Remix These Olympics. Please.

Okay, I've only caught snatches of the Olympics the past few days, but it seems that what has always been true continues to be true: the commentators the network has on hand are all freaking terrible.

Creative people of the world, thusly I implore: fix this. You have two options.

1) Get a bunch of creative, witty, knowledgeable people together to watch the Olympics and record the commentary. These days you can even do it remotely from different locations. Don't feel up to the task? Listen to the people they have on there now…your pet rabbit would be more compelling. Throw the audio together then toss it online as a podcast. When folks grab the Olympics from the TiVo to play later, they simply turn down the audio and listen to you instead.

2) Grab the video from your own TiVo and remix the audio in, then release it via BitTorrent to the rest of the world.

Please. Somebody. It's painful to watch. If not before this Olympics passes, you have two years before the next batch. Get on it.

Widge and his truest friend

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
