Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 118)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, it's time to feel the music.

• First, it takes fourteen instances of Mr. Smooth McGroove to cover "The One Who Bares Fangs at God" from Xenogears.
• Next in the further vein of video game music to make the hair stand up on your (well, my) arms, Caitlin and Vaughan cover Time's Scar from Chrono Cross
• Finally, Slamacow produced a video to Laura Shigihara's "From the Ground Up" which tells a beautiful story about love, life and rebirth.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 98)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we creep and crawl, travel far away and have an idea about what we know.

• First, Kiri Callaghan gets curious about why we're freaked out by spiders. I have to say, I think my fear of spiders has a lot to do with how alien they are, as opposed to the spideryness. (Maybe.) Anyway if you are scared of spiders I think this video isn't going to bother you too much and may give you something to think about.
• Next CalebElijah playe Dazil, City of Burning Sands from Xenogears. Given the music in this game I think I may need to track it down and play it some time.
• Finally, on Idea Channel, Mike Rugnetta asks if Google is Knowledge. I have to say that primarily I think that Google is information that we synthesize in to knowlege. Furthermore I think accepting that Google is knowledge requires further consideration of how much you trust your knowledge.
