Re: "i.am.FIRST -- Science is Rock and Roll" airs August 14th

What I just watched (west coast) on TV is an absolute gift to FIRST. Thank you Will! Thank you for having the curiosity to google "Segway inventor" and thank you for calling Dean. And, naturally, thank you Dean for doing what you do!

Reading through the comments here, I'm surprised by some as this program proves that we are making a difference and changing the culture - one person at a time. I don't think there has ever been an entire hour (including the commercials) devoted to FIRST ever!

We must remember: if you're reading this comment right now you already "get it."

Being the geeks we are, I'd be interested in seeing the web traffic that FIRST generates before and after the program. That might give us a ever so small indication of impact this program just had.
