Up the Down Staircase/In Thru Out Door |
She looks more than a bit shrill, shilling for the President on CNN last night, over the BreitbartTV release of Vetting, part I (of ___
n.?)
. . . but in 1997-1998 she was a cute and perky hostess of a wacky show on new cable network
ZDTV (later
TechTV; later than that:
G4).
|
Youthful Indiscretion |
The show was called
The Site, and was conceived to be a little bit like the TV equivalent of then-popular
Yahoo! Internet Life magazine. Our Soledad led the microscopic but hyped-up audience through a travelogue of sorts: a tour and review of neat websites.

Lordy, How We've Grown |
It was my good fortune to work with the ZDTV-ers to launch and distribute the channel. In the early days we spent a lot of time working and hanging out in the cool studio in San Francisco. The internet was hot,
The Site was new, and Up and Down the Spiral Staircase we ran, like giddy schoolkids.
Soledad and I were introduced and she won me over with her friendly smile, and funny name.
We didn't know each other well, nor for long, but I still perk up when I see her and I imagine she would make a worthy sparring partner.
The CNN implosion over the Breitbart "Vetting" video is striking - because she's usually a very good feature reporter.
Oh well!
