Franklin Language Translator
Chris | Live Tech Support | Video Help | Add to iTunes http://live.pirillo.com/ – While in Frankfurt recently, we had an amazing time. The food was great, the people were friendly, and the city was beautiful. However, Ponzi and I neither one speak a lick of German. We managed to get around by using hand [...]
Frankfurt Travel: Video and Photos
We didn’t make it far beyond Frankfurt on this trip to Europe. To tell you the truth, I’m not all that disappointed (despite several people telling me that Bankfurt isn’t all that exciting). Then again, I’m really not much of a tourist – even when I do have the opportunity to see one place or [...]
Frankfurt Hotel Reviews
Informal though these may be, I thought it was important to share my thoughts not long after staying at two separate hotels in Frankfurt, Germany. First, the Frankfurt Westin (formerly the Arabella Sheraton): Our Bathtub had mold spot in it (Ponzi says it was rather large, but she’s a total mold freak). The shower was [...]
GM IAA Announcements
http://live.pirillo.com – here’s a front row seat to GM’s product announcements at IAA 2007 in Frankfurt, Germany. If you look real close, you can see a few industry superstars sitting in the audience (when I turn the camera away from the stage to point it at Ponzi for a moment). In essence, the environmental strategy [...]
How to Fit a Segway into a Car
http://live.pirillo.com – We live-streamed the unveiling of GM’s newest electric car concept fully at a substantially lower bitrate, but here’s the Segway segment from Ponzi’s perspective. Again, our position was not fully ideal – but at least we were able to capture the energy. NOTE: General Motors helped cover travel expenses for our trip to [...]
Hydrogen Car Information Interview
http://live.pirillo.com – Ponzi and I had a rare opportunity to learn more about hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles with one of the automobile industry’s leading minds, Dr. Lars Peter Thiesen. The GM HydroGen4 is the European version of the Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell. In fall 2007, the first of these fuel cell cars — a global fleet [...]
Bob Lutz, GM Blogger Roundtable
http://live.pirillo.com – You’ve likely already watched my live interview with Bob at http://youtube.com/watch?v=-ysnr-V2dRg (in which I was quite tongue-tied). This new recording was from an exclusive roundtable Q&A session with a few fellow bloggers. Bob begins with his reasons for starting a blog… NOTE: General Motors helped cover travel expenses for our trip to Germany. [...]
Germany Blogger/Youtube Meetup
http://live.pirillo.com – Ponzi and I are still in Frankfurt, and we’d love to meet our virtual friends in real life! I may need help with translating this all-call to German, BTW. :) NOTE: General Motors helped cover travel expenses for our trip to Germany. Without their direct support, this remote coverage would not have been [...]
Bob Lutz Interview
http://live.pirillo.com – Bob Lutz is an industry legend, and I was more than a little tongue-tied when given the opportunity to sit down with him for a few minutes at the unveiling of GM’s new electric concept car in Frankfurt, Germany. Can you believe he’s a blogger, too!? NOTE: General Motors helped cover travel expenses [...]
Saturn Astra Test Drive
http://live.pirillo.com – The audio / video quality is questionable, but we were doing something that nobody else has done before: streaming live from GM’s super private test track in Dudenhofen, Germany. My wife and I were invited to take a Saturn Astra out for a test drive. This car is not yet available in the [...]
Hot Women Drive Fast Cars
http://live.pirillo.com – My wife and I were invited to take a Saturn Astra out for a test drive. This car is not yet available in the United States – or, at least, not at the time of this live recording. The car handles very nicely, according to Ponzi. We took it around GM’s super private [...]
Infobahn on the Autobahn
http://live.pirillo.com – Ponzi and I were en route to Dudenhofen, Germany – where we test drove a TBR Saturn Astra on GM’s private test track. This is the German Autobahn – and we’re using a Vodafone 3G connection to connect with our audience live from it! I had issues with the chat app at first, [...]

Calling all Twitter followers! Calling all YouTube producers! Calling all bloggers! Calling all podcasters! Calling all videocasters! Calling all FaceBook fanatics! Ponzi and I are still in Frankfurt, Germany – and we’ve found a spot in our schedule in which to accommodate a Blogger Meetup. I guess it’s more than just for bloggers – if [...]
