About BTY
BathTubYoga is a blog. And a videoblog. Get it? Mark and Henry have just moved from London to New York City, where they are trying to live the dream as professional bloggers. BathTubYoga is their blog -- it's about social life on the Internet and the new technology that's become a part of our lives. Read what Mark and Henry have to say, every day, and then watch eps about them a few times a week.

A little bit about me: One year ago I was sitting in a posh office in downtown London, about to start my life in the business world. And then catastrophe struck: I downloaded an MP3 onto my computer at work. Harmless, don't you think? Two days later I found myself fired, fined, and jailed. Collateral damage of the digital age.
So here I am, living to New York City with my childhood friend Henry, making a go of it in the blogosphere. Enjoy the posts, and feel free to drop me a line!

A little bit about me: Hello, Internet! It's me, Henry Scott. You've probably heard of me. If not, here's a primer. I've been a stand-up comedian in London for the past few years, before I realized my true calling: blogging. I didn't like the comedy world much anyway. Too many agents. I hate agents. In November 2005 me and my best buddy Mark packed up for New York City, and here we are, proud parents of BathTubYoga. What else? I like Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng, and women love me.

[X] “The Beginning” Script
Henry and Mark look at the computer screen.
MARK
This is it. Are you ready?
HENRY
Of course I'm ready. Go on Mark, click the button.
MARK
We're about to launch our blog to the entire world, Henry. There's no turning back now.
HENRY
Who wants to turn back?
MARK
(about to click, but stops) Don't you think that the dead hobo was maybe a bad omen?
HENRY
Are you joking? Look Mark, life handed us a doozy of a problem and we cleaned up! If we can deal with something like that, then blogging will be a cinch.
MARK
I don't know. Maybe we made a mistake. I mean look at this place, it's a dump for gods sake, and our neighborhood, it's downright dangerous.
HENRY
Mark look, this is our big break. We're going to make millions and then we can live the rest of our lives like kings.
MARK
I hope you're right.
HENRY
Oh I am Mark. I am.
Mark clicks the button and BTY goes live.
