I’ve been invited to share technology tips and tricks on CNN.com Live every Thursday at 5:30pm Eastern. They’re going to lift my video feed and pump it directly into their production studio. I’ll be “embedded,” literally - a regular guest / host / content person on their Web network.

I wear many hats. I happen to be a fan of Peet’s coffee. I run my own Blog network at Lockergnome.com, helping people make money off of their knowledge. I am a Geek. And starting in about a week… I am going to be working with CNN.

Beginning this Thursday, March 6th, you’ll be able to log onto cnn.com at 5:30pm EST and see… me! What am I going to talk about? Technology, of course. This will be geared towards the “average” user, or non-power-user if you will. I am so excited about this, I can’t begin to explain. These three minutes per week are just HUGE in my mind.

This is a chance for us to share our knowledge. I think the first segment will be focused on Digital Cameras. I’ll pass along three major tips that every Digi Cam owner will need. I won’t go into deep tech issues, such as dual-booting. As I said, it will be general tech talk.

If you have ideas and suggestions for upcoming segments on CNN… please email me! I’d be happy to consider your suggestions. Also.. be sure to join us in the chat room. Even though the chat will not be embedded into CNN’s website, we’ll still all be there live, talking about the topic and sharing our thoughts. We’d love to have you join us!

Congrats Chris. I think your toughest challenge is going to be the three minute limit, sometimes you take forever to get to the point.

This is a huge break through! Congrats! Utilizing CNN.com’s resources and outreach will really help bring information to the everyman user. In the time alloted I think that you should have themed segments on a particular subject. Such as a Mac segment with everything tips/tricks and help for Macs. Then the same for PC’s. and so on. What you really need to do is maybe some simpler segments on simple tasks that many people may not be fluent in such as word processing and email. And other times you could do something more advanced like getting into a little programming and design. Interesting topics like that drew me in to your show and Im sure would pull in many other viewers on CNN and on live.pirillo.com.

. Quest for travel. FNC tonight: ElectionHQ special (9:00pm), Buckley (10:00pm). Video: Limbaugh on The Factor. Grousing about CNN. And MSNBC. And Fox. More words of love. Pirillo’sTech talk. Press favoritism? Sunday preview. Another FNC outrage! Heavy “moderation”: no comments approved for 38 41 44 47 49 62 64 hours! More Kasich talk. Dan Abrams’s crusade (note: he is
