I’m in this funny video with Ann Maddox, Emily Burkart, and Amanda Miller, made by the awesome Becca White and Katy Sullivan. If I remember correctly the champagne we were drinking was real. Woo!

Restart Me Up at American National University
My book is now in the library at American National University in Kentucky. It’s a required resource for IT students, as an example of how society reacts to technology. I am honored. They did a cool little display and everything. I am also really amused that I am on the Windows shelf. This is basically the best thing ever.
Idi0T Festival with The Devastator
Rare trip up to the SF Bay Area this weekend for Chris Hardwick’s Id10T Festival. I’ll be signing copies of Restart Me Up and manning the booth with The Devastator. We are in Exhibitor Village, Booth 605, next to Laser Tag, for your convenience. Bay Area friends, stop on by, watch a ton of comedy and music and look at some cool new books!
June 24-25 – 11am-midnight ( we will be there noon -8, both days)

New video: Complicit
I did the voiceover for this parody of the Scarlett Johannson SNL video. Written and directed by the very talented Cynthia Kao. Whitewashing sucks.
New Video – Math Brain!
Happy Pi Day! I’m in this rad 80s PSA about women and math by Cate Scott Campbell. If you have a brain, you have a Math Brain!
Update – we just got featured on Ms. Magazine, BUST.com and Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls!

New Video – What Really Happened With the Oscars (According to The Rock)
I’m a voice in this video The Rock made about the Oscars Best Picture madness. I’m no Meryl Streep, but I play her on the internet.
The Thicket
I’m in “The Thicket,” a serialized podcast drama by Owen Shiflett, Adam Lane, and Ryan Daniel Dobson. It’s weird, it’s funny, and it’s about zoos.
Update – my episode is up now! I’m Tammy Arlington, zoo animal buyer.

New commercial – Pepsi
I’m in this new spot for Pepsi in which I kick a copier. This fulfills a lifelong dream.

Second printing of my book
“Restart Me Up: The Un-Authorized, Un-Accurate Oral History of Windows 95” sold out its first printing. Holy crap! The second edition is now available and it makes a great holiday gift!
The best way to get a print copy right now is to order it from Devastator Press
Or you can get the ebook on Amazon
If you’ve already purchased the book on Amazon, why not leave a review? One sentence is great and helps other readers find the book.
Also, how sweet is this vintage Microsoft ad?
New video – Books on Taye
I’m in this very silly fake PSA video for AOL/Huffington Post.
Taye Diggs reads me a story!
