WBAL Weekend Edition! (or, my tv debut)

Very exciting weekend.  On Saturday morning, I woke up at an ungodly hour -- well, it was before 8:00 a.m. -- and drove in to Baltimore to be on the NBC-WBAL 11 morning show. A cool experience to be sure, though I'm not sure I'm processed it sufficiently to write about yet.  

For now though, I have to tell you at least one cool factoid, which is this: those cameras on the right and left aren't operated by cameramen.  They're, like, ROBOTS.  I think they're remote controlled from another room, but it's somewhat freaky to see these large cameras moving all around the set on their own during the broadcast.

Anyway, before I link to the interview, let me tell you something.  Watching yourself appear on tv is like hearing a recording of your own voice -- you know, where the sound of your voice makes your skin crawl a little bit and you're like "do I really sound like that!???" -- only TEN TIMES WORSE.  So, yeah, it's sort of painful for me to watch this, but WBAL anchor Kate Amara was awesome and I'm so glad they asked me on the show!
