Matt Lopez posts a bunch of pics to his Facebook from the PMT breakdance group’s performance last night, that I don’t think he’ll mind if I grab to post here. I wanted to mention the diversity of our little group, which I think is remarkable. From left-to-right: Eli (construction worker), Eugene (Wall St trader), Will…
PMT breakers brought it!
I just got home from celebrating with friends after my breakdance performance tonight at PMT Studios.

Daily Show skewers Congress and Second Life over virtual world hearing
Congrats to my friend Glitteractica Cookie / Susan Tenby of Techsoup.org for being called out on the "Daily Show with John Stewart" yesterday!
