NPR Interview!

I see from comments that many of you heard it, but Andrea Seabrook interviewed me on NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday. We talked about Mighty Goods and online holiday shopping, and I tried not to swallow my tongue.

Since then, traffic on Mighty Goods has been going mad. I’m greatly relieved that I didn’t think too much about how many people listen to NPR, because in retrospect in makes me a little queasy. It wasn’t a live interview, so they cut out all of my “hrms” and “ehhhrrrms,” making me sound like an utterly reasonable human being. Ah, the magic of radio.

Go listen!

Still Sleepy

Yesterday I woke up obscenely early for an interview on the KFOG morning show. I love radio interviews, as DJs are the only people on the planet who are more uncomfortable with conversational lulls than me. Anyway, have a listen.

I just wrote an article about San Francisco parks for The Morning News series called “A Walk in the Park.” Please go read it.

The San Jose Mercury News recently interviewed me for “Stylish Musings” an article about bloggers who like stuff, and share their passion for stuff with the Internet. A hefty hunk of the article is about Mighty Goods, so go take a peek.

Leah Peah just posted a brief interview with me.

Just wrote a film review for Gerry, an independent flick that you’ll either love or hate. I’m in the former camp.

Also, I’ll be interviewed tomorrow morning on KFOG (97.7 FM if you’re in the Bay Area). I’m showing up at the station at 7 a.m., who knows when you’ll actually be able to hear me. I promise to sound more like Mickey Mouse than anyone expected.

WHICH OF THESE KIDS IS NOT LIKE THE OTHERS?

The charming young fellows over at The Morning News just posted a roundtable discussion of writing on the Web. They talked to me, Dean Allen of Textism,
Joshua Allen of Fireland,
Wil Forbis of Acid Logic
Michael Goldberg of Neumu.net,
Matt Haughey of MetaFilter and Whole Lotta Nothing, Joshua Robin of Newsday,
and The Web Today of…The Web Today. Go see.

Went backpacking this weekend, and cursed my lack of penis.

Me: Are you peeing again?

Him: Yep, and I don’t even need to.

Me: Damn you.

Him: I’m just doing it because the convenience overwhelms me.

Me: Bastard.
