Fame, redux

Nearly four months ago, a three-person TV crew came to my house and interviewed me for a show called Planet Education, broadcast on the Knowledge Network here in British Columbia.

The KNOW-TV Web site now lists my episode, which will be broadcast on Tuesday, October 30 at 3:00 p.m., and repeated Thursday, November 1 at both 2:00 and 6:00 p.m. My big moment amounts to this (emphasis added):

Oct. 30 3:00 p.m. - Meet Dr. Daneesh Pai of the University of British Columbia, who is researching ways to make computers "more personal"; find out about the unique work of engineers in training at B.C. Hydro; learn what a technical writer does; catch an inside glimpse of Vancouver's rapid transit project and the important role that the trades are playing in this high-tech project; spend some time with a young group of entrepreneurs who developed their own music-sharing software and launched a company called iNoise.

I feel like a celebrity already.
