Margaret Atwood & Drunk History!

Yesterday, I mentioned Atwood's innovative new book signing machine. Below is a link discussing the Longpen. This machine is different from the description I gave it in class. The e-signature technology I was thinking of has been developed by someone else; however, this is still pretty cool: 

Also, as I've expressed numerous times, I don't have a great grasp on the history of this time period. My favorite way to learn about our Founding Fathers. Drunk History!


There is a slew of these videos that include cameos from comedians like Jack Black, Michael Cera, Danny McBride, Zooey Deschanel, Will Ferrell, John C. Reily & others. If you like this video, there's lots of others that are just as entertaining =) So view them in your "copious free time" (as Neil likes to call it), and remember that these are hilarious, not accurate.

    One of my history grad student friends introduced me to Drunk History awhile back--the ones I've seen are hilarious! And very accurate, in my opinion. (Just as Moby Dick: The Musical! is an accurate rendition of Melville's book. Trust me.)

    I'm clearly using my copious free time to make comments on blog entries about Drunk History, so I'm not going to have time to actually go and watch another episode of it. Alas and alack! (Guess my free time isn't so copious after all...)
