I've actually made a few appearances on TV for CNN's Techwatch to talk about new gadgets, games and cool technology in general. And thanks to the wonders of technology in general, I've got those appearances right here for you. Click the images to watch them!

Goals of Winning Eleven: Volume 1
(Click image for details)

Ah, my epic masterpiece (or not): A 45-minute DVD full of goals from Konami's amazing Winning Eleven series of games. Click the image for more...

Trends: Bluejacking
(QuickTime, 12.2MB)

This was actually a Trends segment, not Techwatch, and it's pegged to the HK Government's announcement that they want to set-up guidelines to stop the spread of three new Bluetooth trends: Bluejacking, Bluesnarfing, and Toothing.

Gadget Guy: Games
(QuickTime, 10.8MB)

This time we're looking at the best games of the first quarter of the year. We had a good mix on hand: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (GC), Winning Eleven 7 International (PS2), 007: Everything or Nothing (PS2) and the Famicom Mini retro-rereleases of Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong and Legend of Zelda (GBA).

Cyber Streets
(QuickTime, 9.5MB)

OK, so I'm not actually in this story... but I did do a lot of work on this one with Kristie, and it's just a very cool story to see. It's about the hyper-realistic recreations of Hong Kong streets in two new games: Project Gotham Racing 2 on Xbox and Gran Turismo 4 on PS2.

Share the Music
(Windows Media, 3.1MB)

This time around we're looking at one particular breed of gadget: Wireless Music Streaming devices. Basically, they take MP3s from your computer (where they're convenient to store) and wirelessly stream them to your stereo (where they're better to listen to). The Philips Streamium stereo, Slimdevices Squeezebox and Griffin iTrip are all featured.


Gadget Gift Guide: Mobile
(Windows Media, 2.7MB)

My original Gadget Guy appearance, filmed alongside the Music segment as a Christmas holiday gift guide. We're looking at Mobile gadgets here: Thomson Lyra Video Jukebox (think Video iPod), Sony DVD-R Handycam, Siemens Xelibri fashion phones and a Mulberry Leather Game Boy case.


Gadget Gift Guide: Music
(Windows Media, 3.1MB)

The second of my first two Gadget Guy appearances, featuring Music gadgets. In this segment, we've got the Bose QuietComfort2 headphones, Nokia 3300 phone, Creative MuVo2 Mp3 player and Royal MD-100 Media Destroyer (read: CD Shredder).
