How I spent my Wednesday...

Spent a good portion of the day reading the live blog of Roger Clemens testimony. (Link is ESPN's version. SI and several other outlets had their own coverage.) The interesting part of this whole circus--other than Congress has nothing better to do--is technology today can allow a reporter (or blogger--I'm sure there is debate about this somewhere too) to stream the news to their audience as it happens, rather than hastily crafting a story, proof reading it, editing it and sending it to publish (online or print.) The audience is instantly gratified and the 'journalist' doesn't worry about finding a story, or editing out the superfluous portions. Computers, wireless internet, and blogging have replaced CNN and the traveling reporter/camera crew.
