Intellectual Lint is a blog chronicling the trials and tribulations of the Amgen Tour of California webcasters.
The Tour of California website offers a live video feed, pictures and an RSS feed. You should be checking out the webcast; the whole operation has been getting a lot better the past few days.
What goes into putting together a daily webcast that spans action on more than a hundred miles of road? At various times, they've had to cope with no power, no Internet access, no host, etc.
At one point the blog author estimates streaming live video to 10,000 to 20,000 people in two hours. That's a lot of bandwidth being burned up on office computer networks during a workday.
