Did you know about the Slingbox?
I'd not heard of this before, but it may have come in handy for folks who evacuated during Hurricane Ike. The Slingbox is a device that allows you to watch your home television from your laptop or mobile phone. This could have been really useful to people who traveled to places like Austin, Dallas and San Antonio to flee the storm. Keeping up with information in your own area during such a time is vital.

Did you know that you can now use services like http://parkmytv.com to 'host' your slingbox so you get much better bandwidth, free reboots and eliminate annoying the person who may be watching TV at your home when you attempt to change channels remotely?
I do know that when some of my friends returned last night they said they wished they could have gotten better information/news about this area where they had evacuated to. I told them about the slingbox. it seems that it could serve a purpose.
