If you weren't able to catch the CBC report on exploding laptops - where I managed to get the word "sexier" broadcast on Canada's national network - I think I may have some good news. I've been busy playing with YouTube in a rather convoluted attempt to get the resulting video content posted to the blog, and I think I sorta succeeded. Here it is:
Your turn: Were you able to view it from your end? What did you think?
One more thing: If this process works, I'll do the same thing with yesterday's CTV Canada AM interview after I get the original video file.
Hi Carmi, I was so excited to see you suddenly appear on CBC so I was glad to see you had it online as well.
ReplyDeleteI am getting a lot of people asking me if their laptops are safe now, and yet someone still didn't understand that when their system "melted" it wasn't because the laptop was defective, it's because you shouldn't put it on a pillow to work!

Carmi, nice interview! That was a really interesting story. My laptop is dead to the world, but if we replace it, it will be something to consider.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a great future as a "talking head" for technology. You have such poise, such presence. Great work. Thanks for sharing!
Hope your day is going well!
Ah, look at YOU! You did great. Of course, I couldn't hear a word you were saying because i'm at work and couldnt put on the sound in case the spys heard it..but you LOOKED great! lol..really
ReplyDeleteCarmi, thanks for putting this up where we could see it. I keep telling you that you are better looking than the photo you have on your blog (I am sure Morah Mommy agrees) - so won't you change it?
ReplyDeleteI don't have a lap top, so I don't really care about them heating up. Somebody sure needs to care, though!!
You did a great job!! Very poised and professional. This made me think of all the times you see someone on a tv show using a laptop-it is usually sitting on their bed....a big no-no!
ReplyDeleteack! thats so scary. have you seen the picture of the lets watching a dvd on a laptop outside on my site?? better talk with their baba i guess.
ReplyDeleteyou looked fabulous. shame we couldn't see your cords. i loved that you said 'sexier' good work. and i LOVED that you had a cheeky smile throughout ;)HAha.
excellent work.
That was much easier to hear than the whole broadcast the other night. I'll be checking our laptops closely.
ReplyDeleteWow, I know a famous person!
ReplyDeleteI still want a laptop.
Greetings from Michele's!
Hello. Michele sent me.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your tv appearance.
Sexy? Do you know who's sexy? YOU! That green shirt is you, you you you!
ReplyDeleteOh yah Michele sent me.
The video worked on my end. It's my favorite Canadian show since Degrassi!
ReplyDeleteAn instant classic. The words geek and sexier in the same interview.
ReplyDeleteObviously the youtube worked for me. I have issues with it working on my site and Rob is like the only one who gets screwed in not being able to see it. I think he's in California for a comic book convention, the nerd, otherwise I would have him take a look.
This time Michele sent me!
ReplyDeleteYour tv appearence is just as good the second time!
always the first to comment, eh?
ReplyDeleteSee, I don't have one......but if someone wants to correct that....I'm up for that! LOL
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me back.
Scary story. Great job on your piece.
ReplyDeleteHere via Michele.
Yes, looked pretty professional up there. Maybe you can become their regular technology reporter (or are you already?)
ReplyDeleteLookitchoo! Great job!
ReplyDeleteMy only complaint? Why didn't they put your name on the screen? Boooooo.
Wow. Awesome! I can put a voice to the name now. hahahah
ReplyDeleteCool interview!!!
I heart YouTube....
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with the Queen of Light and Joy, (what a title that is, by the way) If anything or anyone was sexy in that piece, it was YOU!
ReplyDeleteI know you are a married family man and all, but you were just too cute! ;-)
I got to see it perfectly. And not only did you use the word sexier, but you WERE sexier than anyone else in that interview, by far.
ReplyDeleteI think people should be warned about not using laptops in bed. Pretty much every blogger I know with a laptop posts in bed.
Great story!
Here from Miss Michele
Wow! Carmi in Colour:) The youTube film looked just fine. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteHere via Michele's
xx
Worked for me. Great job on the interview, by the way. I'm back tonight via Michele's and glad I had the reminder to catch up on my reading. This interview is one I want to pass on to the laptop using folks in my life.
ReplyDeletelol betcha your wife wishes you'd come back down to earth and get your head out of the clouds right about now, am I right or am I right? hehehehe I know I would be thinking that if it was my hubby lol
ReplyDeleteThis was great, Carmi!!! You did so well. Hope you will keep it up for those of us who can't see your broadcasts on television.
ReplyDeleteCool, I am glad i get to see it. my computer runs pretty hot (thanks to photoshop) but hopefully my battery will hold containment.
ReplyDeletelovely to see you in motion and action btw.
ReplyDeleteThat's a dell laptop...kaboom!
ReplyDeleteMy day job is 'in computers', too, so actually I remember very well seeing that 'exploding laptop' item on CBC Newsworld. I also recall seeing the 'guy from InfoTech', because I'm familiar with the London connection, but I didn't make the connection with the speaker's name shown on the screen.
ReplyDeleteHey, where was the ballcap!
PS. I know my 'voices', and you have a good one -- you ought to do a radio show next, Carmi.
