Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 104)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, fight bugs and we look at how to come together, both online and offline.

• First, in a follow up to a video his about what to do with YouTube, Kevin Gisi, takes a more serious look at what the options are to replace YouTube. He may not have had what he needed in pocket, but I am glad (as I said last time) that Subbable and Patreon came to exist and while they haven't solved all of the problems I think it's better for creators and fans today than it was back then.
• Next, Adam Savage shows off his favourite video game and discovers that as soon as anyone films you playing a game your skill immediately drops off by about 90%.
• Finally, The City of Calgary, put together a video to thank all of the volunteers and the city that came out to help put peoples homes and the city back together after the flood here in 2013.  Not going to lie, I may have cried into my coffee cup rewatching this one.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 59)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we borrow a theme song, escape a labrynth using graphs and ride on a (no longer) new rail line.

• The first video in this set is Pomplamoose's theme song for "Hey It's Pomplamoose" (Their live streaming show). Also, they talk about a live stream that we can't go to without a time machine. Also also, I think Jack might be hard to live with, "How did you even get drums UP there?"
• Next, Numberphile and James Clewett unravel some Choose your Own Adventure books.
• Finally, The City of Calgary (my hometown) put up a video of the trip in to downtown on the new leg of the CTrain which opened late in 2012. I still haven't actually made the trip all the way out myself, but this video makes me happy.
