Five Things About Me: A Game of Blog-Tag

Jeff Pulver started a game of Blog-Tag that encourages bloggers to share five things about themselves that relatively few people know, and then tagging five other bloggers to be "it."

Thanks for tagging me Andrew!

Five Things about Josh (in no particular order) that relatively few people know:

I am a huge fan of stand-up comedy. My mom and I have been collecting comedy albums on vinyl since I was 14 years old. Here's one of my favorites:

While in undergrad at the College of William and Mary, I studied Studio Art, Painting and Printmaking, and published a weekly comic strip called Lumps in my Oatmeal in the school newspaper that ran for 2 1/2 years. Here's a sample comic during the 2000 election cycle:

My Master's Project in Design and Technology at Parsons School of Design in NYC was confiscated by the NYPD while I was interviewing with Ron Reagan for MSNBC's Hardball in 2004. The whereabouts of the bicycle used in the project are currently unknown, and may or may not exist in a warehouse in Queens and/or in Brooklyn. My bicycle films (Here and Here) have been screened internationally, and may soon appear in a documentary made for the BBC titled Power To The People: An A-Z of Protest.

I have a 14 year old chihuahua named Mugsy, after Mugsy Bogues (the shortest NBA basketball player at 5'3"). Mugsy the chihuahua currently lives with my mom in Virginia.

I moved to California in Oct. 2005, and met the love of my life shortly after. First, as friends, we would hang out and talk about technology, video, and comedy. We took day trips away from our computers to explore San Francisco and the Bay Area. Finally, after a Vloggercon '06 planning meeting in April, I decided to ask Jen out on a date. We're now engaged to be married...and we still spend all of our time talking about technology, video, comedy -- which we hope to put to use in a new videoblog. Stay tuned for that. :-)
