I missed President Bush’s “speech”:1 on Tuesday, but I really wanted to hear it when I got home later on Tuesday. I now see that they have a “video”:2 of the speech on the official Whitehouse.gov site, but on Tuesday evening, they hadn’t posted it yet.

I skipped the usual suspects for search (i.e., Google and Yahoo!), because they are pretty much useless for semi-realtime information. Unfortunately, Technorati was not working, so on a hunch I tried “Instapundit”:3 — one of the more popular political blogs. Indeed, Glenn Reynolds had this “link”:4 to the speech video. Right on!

While fixing dinner, I listened to the speech through my hella-cheap home theater system hooked up to my Dell Axim PDA. Not too bad… it only took me about five minutes to find, download and get the speech playing. You gotta love the web!
