Something tells me I might need to have quick access to some of these feeds from The Feed Room

I spent a lot of time looking at raw feeds (not live) there during the first couple of weeks of the war. There’s been a lot of breaking news in the last few days, and I don’t have good access to news at work unless I walk into the break room where the TV lives. On the other hand, I watched the fall of several statues in Baghdad “live” right here on this computer at work, and also watched a news guy deliver his nightly report over the live feed from the roof of the Baghdad Hotel one day (he kept asking his New York contact between takes “does my hair look all right?”). I got rather addicted to that particular webcam.

I don’t really want to get obsessed with war and terrorism news. Plenty of other people out there in Blogistan covering that beat. But I feel the need to be able to monitor it. Just in general. Just a gut feeling. Crap.
