Veronica Belmont announced that she is joining Patrick Norton on Tekzilla. See "Ok, you were right! I’m joining Tekzilla!"
Reports say this first aired on Dec. 13, 2001
Tonight was the largest TWiT panel in (recent) history, with no less than seven participants chiming in. A couple of TWiT panels recorded live on location have been larger, but this one was recorded, as usual, via Skype. The cast included Leo Laporte, John C. Dvorak, Patrick Norton, Wil Harris, Cali Lewis, Don Reisinger and Robert Scoble. Listen in at http://twit.tv/123 on Monday.
Tech columnists Bill Dubie and Dave Sciuto, formerly of The Computer Report radio show in Boston, write:
"We miss the good ol’ days of the TechTV cable channel. Since G4TV has absorbed our favorite network, it’s been sullied by fanboys and oh-so-hip under-30 personalities. Give us the down-and-dirty telepresence of tech veterans Leo LaPorte, “Cranky Geek” John C. Dvorak, Kevin Rose and Patrick Norton. Heck, we’d even take Martin Sargent."
Of course, on the video front, they can all be seen online now in various forms. "The Lab with Leo Laporte" posts guest segments to Google Video, John C. Dvorak has Cranky Geeks, and Kevin is on Diggnation. And if you'd even settle for Martin Sargent, check out "Web Drifter." Also, Patrick is on Tekzilla.
When talking about the Asus Eee, reports M2blogde,
"Patrick Norton zum Beispiel, verpasste dem Gerät in der letzten Folge von “This Week In Tech”, auch TWIT genannt, einen relativ herben Veriass. Der Bildschirm sei zu klein, die Tastatur sei selbst für Personen mit kleinen Händen unbrauchbar, das Dateimanagement umständlich und das hinzufügen von Software ist fricklig. Ausserdem sei die Oberfläche sehr langsam. Pikant: Die eingebaute Webcam funktioniert wohl nicht unter Linux."
Patrick Norton will be launching the Tekzilla show this Friday on Revision3. Wired talks about it.
Here's a recent promo for TWiT by Patrick Norton. Ironic that someone so knowledgable about video was taped with such an old camera with bad lighting -- sorry.
Martin Sargent (revision3.com/infected) says Patrick Norton is his "anti-drug."
