A few months ago I taped a segment with Leo Laporte for his show Lab with Leo. The show airs on various techy TV outlets in Canada, the US and Australia. Because of the delay from taping to airing and then encoding for the web, I hadn’t seen the segment until I found it last night on Google Video.
I’ve included it below, if you’re at all interested. The experience of doing the segment was excellent fun, and I’d recommend it to anyone. I even had makeup applied.
Lab with Leo Laporte Episode 135 — James Sherrett talks about the Personal Technologist:
