I’m watching the 2003 All-Stars Scrabble Championship on ESPN on a television in New York… via Apple’s iChat AV! Fellow Scrabble player and MemeFirster Matthew has pointed his video camera at his TV and turned up the sound… It’s works like a charm.Actually, Survivor is the American Robinson. The Swedes invented reality television. I’ve offered to return the favor by beaming the Swedish Survivor, Robinson, at Matthew, but he’s respectfully declined the offer.

The road less traveled by.
Well, the Swedes kind of invented reality TV, insofar as they added a contest to the format. But it seems like a descendent of MTV’s Real World, or for that matter An American Family.
So my better half and I visited Kimthew a week ago, and rather at the last minute (probably a good few minutes after that) demanded a space to sleep and entertainment for the evening. Felt a bit guilty afterwards, as they both had glam NY plans that we stomped on. But now feeling a little less guilty, because if Matthew has the time and inclination to sit at home recording a scrabble match on TV for a friend, what we put him through was nothing.
