Ain't Technology Grand

(*) Whether it would necessarily be a less worthwhile use of bandwidth than simulblogging "American Idol" or any other pseudo-reality-TV show is an open question.
I technically could be liveblogging today's Postal Rate Commission hearings, but for several reasons that would be a Very Bad Idea (*). Still, it's technically possible. Three cheers for our wired (or, strictly speaking, wireless) government at work!

Liveblogging produces a major value to those of us who tiVo shows and then try to get around to watching them: the liveblogging of Studio 60 at Mannion's place is my best way of keeping up--and much more informative than Television without Pity.
I don't mean to cast aspersions at blogging about mass entertainment and hobbies, since there's plenty of that here. But I arbitrarily draw the line at reality shows! One might as well liveblog a soap opera, IMHO.
Not certain. If I saw, say, "Crystal Meth just performed a ska version of the Starland Vocal Band's 1976 (1975?) classic," it might make me rush to YouTube.
In fear and trepidation, perhaps, but think of liveblogging reality shows as a DEW line against the next William Hung.
