I suppose for an author any face time is good face time, but I don't know that I'd publicize that I had anything to do with John Dvorak. I stopped reading him back in the DOS days because of his incessant cluelessness. Watching as much as I could bear of that video podcast made me think the only people who could make it through to the end are those that also like Bill O'Reilly. He's opinionated on topics he knows little about and interrupts way more than necessary. He either is a blowhard in actual fact, or he's acting like one with the hope of landing a slot on Fox News. I'm not sure which is worse, but either way, it was a dreadful viewing experience. I dunno, Scott.
