The other night Lori and I went to the Iowa Cubs game against St. Louis courtesy of Tom Pohl and his wife Crissy. Tom works with I-Spot Access, a group setting up wireless access points around Des Moines, including one at Sec Taylor Stadium where the Cubs play.
What was really cool (besides the fun company, of course!) was that they have developed this real-time interactive game using the wireless access during the baseball game. You log on to their site and then predict actions that you think will happen during a given inning, such as how many strikeouts, errors, grand slams, etc. For those you guess right you get points, and for those you guess wrong you lose points.
It is an unfortunate fact that while I enjoy attending baseball games, I know very little about the game, especially terminology. So I started out guessing blind. And by the time the game was over, I was at over -100 points! ;P No World Series trip for me!
But it was still a cool enhancement to the game anyway! |
