It was great seeing Baratunde Thurston again at Gnomedex 2007. I first met Baratunde last year at SXSW Interactive 2006 and he’s a funny comedian, author and vigilante pundit who recently relocated to New York and is now an official ComedyCentral.com comedian.

At the recent Yearly Kos Convention, Baradunde opened up for Howard Dean.
