I am a Twitter expert, says the local news

the most expertI have a rule which I have so far managed to keep, and that is to say yes to all major adventures. That lead me to Israel back in October, to Croatia two summers ago, and to the Torino Winter Olympics before that. It’s an excellent rule, but I haven’t been traveling much lately (read: broke). So when a friend put out a Facebook call for people who use Twitter to be interviewed at her news station, I thought, what the hey, it’s a kind of adventure. Here’s the video, where they show my personal twitter (!) instead of my work twitter:


They said they’d call 45 min in advance to walk over some questions, but they called 5 min before and said, get ready! The only question I got to ask was, how long will this be? Then they were like, it will be 2 minutes and you’re live in 30 seconds! I could only hear them on skype, not see anything. So I stared at my own computer. Super awkward. And I really wanted to go into the studio and see what it’s like, but she sent a follow up email saying I could come by for a tour. And also an email from the news directer saying I was ‘outstanding’. Woot.

I am an expert in many things, call me anytime. Some examples: cats, growing basil, drinking coffee, drinking fancy beers, bike commuting, making orchids flower after 2 years…
