Silverlight and the Olympics
NBC's coverage online of the Olympics using Silverlight was awesome. I know I am not the only guy in the world that started watching the women’s sand volleyball initially just for the bikini's. But after watching how good these athletes (especially, May/Walsh) actually are I was astounded. I really got in to it and it became my favorite event...even stopped noticing the bikini's (well...mostly). My most memorable moment of these games was sitting in a bar in San Francisco. The volleyball game with May/Walsh started...and the bar went silent...everyone was watching the game. Cheers, ohhhs and high fives were pervasive throughout the game. I chest bumped a guy I didn't even know. Amazing!
Anyway, enjoy the gold medal match (May/Walsh vs. China) and also appreciate what Silverlight can do for the coming IPTV world that is rapidly approaching.
