A few more minutes of fame...

If we weren't actually inventing new stuff at work all the time, I'd worry my fifteen minutes had run out long ago...


Robert Scoble visited Almaden Research Center yesterday, and while they were setting up to use our lab as a setting for an interview with the lab Director Mark Dean, he ran around with his small camera doing impromptu interviews with those of us there.

So here you go, live on the Internet in atrocious resolution:



I manage to neither look nor sound like a complete idiot, so I'm not complaining.

That was really impressive...well, your part was.
The interviewer...well, not so impressive. : )

The first time I played this, I thought you said it was a "Dim Sum Deposition System".

Neat!

Very fun! That lab has grown a bit since you showed me an earlier version of that machine.

I'd like to say that you look fine, but actually, you look pixelated all to hell. There are some serious video-compression artifacts going on there. But I can tell that it's you, and I can almost tell that you're cute. *g*

Your explanation sounds pretty damn good. Very clear, very accessible and understandable for people (like me) who have no clue what you do. (Thanks!)

Very nice!

You're always so animated and larger than life when I see you: I never really pictured your professionally geeky side before. Nice!! :)

You are even cooler than you were before! But that is because I think "geekery" is cool!

Nicely done!
