Wow, this is a lot more than

Wow, this is a lot more than 10 minutes, Bill. :) Thanks for the tour of your infamous basement! I really hope you do the segment you mentioned about fitness games, that sounds wonderful. The quality here seems good, too. I didn't have any problem hearing you. Everything was clear except for a few shots of stuff in dark corners, but that's to be expected.

As I've often stated, it's downright criminal that we don't live closer together. It boggles the mind to think of the collaborative projects we could do if we could meet up more often.

I'm not a public speaker either, but there is some crossover with writing in the professions (esp. when we discuss making professional presentations). I don't claim to be an expert, but if you want feedback, I can offer a few brief suggestions. One thing I'd avoid is dissing your effort or tech (i.e., "This camera is poor," etc.) Leave that for the audience to decide; heck, I wouldn't even have noticed or thought that at all. I see no reason to be negative or apologetic for anything; if they don't want to watch, they can just click it off. :)

It might also be fun to see you or your family members actually playing the games. I don't know if that's possible with the current setup, but it'd be fun to watch. I'm sure you guys must have a blast with all that gear. Would Christina be willing to help out, perhaps? She could demonstrate the technology while you talked about it.
