Vaguely meme-ish, but not really

A topic "10 Things I've Done You Probably Haven't" - or some such.

#1 Been a guest on Sky News this morning

Rentaquote boy here - or as I prefer to put it, writer, speaker and broadcaster - was on Sky Live News at 8:46 this morning to talk about the new Hitchhikers movie. Our esteemed Publicity Officer aeglefinus has, apparently, a video of this, so I may be able to send you a copy on request if you wish. They wanted someone to enthuse about the movie and Sky Movies had an exclusive on a new trailer - narrated by Steven Fry as a Guide entry on movie trailers. It was actually pretty good and looked a lot better than the one on the movie website. Alas, I didn't get time to plug the fan club or even to introduce myself as Prez, but hey, it was different and fun.

#2 (I guess) I've been on TV before

#3 ... And radio

I've done 3 Kilroy programs as a Skeptical talking head, and a couple of phone-in shows on BBC Southern Counties radio as a computer Agony Aunt. It's rather fun and I'd like to do more. If you saw it - or get the clip - do tell me what you think!

#4 ... And given a packed-out talk at the Windows Show at Olympia

"Choosing a network operating system", I think it was called. About 1996. Over-filled the theatre by quite a bit and overran by nearly half an hour, but I was the last speaker of the day. Terrifying but fun.

#5 ... And been the guest attraction on a live chat on MSN

Not quite so rock'n'roll, that. :¬)

Hey, this ego-plugging thing is a laugh, isn't it? [Grin]

( Lemme see, what else... )

We like this, and reckon HST would, too.

I am amazed & horrified how many mates have never heard of HST. What is the world coming to? And my chauffeuse this morning didn't know that the world's first private manned space launch happened last year. Mind, she was the sort of person to be stunned to hear of someone who never watches TV. [Sigh]

In other news, a utensil ideal for... Er. Various womenpeople I know but am too scared to name.
