Elizabeth Prann is gorgeous!

I know she works a lot with Greta Van Susteren. About three or four months ago, when GretaLiveWire was experimenting with Stickam (http://www.stickam.com/), Greta and Elizabeth saw me via my web cam. That was cool! I said I thought Elizabeth was gorgeous! She blushed, then very graciously and politely said, “Thank you, George.” Right on the air!

So Janice, next time you talk to Elizabeth, please tell her that George from L.A. said, “Hi!”

It was fun to communicate with them via Stickam. They were in Washington, and I’m in Los Angeles. They were doing a live television show and able to using Stickam on their own computers. About four dozen other viewers also were communicating with them. The next step will be to transmit a person’s image via Stickam clearly to a live TV audience, as if the person had a TV camera in their own home.

By the way, Stickam is located in downtown Los Angeles, about 10 miles east of where I live.

That doesn’t surprise me. There are quite a few office buildings in downtown Los Angeles that are used entirely for Internet purposes. They house switching equipment on every floor. Most of these buildings are 50-75 years old. They look like older office buildings in Chicago, New York, Boston, Washington, and other major cities in the Midwest and the East. But the L.A. buildings are now the hub of Internet activity in the United States. In other words, almost anything you see on the Internet is transmitted via the switching equipment in these buildings. They generally have a small candy, cigarette, and magazine store on the first floor as you walk in on your way to the elevator banks.
