My 15 minutes of fame:

This is a page where I'll document things like if I happen to be on television, sites that link to mine, and stuff like that.

Television

Due to bandwidth limitations, file size limitations, copyright issues, and most importantly, because I'm lazy, I'm not going to include the actual videos of when I was on TV. But I'll include some screen caps.

Above, I am on 60 minutes (Australia) on a segment on "Thieves in Cyberspace". I am a good guy, not a thief in cyberspace. In this photo, I'm yping at my desk Basically, I had a bunch of customer-sensitive data up on my screen, which they weren't allowed to film, so I opened up a web browser and blanked my other screen, which at the time had a smiley-face devil drawn for the wallpaper.

Another angle of my typing at my desk. Exciting stuff in the world of network security!

This is a picture of me bowling in a commercial for the "WB-36 Pin Pals Invitational Bowling Tournament" in 2002. I didn't win anything, but I got some free stuff.

I'm a very stylish bowler. My shoes are circa 1978.

I believe I rolled a split on this shot. But I looked damn good doing in.

Other Television claims to fame:

My hand was used in a news spot (channel 11 action news, ATL) about the "Code Red" virus. I was scanning the bio-metric hand thingie, to get into my office, and the news guys thought that looked cool and filmed it. I don't think I have that news segment to capture frames from, though.
I was on some local talk show called "Falcons Face to Face", which talks about and with the Atlanta Falcons. A group of us went to ESPN zone for dinner, and we happened to get seated right in front of the stage, on which they filmed that week's little interview program. Screen caps someday, maybe, if I ever get around to it.
Most recently, I was on the Learning Channel, in a show called Hackers: Outlaws and Angels. I was apparently an Angel. They filmed some footage in my company of us reacting to Internet threats and stuff. Again, I'll get some screen caps eventually. Unless I don't.
