IMGP5586.JPGWhich one didn’t we get an interview from?

If you answered Mark Zuckerberg, you are right, but I got a photo with all of them. The other three will be in our show tonight / tomorrow. So, our show for CNN has been going quite well. Loic had about two minutes of air time the first night, four the second and five or six last night. Today, he’s going to be live at 6PM our Swiss time (9AM west coast?), and again at 11:30PM our time. All of our stuff can be found on CNN Internationale.

IMGP5582.JPGYesterday’s video they particularly liked; it aired six times around the world. All of the footage from there is mine, and the edit is as well.

OK, we didn’t get an interview with Bill Gates, but we did get invited into the press conference where he spoke about farming in Africa. The grant they had accepted and are backing seemed interesting.

IMGP5577.JPGLastly, Gavin Newsom loved seeing some locals at Davos. I actually got a chance to talk to him briefly and shake his hand. He’s much less well known at the forum than these other people, but I probably appreciated seeing him more than any of the others (especially Mark Zuckerberg, who needs three more years of college social experience).

IMGP5593.JPGLast night I went to bed at 4AM, and got up at 7:45. I just got a 45 minute nap today, but now I’m going to go get my DNA mapped (I HOPE!). That would be amazing! Scary, but amazing. Then, we have the 6PM CNN spot (watch that) and, afterwards, I’ll be finishing CNN’s cut for tonight’s 11:30PM show. After that, Loic is going to try to get me into the Google party to which he has been invited. Finally, I’ll be editing today’s show for Loic.tv and editing long bits of other footage we have from yesterday and today.

WOW. I’m off.
