Heads up: Circus of the czars
By Wade Kwon
If “quarterlife” can make the jump from the Internet to NBC basic cable, surely the Birmingham city council can jump from basic cable to the Internet. Council meetings will now stream live Tuesdays, with past sessions archived on the city’s site. Hurry, councilors will start at 9 this morning. Also included, searchable minutes and agendas, along with electronic voting, because — and we kid you not — voice votes were too confusing.
[For those who love RSS feeds: agendas and minutes.]
The hilarity will still be carried tape-delayed on Bright House public access at 7 tonight. But if you have four-plus hours to kill at work, why not see how your tax dollars are being wisely spent on trolleys and domes and private smoking decks?

It would be nice if it were actually streaming right now – it looks like it will be starting next Tuesday instead…
…though it will still make for good viewing when it starts next week.

Don’t know what the problem was earlier, but it’s streaming live now.
