For your viewing pleasure, a TV clip and a PowerPoint show:
- April 6, 2005 PRIUS+ on KTVU (FOX) Mornings At 2 -- Bay Area's top AM TV show. Thanks to expert work by producer Stefanie Kelmar, anchor Ross McGowan, remote camera Sid, I feel I got to make every important point on this 4:16 clip -- though I was a bit too serious!
