News 12 Brooklyn
Local readers, take heed! I will be on News 12 Brooklyn at 1 PM today. In a similar story to the Daily News and Am New York pieces, super-nice reporter Brittany Oat came out and interviewed me in my home office about my writing on my phone during my commute, and then filmed me on the street and in the subway while thumb writing.
News 12 is channel 12 on Cablevision, and 156 on Time Warner (1+5+6=12). I’m not sure if anyone can see it outside of Brooklyn, but the piece will be on their website tonight, and I will link to it then as well.
Some other sites have picked up the story as well. You can join in on the snarky comments on The Gothamist, or see more on Switched.com, Deep In The Heart Of Brooklyn, and the Bridge and Tunnel Club. Good times.
Lastly, if you’re a fan and have written me an e-mail but not gotten a reply, it might take a few more days. My main computer is laid up in bed with a thermometer in its mouth after some hard partying out on the internets. I might have to resort to the dreaded “restore to factory settings”. Everything is backed up, but still, it is a pain in the ass and I will lose some software I don’t have the disks/codes to anymore.
Pete,
Congratulations! I figured that all of the sword fighting and late night noise coming from your room (next door) at UB would yield something of literary significance. Phil S (formerly at the end of the hall) alerted me to the article in the Daily News.
How many computers are you going to infect man???
Very nice article – and clear of international importance – because there’s a spanish article on you on this too: http://blogs.hoytecnologia.com/index.php/vidasenred/2009/04/24/escribe_una_novela_en_su_smartphone
Holy crap. Scott Sandberg and Phil S! (he was the insane Jet’s fan, right?). It’s some kind of UB reunion.
