the live feed from the Opening Ceremony is sucking up all the bandwidth in the universe. BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIVE FEED.
- Michael Markman
Michael: they are rebooting the server.
- Robert Scoble
Here's a decent Olympics live stream I'm watching http://www.twitch.tv/sodamin...
- Mark Krynsky
Didja all notice that the Gillmor Gang video died the instant the name "Ballmer" was said by Scoble?
- Michael Markman
Very surprised Twitter isn't down
- Moe Glitz
Microsoft Insights: Windows 8 is a 'catastrophe,' says Valve founder and former Microsoft employee Gabe Newell - http://www.networkworld.com/communi...
- John Taschek
Excellent observation, Michael Markman! Clearly evil at work...
- Tom Guarriello
Here's the Newell interview: http://venturebeat.com/2012... Interesting comments too about "post-touch" technology.
- Alex de Soto
You're back on the air
- Tom Guarriello
Post-touch like Kinect would be cool
- Da
I absolutely love how easy it is for anyone to host a google hangout and broadcast it to a wider audience using OnAir.
- Laura Norvig
However, I'm starting to resent the whole thing of forcing us to tie our disparate Google products together. It makes me angry, the same way Facebook makes me angry.
- Laura Norvig
Sorry about the feed. It went down. my computer went down. geez confluence of bad
- Tina Chase Gillmor
+1 Scoble.
- Tom Guarriello
about the quality of comments, can be squawking in background
- Jerome Hughes
is that a gull in the background coming from Kevin, perhaps?
- Jerome Hughes
I don't think I have 10 comments on scores of G+ posts.
- Tom Guarriello
But I am a normal person with 20k followers and IIget a lot of engagement
- Francine Hardaway
I've got something like 7,000 followers on Google plus, but I don't use it much. When I do post, I usually get zero engagement.
- Laura Norvig
Mike Elgan is a great example of what Robert's talking about
- Tom Guarriello
I don't need my old friends; I have found new ones.
- Francine Hardaway
"normal" is supposed to me "average"
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Francine, I was amused by the Path ad where they mentioned, "Your best friend, your brother, your godparents. These are the people you want to share life’s moments with." I was thinking, no, actually, I share my life's moments with my Friendfeed friends.
- Laura Norvig
hah, quite
- Kevin Marks
my Path is full of random geek friends
- Kevin Marks
Exacty Laura. New interesting people
- Francine Hardaway
Heh, I got to work at Interval as a temp back in the day, so Paul Allen was successful at feeding me for a few years ...
- Laura Norvig
i can't watch Buildin43 on the Nexus7 either.
- Francine Hardaway
Am I on your path Kevin? I'll try to add you. You need a weirdo
- Francine Hardaway
I dont' actually use path
- Kevin Marks
I always forget to use Path. It's pretty, though.
- Laura Norvig
43 ok on my vzw nexus
- Da
High school students are going nuts about Path. Why? Their parents aren't on it.
- Robert Scoble
I used Path, liked how it looked but didn't use it much. Maybe I'll try again.
- Tom Guarriello
read my Kindle books on Mac & iPhone… no Kindle here
- Jerome Hughes
I noticed John T populated the shelf behind him. Looks more settled
- Tina Chase Gillmor
I turned on our "On the Air" sign today before the show. It's a big unreadable glow on video. too bad
- Tina Chase Gillmor
Tina - the shelf is full of Audio equipment boxes and a few books. And yes -- it is more settled!
- John Taschek
Path still around?
- Da
Path is growing and growing fast. Yes. I was over there today.
- Robert Scoble
John - nice! visually stimulating ;-)

Kansas City as the Kauffman Foundation and lots of entreprenership. Just not tech.
- Francine Hardaway
Unlimted vzw lte ftw
- Da
even when they give it away, you pay for the infrastructure install which can be upgraded, right?
- Jerome Hughes
like a $300 install
- Jerome Hughes
Kansas City has good BBQ and over on the MO side Lidia Bastianich has a pretty good restaurant: http://www.lidias-kc.com/ Good bandwidth. Good eats. Nothing wrong with that.
- Alex de Soto
a reason for folks to have both iOS and Android
- Jerome Hughes
Apple had to be smirking a bit when that ad attacked the dongles, knowing their plans
- Jerome Hughes
did Robert just show us a Kinect mounted to the ceiling?
- Tina Chase Gillmor
just tried to launch color on the Nexus phone. it didn't work
- Kevin Marks
Yes....mainstreamification of the quantified self is coming.
- Mark Krynsky
Tina: it's on top of my TV. It works great up high. The entire room is seen.
- Robert Scoble
Mark: you're absolutely right.
- Robert Scoble
The Nexus Q isn't great but I'm seeing many signs of Android about to take over the living room.
- Mark Krynsky
Ask again later.
- Jerome Hughes
supposedly he is going to sing Hey Jude at the end.
- Laura Norvig
Yes, at the end of the ceremonies. Brits are loving it on Twitter
- Tom Guarriello
Spice Girls in Closing Ceremonies.
