The Disillusionment of Philo Farnsworth is a great video compiled and narrated by my friend Jackson West; in it, he discusses what the inventor of the TV — San Francisco resident Philo Farnsworth — has in common with today’s vloggers. There’s also quite a bit of Farnsworth as a fictionalized character in one of my favorite books, Carter Beats the Devil. Jackson’s video is embedded after the jump.
