I’m on BoingBoing!

Maggie Koerth-Baker posted a YouTube clip of me this morning. It’s an excerpt from my performance two weeks ago at Wonderfest, the Bay Area science festival.

The entire festival was videotaped by Fora.tv. You can see the rest of my 15-minute performance here.

Also, a dialogue I moderated entitled Do Robots Make Better Astronauts? (featuring Chris McKay of NASA Ames and Kanna Rajan of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute).

It’s odd to be judged just by these admittedly – purposely – corny bar jokes. They aren’t exactly representative of my entire act. They were the silly end to my presentation.

And they also cut the routine short – there are a few more, including the final bar joke which is arguably the best one…. about Helium.

Check out the rest of that performance or see my other YouTube clips: www.youtube.com/sciencecomedian . Subscribe!
