A few weeks ago I had the honor of taking part in Nerd Nite, a monthly gathering of nerds whose motto is "Be There and Be Square". The topics change every month, and guest speakers discuss topics about which they are nerdy. For me, at least on this nite, it was the Martini. I would have posted this a few weeks ago but I realized that on this past Monday I was teaching a Tipsy Tech class on the same topic, so didn't want to spoil the surprise all Wiki-Leaks style by broadcasting this too early. I looked back over the footage, I could only find a few things that are sketchy/possibly untrue but nothing seemed egregiously so. If you find any boldfaced lies or historical untruths please bring it to my attention and I will post a correction. You will have to email me since this blog still has a broken Comments feature :(
