People have often told me that what the Shangri-La Diet needs is endorsement from a celebrity. I agree. From the current (2007-01-15) issue of Star magazine, here is a step in that direction. Not quite an endorsement but close; and on the same page as two celebrities.
I am giving a talk tonight (Tuesday, January 9, 7:30 pm) at PARC (Palo Alto) about self-experimentation that is open to the public. Audio and PowerPoint will be posted.
Thanks for the presentation at BayCHI. Your delivery was well-paced and engaging. The content was inspiring. One quibble: your slides were old-school, mostly a summary of the spoken message, summarized in text. Instead, consider those as your private notes, and show only the visual aids like graphs, using the former slides as your private notes. (This philosophy can motivate one to find visual aids for key points, in an attempt to eliminate the summary text.)
Also, I’m confused by the Figure 2 graph in the “Surprises” paper that you also showed during the talk. After reviewing it many times, I think I understand it, but at first I thought that the intervention timing (when you saw faces) was running along the X axis. Also, the typography is hard to read because of pixelation (looks like a 4th generation photocopy).
Again, thanks for the talk, which was educational and motivating. I’m off to read your book (is another on sleep forthcoming? please?).

Wow. 175 lbs for a 6′ 1″ guy being too big? WTF? He looks tons better at 175. Reminds me why I never read celeb mags.
speaking of WTF, on last week’s Ugly Betty, Daniel and Betty are both looking at their paychecks. It’s Betty’s first paycheck.
Daniel: “What the . . . ?”
Betty: “F.I.C.A.?”
