Leo Laporte and Twit.tv
I remember years ago watching Call for Help and Screensavers on an awesome network called Tech TV. Maybe some of you remember that network, or those shows, before Tech TV was bought out by G4, turning it into the atrocity it is today. Once the merger took place, two of the best shows were permanently gone from G4.
Leo Laporte, who hosted the shows would continue trying to keep his visions alive. He moved the show to Rogers Media in Canada in hopes of getting it revived for the States. Unfortunately that never happened, but Leo lives on as The Tech Guy for the San Francisco based AM station, KGO. I’ve watched and listened to Leo Laporte for the past six or seven years. He has taught me many things about technology and computers over that time.
Recently, Leo started broadcasting live video podcasts from his home in Petaluma on his new sites, Twit.tv and Twitlive.tv.
Lucky me then, that I got to meet him in person at nvision 08. I was checking out the mod tables and all the wicked cases when I ran into Colleen. Normally you don’t find too many women that are really into computers, but Colleen sure was. Here's me posinga as Leo with his name tag around my neck.
At first, I didn’t know Colleen worked for Leo. I was just interested in her rig and the story behind it. We were talking and she mentioned they were waiting for Leo Laporte to get there. I thought I heard wrong, but she assured me that he was coming to do a live video podcast. Unfortunately, I had to go take care of some other business and I told Colleen I would be back to meet Leo.
