Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 50)

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos is a little rough. Ze Frank helps us with public speaking, but doesn't escape the evil cholesterol. Then we have a memorial video to a musician and YouTuber.

• First, Ze Frank talks about the public speaking and also the wearing of pants, which is crucial to the public speaking.
• Then, he has to face the evil cholesterol and the tomorrow monster that lives in our heads.
• Finally, we have a memorial to Nathan Wills. A very cool musician and YouTuber who's vlogs were always interesting because of his focus on mindfullness and being centred. 

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 49)

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos is a chance to stop and reflect on the things you want to hold onto and the things you want to let go. Also the things you're going to pack for your next con...

• First, Hank Green, talks about Esther Day and how the value we bring to the world isn't measured in what we create nearly so much as it is in who we're with.
• Second, Ze Frank talks about the Finishing Book and the things that we're ready to let go.
• Finally, Karen Kavett, talks about the things you should take to Leakycon...

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 48)

This volume of my favourite YouTube videos, we go back to our vlogbrother roots. Also, John sings in this one...

• First off, John addresses Hank's new found buffness and his plan for reciprocation, a treadmill desk.
• Then John (and John and John) play in the Carling Cup with the Swindon Town Swoodlillypoopers. There's no topic to this one, but you have to enjoy the nail-biter ending (if you're into imaginary games of football (as played with the feet)).
• Finally we see that Hank can't possibly be that buff. He's been tumbling down tumblr!

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 47)

In this volume of my favourite YouTube videos we get a little frisky, hurt our brains with physics and resolve our cliff hanger from the last volume.

• First in this volume. Ninja Porn. Didn't expect that did you? Also that seems like better music than most porn gets ... I'm just saying. (From SMPFilms)
• It also turns out that the Universe is Weird. As you might have noticed if you've ever spent any time listening to Hank Green.
• And finally: Did Nathalie rescue Jack? Did Jack learn his lesson? Is Batman AWESOME? Pomplamoose resolves your tension! At this Bat Time in this Bat Volume!

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 46)

In this very musical volume of my favourite YouTube videos we get some nostalgia, some laughs and some tension!

• Firstly, LeVar Burton and the crowd at w00tstock 4.0 sing the theme to reading rainbow. Included at no extra cost, squees from Mr. Wil Wheaton.
• Next, Husky and his friends sing his overlord song. I could maybe explain what's going on here, but really why would I ruin your fun.
• And finally we see a seminal moment in the life of Pomplamoose, while they mash up Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know and Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe. What will happen to Jack? What will Nathalie do with unlimited power over the creative direction of Pomplamoose? Will another meme from the sumer of 2012 be able to save our heroes? DON'T. PUSH. THAT. BUTTON.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 45)

Sometimes my favourite YouTube videos feel timeless, but this particular set feel very tied to the summer of 2012. They still seem interesting so here they are:

• First off Ze Frank pushes himself out to the edges:
• Next Ze handles business. All of these missions and projects are long since wrapped up, but still it's cool to see that point of action on so many cool things. Also Hank Green dreams strange dreams (just like the rest of us).
Finally Philip DeFranco set the world record for Ninja (again) and that was just cool.

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 42)

There's speculation that this volume of my favourite YouTube videos will hold the answer to life the universe and everything. I'm not saying that's true, but I'm not saying it's not.

• First off George Watsky would like you to know that "[He] Does Not Give a Fuck". 
• Next, Tessa Violet,  Meekakitty,  lipdubs several songs, including and most importantly "Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf" by Rob Cantor. Also, these always entertain me for no particularly good reason.
• Finally, Dan Le Sac and Scroobius Pip lay down some commandments.

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.

Blog: Favourite YouTube Videos (Volume 40)

Organizational Note: I'm reducing the number of videos per Favourite YouTube Videos post to three to reduce the strain on browsers (primarily chrome). I have also reduced the number of posts displayed on the main page from 5 to 4, which I hope will also help. Unfortunately, I'm not able to reduce the number of posts shown at a time using categories/tags or searches. 

It's the start of a new year and it's that time when people starting thinking about improvement. Fortunately my next three favourite YouTube videos all help with a little self improvement.

• First off, Hank has some productivity tips:
• Next, Ze Frank talks about what we leave out: 
• Finally Pomplamoose, will help you learn how to communicate through dance:
