In which John and Hank return to the seashore, scene of their first reunion video, to prove that they are still massive nerds. Also, Hank is briefly shirtless....ladies.

Hello once again mortals and welcome to another grand image blog!

Quite inspiring! I think it speaks volumes of spring.

This is astonishingly accurate, well done my friend!…

Greetings friends and welcome to this… well… blog? Ha.

This is also where you…

Hello there my Nerds, Nerdians and NerdFighters! Today, I figured I'd talk/type about the whole North Carolina anti-gay nonsense that seems to have gripped the media - and the state apparently -. First of all, if you follow the Green brothers religiously, you'll have heard them talk about the issue a number of times. Hank make's grand point after grand point, and John does his Johnny thing. With that said, the bigots and cuifs from North…

In which Hank breaks up with Subway in favor of Jimmy John's (through a parody song) and then talks about advertising for a while. Because advertising is very interesting and a little bit disturbing.

Also, thanks to Phil for shouting us out. Welcome to the DeFranco nation.

Thanks the Michael Aranda for shooting and editing the music video:…

In which John discusses why facebook and other free products are free--and why they are so valuable.

Shirts and posters and beautiful things:…

I attended a high school in Cedar Rapids Iowa called John F. Kennedy High School. Right now, there are terrible things being put in to play at my Alma Matter. The principal, one Dr. W, is trying to take the Industrial Technology Education rooms, and turn them into a "strength training" facility for the athletic department. This facility is only described as "not including weight training equipment." Now, this school already has a weight room and a great number of athletic facilities,…

Because there is a bit of confusion about what IPOs are and, really, what the stock market is and how it works, I thought I'd take the IPO of Facebook as an opportunity to discuss it. In general, the "financial" part of our economy seems kind of crazy and embarrassing. Especially as, these days, a lot of what our economy does is just re-investing in our economy, seems…

In which John discusses marriage equality, what a traditional marriage actually is, and what role (if any) theological understandings of marriage play in the legal definition of marriage. Let's continue this conversation in comments, but in doing so, let's remember that nerdfighteria is about respect and generosity. Thanks.

My tumblr:…

It's happening again. The image above is not of a historical remake of Nazi Germany. It is Greece, 2012. Anti-bailout movements, financial ruin, austerity cuts, over 50% unemployment - an opportunity for neo-Nazism to rise up among the ruins of what was once…

Found yourself bored, wanting of something to do? Found yourself tired of the many'a lawl cat picture? Perhaps you're looking for a story you can add to, but at the same time, a story you can read and let others pitch in? Or even, are you simply looking a fun game created and held together by like minded people? Have you figured that you want to help break a bit of writers block, get your creative juices flowing? Wanted to ever join in an RPG game before? Well, I haz just the thing for you…

In which Hank discusses marriage equality, which isn't actually an issue of marriage equality, it's an issue of human equality, and the fact that we're still struggling with it is very disappointing.

Want to join the space navy? Fly and smash the evil squids of anger that live on Mars? Want to fly through the cyberspace and enjoy the view and it's vast and beautiful world? Okay, maybe I'm pushing the marking a bit. But anyway, if that caught your eye, continue reading!

I'm looking for some blogger's who…

"I am very cross with him. He never used to be the kind to release tigers on people."

This is magnificent! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Why do I feature terrifying things...…

It's Hanko de Mayo! We all know Hank loves the James Webb Space Telescope, so hopefully he'll like our gift. In addition to his gift, nerdfighteria is celebrating Hank's birthday by letting our elected officials know that Increasing Awesome through scientific exploration is important to us. You'll find the email I wrote my congressperson and senators below. You can copy it,…

In which Hank screams his way around the Anaheim Convention Center and then, eventually, all the way home.

So...lots of things in this video:

Locks of love: http://www.locksoflove.org/

Locks of love is a charity set up to help children who suffer from hair loss at their young age, if you didn't watch the video through. If you give a hair donation, that would be awesome. But if you feel instead, that you would rather simply donate money.…

In which John Green pretends to be Charlie McDonnell by answering the same questions Hank asked him, while signing a lease at his new office and getting the movie option for The Fault in Our Stars signed and notarized. Also, John tells a story about the astronaut who farted on the moon.

And yes, since apparently a lot of you did not know this, the movie rights to my…
