The Charity and Vacation.

Hello Nerdfighters,

I just wanted to mention quickly that I will be on vacation until the 23rd (I'll be at the Philly Folk Fest and then Virginia) and to keep commenting on my other blog posts about the charity!

Speaking of the charity...

1. I don't think I made this clear enough in my last blog post about the name of the charity. I was trying to avoid vlogbrother/nerdfighter references so that the charity would: a) be appealing to non-nerdfighters, and b) look and sound professional. I reall… Continue

NERDFIGHTER CHARITY? NO WAY? YES WAY!

Hello Nerdfighters.

Remember in a previous blog post I wanted to set up a charity fund to decrease world suck? Good news! I’m in the process of becoming an Amazon Associate!

But before I fill out the necessary documents I wanted to talk some things over with everyone.

1. What should we name the fund? Think of something clever.

2. After we decide on a name, does someone want to make a logo?

3. Do you think it’s acceptable to take a small part of the funds to go to book give-aways and other n… Continue

And the winner is... PLUS some questions answered and some things explained, also a couple thank yous

THIS BLOG COMES IN FIVE PARTS

Part I: Major contest design flaw.
I found a very large flaw in my plan to give away a free book. Thankfully no one else did. I said that I would give a copy of Everything Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor to a random commenter on my last blog. I didn't even think to limit the amount of times you could comment which could have completely swayed the odds of winning. Thankfully everyone only commented once. I'm learning.

Part II: THE WINNER
Any… Continue

MONTHLY UPDATE: Everybook mentioned in a vlogbrothers video. PLUS A BOOK GIVE AWAY? AND DECREASING WORLD SUCK?

About two weeks ago I published a list of every single book mentioned in a vlogbrothers video. It took me over 20 hours to do but was well worth the effort. John and Hank and even Katherine (no Yeti sightings yet) have cited over 150 books since January 1st 2007. Every month from now on I will write a quick overview of the books brought up... if any...

You see, although the vlogbrothers mention a ton of literature in their videos, a book is only posted on the list once. For instance, John has m… Continue

THE FINISHED LIST OF EVERYBOOK MENTIONED IN A VLOGBROTHERS VIDEO

Yeah so I didn't think I was going to finish this tonight, but I did. YAY.

It was a daunting task but something that I felt like had to be done. So I spent about 20 hours or so watching every single vlogbrothers video and compiled a list of every single book mentioned.

I have cataloged the books in a spreadsheet which is now available in a google document. (If there was a sidebar to put links in I'd say "Link in the side bar" but there isn't" The link is at the bottom of this post.

The spread… Continue

I have dyslexia as well, wouldn't it be easier if you told your teachers? I've never been to school, so I wouldn't know, but I would assume it would be easier. Wouldn't it? then they could make special accommodations, right?
