Slingbox

If you aren't familiar with the Slingbox, let me describe the greatness of this technology. It allows us to watch TV in the US. My good friend, Jim Yarrish, has graciously agreed to hook it up to a TV at his home. With this box, we can control the TV over the internet like we were there. We also have access to his DVR (which doesn't exist in the Philippines) and record whatever we want since the time difference only lets us watch middle of the night live TV.

Of course, all I have used it for to this point is to watch Dallas Cowboy and Baylor football games. While I expect Baylor to continue to struggle, watching the Cowboys this year is sickening. I get up early Monday morning so I can watch the game before work. I avoid all internet and news so I don't know the score. And what I get to see in these games is not the team I was expecting. I hope Coach Cupcake gets them in gear.
