I applied. I already had a resume on file over yonder. Sounds like a fun thing to do. Need a change of pace.

While I'd certainly love to be part of the 10 team, directing and managing content is not my speciality.  I'm a visual arts major, and I'm slowly moving into video editing, so I'm not really what you have in mind.

However...I have a few suggestions about content.  Continue focusing on medical and environmental technology.  I also want to see some agrocultural technology on the show.  What could be better than Laura and Tina on a farm?!  The Dreamliner segment Tina covered was great, so transportation tech, including naval, is obviously a good subject.  Computers and gaming go without saying.

Should 10 require a visual artist/stylist and production assistant...I'm your man.  At least, Maxwell or myself anyway. Smiley

Now if only I lived in the States eh? I'm leading the drive to open up the somewhat staid reputation that Golf (and the Royal and Ancient) have. How am I doing this? Well I'm blogging the preparations for The Open 2007 at Carnoustie Golf Links.

This is a great job and whoever gets it is one lucky guy, but I'm afraid I'm based in Scotland, so I'll not be applying Sad

Gary

 

In relation to how many viewers come to Channel 9 ---- How come 10.net doesn't post the # of views for a video?

If you look to the right of videos down below a bit you'll see that we don't post the number of views for blog entries and forum threads.

In our upcoming release you'll see it a bit more in your face.  Wink

I think Eric meant to say that we "do" post the views, down to the right as mentioned Smiley
