National TV debut...of sorts


Well, after folks at AOL (one of the companies I contract with) telling me that Ask.com was running national television ads featuring a quote from yours truly, I finally saw that spot on TV today while chewing through an episode of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. I tried to catch the ad during the recent U.S. Open, but alas, it was hard for me to watch tennis this year with so much else going on, so I missed it on prime-time.

The full-page New York Times ad that came out at the end of July featured my quote as well alongside Walt Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal, so it was kind of cool -- make that *very*, super-like cool -- to see my quote in a national television commercial. The link to the commercial I grabbed from my DVR is below in Windows Media format if you want to take a peek (3.9MB).
