All y’all Omar G fans, keep an ear out for the man himself on All Things Considered tomorrow on NPR, doing a segment on OS X Leopard.And don’t believe what he says; Om has superpowers of his own and doesn’t need mine.
Elsewhere, I interview The Daily Show‘s Rob Kutner about the strike.
I’ve (re-)discovered a few things over the course of the recent Days Of Rage. Some of them are great!
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a lonely girl in possession of a library card must be in want of a twin. The child who spends a lot of time in books also spends …
Dear Sars,
Welcome back! Dear cracking dry hands season, not so much. I’m here to ask you/the readers about a product I could swear I saw mentioned on the Vine ages ago, but I can’t find …
Nice interview, Sars. It was very interesting to a non-TV-watcher to get the feel for what’s going on a little more. (I know, sacrilege!) :)
The interview was good, but it seemed like Rob needed to warm up a bit – he seemed a little incoherent there in the beginning! I can imagine that all these writers feel similarly – there has got to be a pretty high level of frustration there.
And, related but not really – there was a blurb in the paper this morning (probably pulled from the wire) about Colbert raising $59,000 in one whole month. I thougth “Pshaw! We did that in like, a week! Amateur!”
I just checked out “All Things Considered” on npr.org, and Omar’s interview wasn’t on today. Any word on when it might make it to air?
It was originally supposed to be on last Friday, so I’m not sure what’s up exactly. The Kindle was pretty big tech news Monday and I wasn’t surprised it got bumped.
Hoping it’ll be on today, but I haven’t gotten any updates on an airdate.
And indeed it was broadcast on Tuesday. Just finished listening to it online. Good job with the interview, Omar, and with your own blog entry as well. I always get the feeling I’d probably respond to Michelle’s voice the same way.
Omar’s interview was on last night. He sounded very intelligent and knowledgeable. Except he didn’t let Michele that “panther” had already been used as an os code name when she asked him if that would be the next name.
I’m a telecom IT geek, and SAG is our sister union…maybe I’ll get to picket with Goran Visnjic. Purely in the interests of solidarity & all.
Hey, a girl can dream!
Thanks for the links, Sars. V. interesting stuff!
