I was (indirectly) on the Colbert Report!

This is, quite possibly, the coolest, round-about compliment I have ever, ever received.

Mark Frauenfelder (whose name apparently means "fields of women" in German) appeared on the Colbert Report, talking about Make Magazine. I wrote for Make and my article on reading magstripe cards appeared in the first issue. From the episode:

Mark Frauenfelder: Things like an electric card reader, so you can swipe your credit card or driver's license and swipe them through and see on the computer all the information thats stored on them.

Stephen Colbert: So, so, so, so this is a magazine for people are like in real life, like Matthew Broderick from Wargames.
