On Sunday I jump on a Jetstar flight bound for the the Sunshine Coast (Coolum in particular) for the ANZ Partner Conference 2004. Last year this event was on the Gold Coast. I am a speaker again this year.

I'm missing the game between the Lions and the Saints and I am not happy about that! Methinks it time to invest in a AM/FM radio. Lucky for me I will be able to watch online AND I also get DVD of the game from sportsdelivered.

I saw this headline - Seven loses Olympic fight - and was intrigued.

As I read the story, I couldnt believe that the Seven Network was trying to block online coverage of the Olympics. That's like Mr Burns wanting the block the sun.

When will TV networks realise that "online" is here to stay? People will still watch the crappy coverage on the telly even when they know the result.

BTW - this is the site they wanted to block FOXSPORTS.com.au's Olympics coverage
