The MoPR Blog

Despite how cool I must seem to everyone on the exterior, deep down I’m really just a nerd. I blame Dad. When I was 10, Dad came home with an Apple II (not Apple II+ or Apple IIe or Apple IIc… an Apple II; serial number smaller than 1000). That sort of set me on my present course.

So since I’m now a confessed nerd, I can safely share this story. I was with some folks from Talkster in Ottawa for the Voice 2.0 conference. After the conference we headed to downtown Ottawa to play tourist. We found a great little pub near Parliament Hill for dinner. Afterward, we went on a walk around Canada’s capitol.

As we were walking near the Canadian Parliament building, I remembered once being on website that had a link to the Parliament Hill webcam. I pulled out my trusty MoPR Blog Cam, the Cingular 8125, and used the browser to surf to the first website where I indeed found a link to the Parliament Hill webcam. Then I surfed to the webcam (shown live on left).

I picked a spot between two lamp posts where I might be able to see myself on the small image. Then I refreshed the website page and got a new image where I was visible as a tiny, fuzzy dot.

When you enlarge the image, as you clearly see below, I appear as a much larger, fuzzy dot (that’s me in the red circle).

The other three fuzzy dots near Centennial Flame (in the bottom middle of the picture) are James Wanless, Maria Puccio and Mark Gelman of Talkster.

We worked very hard to put our client Talkster into the important mobile and telecom blogs. We got a lot of good blog clips for them too. But are we setting the bar too high when their first traditional media clip was on television? Here is James Wanless, president of Talkster, on CTV describing the Talkster network capabilities from the Voice 2.0 Conference in Ottawa on October 16.

We must also extend our thanks to Laura Slater of High Road Communications, the PR firm representing the Voice 2.0 conference, for her help with this opportunity and CTV reporter Kate Eggins for her interest in Talkster’s ground breaking technology.

And yes, that’s John S making a cameo in the clip.
