The End of Anonymity

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.

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

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

Hmm, so am I. That’s weird, it was working yesterday…
I’ma try to sort that out.

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