I was sitting in my recliner marveling at how easy the Internet and computer technology have made it to project ourselves into the universe.

The next thing I knew I was turning on the previously unused camera and microphone built into my laptop computer and recording a video preview of my column in the Opinion section of today’s Advertiser, “Tongue in cheek — Legislature in review.”

It took only a few clicks on the software included with my computer to do some rudimentary editing of the project and upload it to YouTube, leaving an indelible record of my existence in the online universe.

You can view the result by clicking the “play” arrow in the screen below.

The effort proves mainly that I’ll never be a threat to Joe Moore or Andy Rooney; I have a face made for radio and a voice made for print.

If any of the joke writers who pen the bills for the Legislature or the Lingle administration care to film a video retort to my friendly barbs, I’d be delighted to link to their response.
