“CN Tower” aka the Test The Nation segment

So earlier this afternoon, I was taped outside the CBC building here in Toronto, shooting the CN Tower. Afterwards they taped me posting the picture to my blog on a laptop. The segment is going to be used during the show Test The Nation, which will be airing live on the CBC on January 20th. The show puts various teams against each other at an ultimate trivia game, this episode’s theme being 21st Century.

I’m going to be participating on the show, as a part of the blogger team, which will consist of bloggers from across the nation. It should be an interesting show, hopefully, I’ll remember my history from the past seven years, which is basically how long I have been blogging for. My saving grace is that it’s multiple choice. Let’s hope that recognition kicks in.

In a twist of fate, we had trouble uploading the photos from my camera to the laptop, as I wasn’t carrying my CF cardreader with me. After 45 minutes of failed attempts, we loaded the following similiar image, shot by me, from my flickr account, into the blog for the segment. It was shot in front of the CBC building a couple of years back, prior to a radio interview I had in the building and it was also my inspiration for the impromptu segment shooting we were doing.

For those who like to notice inconsistencies, yes the photo shot during the segment was shot horizontally, while the one we used for the laptop segment, pictured about was vertical. Basically, for the 5 second segment, it served it’s purpose.
