So Then I Became A Talking Head
By Nick | October 25, 2009
I ended up on television twice last week. It was decidedly nifty, if a little hair-raising. I still can’t watch the clips themselves all the way through; I get shy about viewing myself, the same way I rarely read anything I’ve written after it’s been published.
When your primary duty as a tech writer is covering Microsoft, and Microsoft decides to launch its biggest product in years (that’d be Windows 7, for everyone who’s been hiding under a rock), your stock value as a guest commentator has a tendency to rise however incrementally.
The first taping came during the actual Microsoft launch party at a SoHo loft, when the Associated Press crew cornered me after CEO Steve Ballmer’s speech. The YouTube link is here. Yep, that’s my slightly freaked-out mug.
The second appearance was an hour-long one on Clayton Morris’s “Gadgets and Games,” on Fox News. That took place on Friday afternoon. The link to that one is here.
My actual eWeek article about the launch event can be found here.
