Aug 17th 2008 More on the Great BBQ Debate

I told you last week about the great BBQ debate on Twitter… you’ve read the blog post, now see the movie!

Abby and I were interviewed and our edited clips made it into the weekly 30threads “threadcast”. It was a lot of fun to do this, but in the future, when I am asked for a recommended place to do an interview, I must try to get it done inside. My ADD and pretty cars passing by are NOT a good mix when in front of the camera.

Check out the video here.

And, for the record, I like “Talk 30 to me” much, much more than “threadcast” as a name for this feature on the 30threads website.

It is different people all the time, so I don’t know if I am inordinatly ‘on top of things’ (my friends are laughing at that possibility)  or if most people do not catch the news until it goes mainstream?
