I had the best intentions. Leo, my old buddy and cohost from On Computers 1990s era, is of course now a celeb (and a cause celebre) to folks who know tech. He's got a network of amazing shows.
I once again guested on This Week in Technology (TWiT) yesterday with two excellent folks (one of them an old colleague mine, too, the encyclopedic and ever-wise Patrick Norton of Revision 3.) But that was a lot of alpha broadcast personality for one room. You be the judge.
Check out www.twit.tv.298 to check out the show, not sure video is up yet but it's coming. It's the one about the hole in the boat on fire : )
A couple of regrets. An active subset of my BYTE contributors -- I call them teamBYTE -- showed up in force in the TWiT chat. They did so because I asked for their support. It was Easter Sunday and they showed up anyway. I wanted to mention them by name to demonstrate the level of quality editors and contributors BYTE is gathering. But I never was able to get 10 secs to give a shout out to them -- not in all the chaos. It killed me!
So you know, I chose our 61 teamBYTE members out of well over a thousand applicants. TeamBYTE is best and brightest. BYTE (www.byte.com) is launching in July. I guess I'll have to wait till next time to mention some of this great talent.
A special thank you to:
Thanks for rocking the chatroom and beating back the trolls. You know you've got it when you've got trolls!
Seriously, re BYTE. There is no success for a giant project like this without an aligned and psyched team. Teamwork is essential. Being able to move with agility as one team is going to be essential, too, once BYTE launches. But I tell you this. BYTE is going skyrocket because of the strength of teamBYTE.
For teamBYTE and me here at my ancient blog, thanks again to Leo and gang for a fabulous time. It was a great show, despite my disappointment on not getting to shout out teamBYTE members.
Are you a regular IGS reader? Let me know what you think of the show. I'm @ginasmith888 if you want to follow the progress or email me via my link on the BYTE homepage.

p.s. The book I wrote with Herta Von Stiegel -- The Mountain Within -- is coming out this fall (McGraw Hill). It's all about teamwork and other key lessons possible for successful launches and projects. It's based on her trek up Kilamanjaro.
I couldn't stop thinking about team strength while I watched these folks in the chat.
Many thanks to all of you! Go BYTE.
