We had a lot of fun though, and I really appreciate Sang Ngo of bloggingheads.tv for showing me their excellent technology and enabling Rob and I to have a discussion. Below is a small segment of our discussion, this particular section relating to China.
I have no intention to make excuses for my inability to be as good as the folks you see on TV, all I'll suggest is preparation is important and it is harder than it looks. I went in thinking it was like giving a PPT brief and thought it looked easy. Lesson learned. It was an excellent learning experience though, and I hope to do it again in the future... particularly now that I understand what it is I'm getting myself into.
The full video, which is over an hour btw, can be found here and covers a range of topics from Obama to piracy to my impression of the Navy blogosphere in the context of VADM Harvey's comments on the USNI Blog. There are specific sections broken down as well, so you don't have to watch the whole thing. Keep in mind the conversation isn't really intended for this audience, rather a broader audience as these videos tend to end up on the New York Times website (so I'm told). I had trouble finding that technical friendly spot between a broader audience and this audience, something I need to work on. Like the poster says, now I can prove without a doubt why nobody listens to me.
Please feel free to be brutally honest in the comments, I really would appreciate the feedback regarding not only the technology, but my performance that demonstrates my remarkable need to practice using the English language. I'm a big boy and can handle criticism, and indeed I assure you no one is as harsh a critic of me as I am.
It was a lot of fun regardless. Big thanks to Rob and Sang for making it happen.
