I am a Canadian, so it may seem strange that I have a soft spot in my
heart for the television show CBS Sunday Morning. Goes way back to its
prior host, and I guess it has something to do with its unique blend of
content (arts, science, people, geography, etc.) as well as its NOT
rushed way of presenting material. Wish we had a show as good here in
Canada that would focus on items of more specific interest to us
northerners.
Anyway, it was particularly wonderful to tune in this morning and find
none other than our Macintosh-friend David Pogue hosting his own
segment of the show. Granted it was not targeted specifically at
anything Macintosh, but I have to admit that there seemed to be a lot
of Macs being used in the software company upon which his piece was
focused. It told the tale of a silicon valley company which is making
serious inroads into the realm of call support centres which actually
ask the caller to speak their needs rather than "touch 1 for this,
touch 2 for that".
What was particularly attractive to me, though, was that the piece was
pure Pogue ... it gave you all the technical information intended but
did so in an amusing story-telling kind of way which ultimately made
fun David himself rather than shooting arrows at the audience or anyone
else.
I missed the very beginning of the segment, so I don't know if we can
expect to see more of David on the program. I'll certainly be hunting
around for some way to provide feedback to CBS hoping to see more of
him on these quiet Fall Sunday mornings.
