Dear Diary
October 18  
  Using ESPN Gamecast on the Internet, I watched the Red Sox lose to the Yankees, and thereby get eliminated from the Major League Baseball playoffs. (I believe the Yankees have a terrific website, and no, I am not a Yankee fan -- nor am I a Yankee hater).

The great value of Gamecast for me is that I can do whatever I want to do online or on my computer, with extremely limited distraction, and not miss any of the action.  For example, on Monday evening, I was preparing a consulting report as I watched the game.  I certainly could have taken in the game by television or radio; these mediums, however, would have required more of my cognitive attention, attention that I wanted to devote to my consulting activity.  I did not feel that I missed any of the action by watching the game through Gamecast.

At the end of the game, I tried to find coverage of the winner's celebration.  This was somewhat limited.

Incidentally, I did find myself following one of the merchandise links from ESPN and shopping a bit.  It was very easy to do, though, I did not buy anything.
