multi tect/multi task politics

Last night I felt very much in the 21st century as I watched/listened to the Presidential debates. I was at work when they started so I streamed it on the web. Then I left the office and put my FM adapter on my Nano to listen on the radio, then in the car turned on NPR. Then I got to the gym. I put the nano adapter on the station the gym has for CNN* and listened to the debate while walking in and changing in the locker room. Then, on the treadmill I watched NBC (as CNN has that annoying lines on the screen). After it was over I went between listening to CNN & NBC whilst reading the closed captioning on the other channel. Then I listened to NPR's wrap-up on the way home. It was kinda cool to keep up with the whole thing through modern technology. =)

*at our gym they have 12 TVs in front of the treadmills & stair masters split between 3 different channels. They always have CNN and a sport channel and the third is, I guess, the "chick channel"; soaps in the afternoon, movies or network at night. The sound is sent out through the radio waves and you tune your radio to the channel that corresponds with the channel you want. All of little treadmillers with our various headphones spilling out of our ears.
