Ask HN: Wireless Video Streaming to Justin.tv?

I'm trying to figure out the easiest option for setting up live video streaming from my buddy's bar to Justin.tv. I'd prefer to use a wireless camera because the location of the PC in the bar isn't a good spot for video recording.

Is anyone aware of any wireless cams that work well with Justin.tv please?

I searched quite a bit online. I came across this article, but it's elaborate and prone to failure:

Also thought about using WM Encoder to stream directly to a service like Fliqz: http://www.fliqz.com/

But I'd prefer to use Justin.tv for the social features, etc., not to mention the user base!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

For anyone who's interested, looks like I'll be combining a USB extender:

With a Logitech USB Quickcam:

I'll update again if/when I get it working!
