The End of Anonymity

with 6 comments

As I promised last week, I’ve managed to find a copy of the SBS World News report in which I appeared, that mentions and demonstrates the mobile phone dictionary - thanks to Jeremy who recorded it - and so I’ve put it up here.

Just bear in mind that I had no idea that I was going to be interviewed, which is why I’m unshaven and wearing - ahem - a Transformers T-shirt (Decepticons, no less).

I suppose this destroys for good any semblance of internet anonymity that I had feigned.

<UPDATE>
As Michael noticed, I think the large video file was causing some strife for the company that generously hosts this site, Affernet, so I’ve YouTubed it instead.

  1. A face to go with the name (and a handsome face, at that!). Nicely done!

  2. What sort of file is it? It’s not showing up in any of my browsers. I get the Quicktime ‘Q’ but no functionality.

  5. Yeah, except the way they cut it together, it looks like the words on the screen are Wagiman as opposed to Kaurna.
