Commenter John Whitman visited me yesterday to help with some portion of the content and suggested that I needed to record this for posterity citing it as “historic”.
I don’t know about that, but it does show the David-Golaith nature of putting on a 24 hour TV show to challenge Al Gore. What I lose in Gore sized special effects budgets I make up for in clutter. 😉
Kenji is just off camera, sleeping, ready to give UCS member commentary.
Look for final schedule to be posted early tomorrow, blogging will be light or non-existent for the next 48 hours.
Anthony, I must join the others in calling for recording the broadcast.
This is going to be powerful stuff. The names on the list (unlike those of the BBC 😉 ) are something. This should be avalable to as many people as possible (YouTube).
Out of the loop for the past few weeks, now with a few days off, and looking forward to your TV show to counter the big hypocrite’s apocalypse mongering reverse Robin Hood money grabbing guilt fest.
Having said that, and reading your above post re the cost of a premium subscription, is it too late to do a whip around for the funds? I’ll gladly put a hundred ozzy dollars towards it, and surely there’s twenty or thirty other like minded people out there?
Give me a code word for it, like “SHAZBUT,” (or “WUWTTV,”) not to be confused with your surface stations project, and it’s on it’s way.
Whaddaya reckon, people, can we help the bloke out to make it ad free, or what? :-))

I can add $100.00 US to the WUWTTV Pot.
Then again, maybe those 100 Ozzie dollars will be more valuable for the next four years …….
Good luck Anthony. I’m sure it will be a success.
It being the wee small hours where Anthony is right now, I decided to donate anyway, and unfortunately couldn’t leave a code word, (bloody paypal :-(… but there you go mate, I’m going to the other thread to try to drum up some business… Had to do it in US dollars, too, so I won 56 cents in the transaction.. Win Win, I’d say :-))
Good luck tomorrow 🙂

Anthony,
If you do need special graphic effects or animations, there’s bound to be some people here who could help you out : http://www.blendernation.com/
Blender is open source and can do just about anything you can think of. There’s heaps of budding young artists wanting to be seen.
Best wishes for your debut Anthony. Unfortunately I won’t be able to look in as I’ll be travelling.
You mean make up for Gore effects with the truth and pursuit of the truth.
Best of luck A. Though with Gore’s bad luck his Gorothon will be eclipsed by your well executed list of facts.
Only 4 monitors? What a piker! You need at least another half dozen! 😉
In all honesty, you have a nice set up. How do you keep your wife from throwing her clutter into your computer room?
This is quite the challenge you’ve set for yourself Anthony, I wish you all the best.
Good luck Anthony. I will be watching. Today will be remembered for another event that might come up during the broadcast – California’s on-line carbon auction which starts just about now. This morning’s California Department of Water Resources News carries an article about the California cap and trade auction today, starting at 10 am Pacific Standard Time. The original estimate was $40 per ton of “carbon”. The link is
http://www.dailybulletin.com/ci_21988475/california-kicks-off-first-its-kind-cap-and
“A major piece of former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will kick into gear Wednesday when regulated businesses throughout the state will be required to cut their pollution, or pay the price.
“Under the state’s new cap and trade program – the first of its kind in the nation – at 10 a.m. Wednesday, businesses such as refineries and industrial facilities will for the first time either bid on carbon credits to allow them to pollute more, or sell credits for having polluted less, under the California Air Resources Board (CARB) first pollution allowance auction.”
[…]
“CARB estimates the regulation will add 10 cents per gallon to the price of gas for every $10 per ton that industry pays for allowances. The futures market has lately been pegging the price at around $12 a ton, which could result in a 12-cent per gallon increase.”
[…]
“Officials believe the re-election of President Barack Obama, who in his acceptance speech voiced support for battling climate change, will embolden states to follow California’s lead.
“”With the election, we expect states that had dropped their own climate efforts to take a new look at what they can do, and some of these ideas will be adapted or adopted elsewhere,” Mary Nichols, CARB’s chairman, said.”
from Holland with a basic cable provider (Ziggo) the reception is ok, with short breaks now and then, a page reload helps there (may also be my system: Ubuntu and the chromium browser)
overall a good show – had no time for all of it, but I’ll grab those recordings later on 🙂
great work Anthony
This is historic!
It is great.
Thanks Anthony a much appreciated work.
