Cool, will have to check that out.

The show is live, but they re-run it like two times later in the night. The Schedule is on the site.

Nervous Brad?

Yes great job Brad. I think the kids desktop was good also. Plus the part where you should the lack of CPU useage.

Thanks, I had a really good time.

Actually, I was originally only scheduled for a tiny segment. But Leo (the host) got to see what Object Desktop could do before the show and liked it so much that he bumped it up to be the main event on the show (the lead segment which gets more air time than any other segment).

Great job, Brad!
Was funny to see you "live". hehehe! You aren't just a geek, you look like one too!
You seemed a bit shy or "stage frightened" during the first 30 seconds, but you quickly got into your element.

It was especially a kick to see you move, and hear you talk. It's so weird when you only know somebody's written text and seen a still picture or two.

I didn't feel particularly nervous. They just didn't tell me where I was supposed to look.

Do they put recordings on the web to view?

Maybe loving citizens with XP could set up boxes at home for Wincustomize to use. I have software and shirts and subscriptions, but i will always help a good cause. There are decent CEO's!

Not always... but you should request a tape from your segment's producer (who I believe was Sara).

It would be great if those not in the US could get to see that somehow. Anybody recorded it and able to put it online? Assuming that's legal.

Brad is on again write now, 3rd re-run I believe, it is 5am, I have recorded it, but don’t have it in any sort of digital form. beside I would not want to violate the DMCA. I just got up to get ready to drive to San Francisco, to go see a taping of The Screensavers. Unlike frogboy I am just going to sit in the audience. But it I am looking forward to it.

Thanks.

Mormegil: I actually mentioned to them that the guy who created a lot of the cool DesktopX objects I swhowed was going to be in the audience today. If you mention who you are to someone there they may remember.

Paul, I went to a link you dropped somewhere to show one of your art pieces (middle earth art). I know this is OT, but I am really blown away at your artistic ability. Your middle earth art is just astounding and really captures the feeling and atmosphere that I used to imagine while reading the books. You should have illustrated those books. Just amazing. Sorry...had to let you know

Steve Gibson over at GRC always has his appearances online for viewing, but I'm not sure if he captures them himself or gets them from TechTV (and ZDTV before them).
