Dave Matthews Band Video of the Beacon Theater Concert

Dave Matthews Band provided a live feed of their concert at the Beacon Theater on hulu.com and on Fuse TV last Saturday. I only caught the end of the live concert, so I was happy to see that they provided a video of the concert on hulu as well. You can watch it below, or go to hulu to see the full sized video. It is an excellent show - great music, well performed, and fantastic audio and video quality.

Also, Fuse TV will be offering an encore presentation this Saturday at 7PM ET, followed by all four installments of the new DMB documentary - Dave Matthews Band: The Road to Big Whiskey.



Go to the hulu site to see more DMB videos.
Enjoy!

The French Open Begins Today

The best thing about the Memorial Day holiday for me these days is that it coincides with the start of the French Open. I love watching tennis on the clay surface, especially when the matches (mens) are five sets long. It is like the Belmont of tennis.

The television coverage of tennis on DirecTV is excellent. The Tennis Channel has five high definition channels with simultaneous live coverage of the action on all of the courts starting at 5am EDT every day.

IBM continues to run the official web site for the slams this year, and they have the widget below available for your web site. This is a sweet little widget. It includes live scores, news, and the order of play. You can grab it from the widget below.

Update: Nice how the widget changes to display content from the next slam event as soon as the current event is completed.

It’s Elementary - Or Is It

Sometimes being an IBMer is something to feel proud of, and the announcement of Watson, the new IBM system that will challenge humans in the game of Jeopardy, made me feel proud of my fellow IBMers at IBM Research. The implications of this kind of computer intelligence is honestly staggering. I hope that we are up to the challenge.

Obama’s Full Speech on His Economic Plan - Video

This is the most comprehensive speech that Obama has delivered to date describing our current economic status. He discusses at length how we got here, what his administration is doing about it, and what his medium and long term strategy for recovery and future, sustainable, economic growth includes. He speaks directly to all of the major concerns and criticisms that have been leveled at him, and his plan, with thoughtful, well-informed discussions regarding the alternative plans that have been proposed, and their related merits and risks. If you are sincerely interested in what the Obama administration is already doing, and is planning to do, to fix our economy, then take the time to listen to this speech. Perhaps you will feel as reassured as I did after hearing what Obama had to say.
