ArchivesI dunno, but I just found out that Mikey C. was on tee-vee!
in reply to a message by Pavlos
Well... sort of... :)
Remember that PBS documentary we were discussing about a month back? "The Sweetest Sound" -- about New York filmmaker Alan Berliner's quest to find out more about his name, and consequently about names and naming customs in general?
Well, last night Mike watched the tape of it that I'd sent him. Mike says that in the film there's a brief shot of his old web page where Alan Berliner is doing a 'net search on his name! Mike says, "It was a close-up of my definition of the name Alan (on a white background). Neato!"
Cool! Hey, Mike? I'm thinking of dropping Alan Berliner a line, and inviting him to make a "guest appearance" on BtN? What do you think? Oooo, Pavlos and I will have to be on our best behavior, if Alan agrees to visit. ;)

Ich bin ein Berliner
I'll make sure not to wear my "The-origin-of-the-name-Alan-is-not-known-for-certain" T-shirt :P

If Alan does drop by (I just sent him an e-mail), then Mike will have to revise that entry to read:
"Famous bearers include Alan Shepard, the first American in space and the fifth man to walk on the moon, Alan Turing, a British mathematician and computer scientist, and Alan Berliner, New York filmmaker and media artist."
