Andres Colon of Thoughtware.tv just wrote to inform me that this blog was covered on Tele-Vision, specifically G4.TV’s Attack of the Show. I didn’t catch it, so use this thread as a place to post your information or reactions if you did.

First TV coverage ever! Yay!

Here it is:

Brief mention, but still. TeeVee! Can you spot the images from my blog integrated into the starting collage? Can you? My images are there! You see them!

I love how it plays the rock-y music as it zooms in on my boring-ass header. (I kinda like it that way, to scare away people just looking for entertainment.) “Intellectual” site — hm, that’s interesting. Aerogel is not a metal, lol. It’s practically the physical opposite of a metal — setting records for low density and its insulation ability. Maybe he meant material.

The coolest thing in the clip is the collage at the beginning where it shows the mecha I posted. Did anyone else just laugh at this? TV is so funny, the way the announcer enunciates things he says in that standard television manner, with all the pseudo-relevant stock footage running in the background, zooming in-and-out effects, blah blah blah. (I get zero channels on my television, its only purpose is for playing the occasional RPG or fighting game.)

No mention of transhumanism. :( Oh well, my long-running strategy of posting interesting futurist material to lure people to read about H+ has already worked well, anyway.
