In the media: coverage about me and my blogging for VespaWay
Aug 9th, 2005 Posted in scooters | Comments OffAs I have mentioned earlier, I have been doing some interviews with various media about the blogging I am doing for VespaWay.com. I was most recently interviewed by the NY Times and the BBC. While the BBC story has already aired, I am still awaiting the times story to come out, which should include a photoshoot of me & my ET4, which is very exciting. Here is the media coverage summary so far:

Why You Should Never Ever Steal A Scooter From A Drag Queen
Aug 4th, 2005 Posted in scooters | Comments OffThis story about Nuclia Waste is a MUST read. Catch my post on Vespaway.com and read how the most famous scooter in Colorado was stolen from the most famous scooter rider in Colorado, and how she got it back. You go girl.

My 15 minutes of fame part 2
Aug 2nd, 2005 Posted in scooters | Comments OffOkay so the BBC interview went smashing today, it should be live on the BBC website shortly. You can find it at this link: http://bbc.co.uk/biz. Click the video link halfway down on the right. The new business report should be up by 5pm Eastern. ALSO, the NY Times just called me back to ask for a photo to go with the story, so my ET4 and me will be photographed tomorrow at 5:30 at my home.
*UPDATE* looks like the BBC Vespa story with me in it got bumped probably because of the Toronto plane crash. I am not sure when they will air the Vespa blogger fluff piece now, maybe tomorrow?
Regardless of how upset you are with the tax assessors, threatening them with anthrax is unlikely to reduce your bill

My 15 minutes of fame
Aug 2nd, 2005 Posted in scooters | Comments OffI was interviewed by the NY Times last week (on Friday) and today at 11am I will be interviewed by the BBC. I have done a few other smaller things but I have been most excited about these two. I will post about the BBC interview once I get back. The NY Times story is about blogs in general and companies such as Vespa creating blogs centered around their products such as Vespaway.com. I was also asked about Urbannerd.com and my new project urbanscoot.net.
