Wow, tough crowd!
Cool interview despite its flaws.
Keep in mind that LadyAda is not a video blogger or professional interviewer. She's an EE and business owner who probably has never done an interview like this before. I'm not sure any of us could do better.
con-f-use:
But some of us might have Masters Degrees in EE and know how a satellite dish or transmission line termination works. That, in deed, was a bit surprising. Maybe she was just playing uninformed, so that non-professional viewers would get some answers. The interview itself was fine and informative. Lady Ada tried to contribute something and make it a conversation instead of a monologue. That's exactly what I like about Dave's interviews. Naturally Limor and Horrowitz didn't exactly meet at eye level, but he has a few decades of top academic research on her and she has to manage a business. He interrupted her just as often.
Another thing, I'd like to read your opinion on: It was the first time I ever saw Horrowitz and heard him talking. You could see how much of an old school scientist he is, his knowledge just oozing out. However, call me a heretic, but for some reason I didn't like him personally. I can't put my finger on it, but I wouldn't want to work for him or take one of his classes. It just seems like he has a vicious side. Its like he tried to come across nice, when he really isn't.

Ok, I am sold. Where is a good place to order the book for someone in Western Australia.
I am thinking direct from
www.cambridge.org
or cheaper at
www.bookdepository.com.
Any preferences/suggestions.
Tandy:
I think some people confuse criticism of something with a personal attack.
Limor has done a lot to help promote the 'maker' scene and has created a successful business from nothing at the same time. She deserves the recognition that she gets for those achievements. However her video interviewing technique didn't work for me. It is not often that you get to hear from people like Horowitz so I would much prefer to hear what he had to say without the interruptions. I'm hoping she may see some of the feedback and take it as constructive advice for the next interview video she does rather than an attack on her.
