Career
On October 14, 2005, during the Macworld 2005 Keynote presentation (which introduced the new iPod with Video) Steve Jobs showcased Tiki Bar television to the audience as an example of a "Video Podcast" (which, at that point in time, was a relatively new media format) as something that could be loaded on to the new video iPod using Apple"s proprietary iTunes software for no charge. The next day, Tiki Bar television moved to the #1 slot in the iTunes Podcast charts, and as such Tiki Bar television was one of the first user generated programs to gain worldwide popularity via the iTunes distribution model. Additionally, the still from Tiki Bar television (specifically, Kevin"s image) appeared on the front webpage of Apple.com, and was composited inside of a Video iPod).
Foreign approximately one month, Kevin"s image remained on the Apple homepage next to pictures of iPods featuring U2"s Bono, American Broadcasting Company"s Lost and a picture of an audio book of Harry Potter.
Kevin"s press mentions & appearances include Wired Magazine, The National Post, Tilzy, Epic-Fu and Tubefilter.
