IM conversation with my brother regarding my appearance on Fox13 news flying a model aircraft and being interviewed at the same time:

(01:26:12 PM) matt-msn: I have a hard time talking while flying a squirrely little airplane like the one they asked me to hover for the camera. I hope I didn't come off like too much of a doofus.
(01:26:33 PM) The Mystic Programmer: That's ALWAYS the problem.
(01:26:34 PM) matt-msn: Imagine juggling with one hand while balancing a baseball bat in the other and having someone interview you.
(01:26:50 PM) The Mystic Programmer: One of the rules of game demos - you always have one person talking and someone else demo-ing.
(01:27:03 PM) The Mystic Programmer: Because you cannot play the game and sound like a non-idiot at the same time.
(01:27:05 PM) matt-msn: Heh, NOW you tell me!
(01:27:17 PM) The Mystic Programmer: Hey, I have my own interview of me doing that as proof.
(01:27:46 PM) matt-msn: Quote of the day!
(01:28:12 PM) The Mystic Programmer: I liked the discussion about the Christmas presents. "Uh.... I forgot..."
(01:29:10 PM) matt-msn: Archived for all time: my brother said I sounded like an idiot :)
(01:30:08 PM) The Mystic Programmer: Nah, but you did sound distracted.

Speaking as a guy who has trouble forming sentences while playing the piano, I have to agree.
