Random (Belated #3): Moment of geek zen

[zrath]

Finishing with the catchupiness.
Here's Random for Sunday:





Your moment of geek zen.

"Star Trek: The Next Generation" streaming to a Motorola Q device, as photographed with a Motorola RAZR phone.

How did I do it?
It was all part of testing.
1) Slingbox connected to cable TV in manager's office.
2) Downloaded Slingbox client to Motorola Q.
3) Got access codes to Slingbox from Step 1.
4) Tuned Slingbox to Spike TV with Q and caught TNG in progress.
5) Took picture of Q's screen with RAZR when Geordi was in frame.
Voila!


If you travel a lot and watch TV, Slingboxes are darn handy lil' devices.
You can access your home cable/satellite TV and TIVO from anywhere in the world and watch your stuff.
All you need is a device with an Internet connection that can run the Slingbox client.
Laptops are probably best, but something as small as the Motorola Q works too.

We're truly living IN THE FUTURE!!!

A shame it wasn't an episode with Q in it, for the complete maximum geekiness factor... ;)

This wasn't planned at all.
I mean, here I was, testing the Slingbox client on the Q.
I tuned to Spike, and there was Geordi, technobabbling away.
And suddenly, it struck me how geeky this all was and I felt the need to document it.
Spontaneity!

I don't even watch TV that seriously when I'm in its physical presence... O.o
