Why is bookofjoeTV like Zeno's Paradox?

Because I'm always getting closer to the goal but never quite seem to reach it.

The latest step was announced yesterday: YouTube Live Streaming, a two-day experiment that ends today.

Check it out.

Along with the iPhone 4's FaceTime, it's just one more tease.

The holy grail is when I can broadcast live from an iPhone in real time to YouTube or some other site that makes it seamless and literally foolproof for anyone to log on and tune in.

Real soon now.
