Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 119)
In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we reverse engineer our own typesetter and answer real questions about real vlogbrothers.
- First, we have two videos from Computerphile looking at "The Great 202 Jailbreak". This is a good look at the spirit of inventiveness that makes computer science interesting and at how complex a thing that seems simple, like printing*, can be.
- Then to round out the volume Hank Green did Question Tuesday with his parents. Answering the most important question, how was John Green as a child.

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 117)
In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we get out our sciencing tools and get our feet wet.
- From Sixty Symbols we see what happens when physicists decide they want to do something interesting on a Friday afternoon. The science is interesting, and the visuals are awesome, though I have to confess to some jealousy since if I go outside on a Friday afternoon I'm probably goofing off.
