Nerdist was started by Chris Hardwick and has grown to be a many headed beast.

Nerdist is a place where we nerds come together and share the nerdery that we find. It's also my home to various elements of the Nerdist Empire. You might recognize me from TV. You don't realize that's where you know me from, but it is. You think you went to college with me or I look like your cousin's friend, but that is not the case. At one time or another you stumbled upon me on your moving picture box in such cerebral gems as MTV's "Singled Out" and Noam Chomsky's "Shipmates." and so much more...
Did you get to post any of the pictures you took?
I have to say, you look really natural with a camera in you hand. You look almost professional.
I’m backing SailRacer; Where are the pictures you took. At 95% man I want to finished product. Especially if you took some action photos of the lady tennis players:D
So, obviously you left the studio with this camera but usually when you’re reviewing a product how long do they give you to play with it before you review it on air? Also, I’ve heard you say that you don’t get to keep the gadgets. If that’s the case, where do they end up after the segment?
oh man he was nom nom’ing the camera at the end
The pics are on a card that I’ll get on Tuesday, so I’ll post them then. 95% of the stuff goes back to the companies they came from. I’ve been allowed to keep a couple of things: the iHome iPod dock, a cell signal booster and that sweet soundbar from Samsung.
Sorry for the nom nom.
The Samsung soundbar? Is that the one you reviewed with Layla on Friday 8/8? that was pretty sweet. I don’t remember the rating on it though.
Sorry, I ment Friday 8/1.
Look, let’s just cut to the chase and start posting videos of you making out with gadgets. That was the best part of that video. The heavy breathing? Awesome.
If Olympus didn’t let you keep that one, they are pervs, because you clearly marked your territory.
Puts a whole new spin on “responsiveness.”
