Barely.<p>A friend of mine has been having success with a TV show "startup". I appeared on one episode to "teach" him how to weld (the backstory is true, I'm among other things a self-taught goober-weld hack). Looking back we could have done more with the episode, and I plan to come back to film some followup episodes with him.<p>Anyway, you can see my 15 minutes of fame here:
