I finally got my video iPod set up to play all those videos I’ve downloaded over the last year so I actually watch them. This included a whole set of talks from TED which has become my number one must attend conference.
Last week I watched the Al Gore segment. Now I’d seen An Inconvinient Truth and while it was well done, it’s a powerpoint presentation. This session was less than 19 minutes (the TED length limit) and Al literally had me chuckling away to myself (I was on teh tube so any sort of noise or emotion are verboten).
For some strange reason I was in the USA just after the 2000 and 2004 elections and I lived through the week of televised obsession about hanging chads and the like. At the time Al came across really badly. Either he was cleverly hiding all this skill and emoting in order to loose the election deliberatly or he’s just become more confident – whatever this video is great. Do yourself a favour and watch it here

This is my first blog. While I’ve read about comment spam from others, I hadn’t realised quite how anoying it was. So far this blog has 4 comments: 1 I posted myself to test the comments and 3 from random spam types. Guess I need to do some work.
