yourself for the 21st century or die! Some would rather die than change."

01/10/2006 Entry: "Don't miss the significance of this"

The Washington Post is live streaming the Alito confirmation hearing. The stream is in embedded Flash and plays quite nicely. It's very matter-of-fact and done without fanfare and hype. Who needs TV? This is the same newspaper whose VJs have won national NPPA awards. There is now officially no difference -- online at least -- between TV stations (and networks) and newspapers.

There never was. It was just a matter of realization, technology/bandwidth, and implementation. A website is a website, not a newspaper or a television channel.
