The delightful Meredith Land at NBC Channel 5 asked me awhile back to contribute to something they’re calling “DFW 2010,” a series of reports on what North Texas will like like 10 years from now. My topic: who will be the movers and shakers. Presumably I was chosen to speak on the topic because I both move and shake (still haven’t watched the video from the company Christmas party). Also invited to participate in the segment was Brooke Hortenstine, the co-editrix of PaperCity. You can watch the video for yourself, but here’s my take: I could take Hortenstine in a street fight. (Also, the best part of my segment came not when I dispensed wisdom but when I pretended to do actual “office stuff” for what TV people call “B roll.)
Correction: Yes, I’m still having trouble with 2010. Apparently the future is already here. It’s really called “DFW 2020.” Normally this is where you say you regret the error. But I don’t.

The video froze as soon as the camera fixed on your bald spot.
Things I learned:
*2020 is NOT ten years away
*Jason Roberts could learn to fly, because “who knows what he’s capable of?”
It’s actually “DFW 2020″, but I’ll let it slide since it’s your first day back…
Was your B-Roll anything like this?

@B-Roll Guy: That was some seriously badass B-Roll.
@Eric Celeste: It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: no coffee for you tomorrow. Not until you close something.
I’d like to move and shake with those two women on the still shot.
