I think you were just great.

The Bryant Park personalities seem to adopt this position that they use 
a lot of technology, but they'll act like a dufus if they actually 
discuss some technology.  They like to say blog a lot, but never with 
understanding about how internet tech works.  I think it makes it really 
difficult for BPP to talk to people that want to talk about how things 
work, they would rather be amazed by something than understand it.

It's disappointing, but I do listen to BPP in the afternoon if I'm 
working in the lab.  It was a pleasant surprise to hear you serendipitously.

 So how does Bach ever sound like clock.???!
 Then again, most Bach does have well defined rhythm, almost 
clock-like, sometimes..

bark are pretty much the same...)

I think you did great!

It's too bad you didn't have more time (ironically) to talk about other 
stuff.  I never heard these Bryant Park people before but they sound more 
like ipod techies more than, true, engineering techies-- it's all good 
though.

Here's a time-related observation. As Andy Warhol specified, this could 
be your 15 minutes of fame.

Does anyone on the list have an accurate way to measure fame minutes?

Good article, though.

Probably depends on his altitude.
