Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 44)

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos takes a look a two very important constants in the universe, mass, and love.
  • First ZeFrank and Hank Green talk about the discovery of the Higgs Boson (and also spiral hotdogs).
  • Next John Green talks about how John Green and John Green met and fell in love while playing for the Swindontown Swoodilypoopers. While this might seem confusing, just trust that John Green (one of them) knows how to tell a story.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 43)

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos is a grab bag of thinking.

  • The first video in this volume is "A Letter from God to Man" from Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. This is one of my favourites in its own right, but I also really like the  "Planet Telex" sample.
  • Next Hank Green talks about online video, why he created VidCon and he speaks a lot for me about why I'm making these posts.
  • Finally, Charlie McDonnell plays the Mario theme on his face. Oh and I guess talks about some stuff. That's kinda cool too.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 41)

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos lets us think a little bit about how math, and society works and how to solve the problems that face us.
  • I don't think there's much selling that needs to be done to tell you that a ViHart video is awesome, but I'll give it a try anyway! MATH! HISTORY! PYTHAGORAS! PROOF BY MURDER! BEANS! ... Did that work?
  • ZeFrank puts together some very good thoughts on how the culture of the Internet works and how much energy is required to act. Also, if I ever figure out how to bottle that post movie viewing energy I'll be well set for life.
  • And if you have some problems that need to be solved, John Green is the person to help you solve them.

The Books I Read - November 2024

November was a bit weird. The Hands of the Emperor is long, but excedingly good. I'm continuing to find Anna Lee Huber a very engagin...
