That definitely looks like me. And I'm in a hot tub with women, all of us in our underwear. The only thing missing is hair gel.
Thanks Foursquare for a great par-tay.
Foursquare, Hot Tub, NYC I was brought in to represent a comedic perspective, but I had to drop some facts in as well. I didn't get to counter all the misinformation, but got some points across and actually had fun. I learned back in Boston to be able to distinguish between Fox News Channel (on cable) and the local Fox affiliates. Anyway, enjoy.

It's an extraordinary story of an influential and prescient man named Josh Harris who was far ahead of his time when it came to how people will connect and represent themselves in a totally networked world.
He basically foretold the rise of services like YouTube and UStream and his story is one of both wonder and caution.

On Monday August 10th, I hosted a launch party for my new TV show, Popular Science's Future Of on the Science Channel (part of Discovery). I wanted to throw a massive public affair but was limited in space and time. We held the party at the lovely apartment of a generous friend. Words were said. Drinks were had. Television was watched.
Also in attendance were two flip cameras operated by my friend Rina Vazirani and Internet pioneer and video maven Bill Cammack. We have Bill to thank for integrating the footage and editing together this piece. I didn't have time to do the titling, but below the video, I'll give props to all who attended (or at least most). It was a great party for a cool new show, and I am humbled to have had so many luminaries, twitterati, facebookerati and just plain old good people honor me with their presence
You too can throw a Future Of watch party in your city. Just do it!
Guests In Attendance:
Now it costs 12 cent per penny to take it out of circulation (cause you can't deface currency)
So 400,000 pennies x 12 = $48,000
The restaurant is The Standard Grill at The Standard Hotel on The High Line
Oh hell no! You know what I did? I crossed the line... repeatedly.
We are going to make Turducken
