One day of work to get this far.

I kind of like it the way it is, but I will sit on it for a minute, to see how it feels.

Maybe work on others for now.

Hi there

Yesterday I started reading the fault in our stars, so naturally I finished it today.

I never really wrote like a book review, except for Dutch class (a bit like English in the US, only in Dutch, if that makes sense :S}, so I am so sorry if it isn't like good or anything. Tips and advice are always welcome ;D.

DISCLAIMER: SPOILER ALERT!

I think this book is my favourite John Green book. I loved all he's other books, but this book was just SO AWESOME, when I…

Is it funny that the last book I read by John Green is the first book he wrote?  There are so many quotes everywhere ("everywhere" = tumblr) and although I was always careful to skip over those posts, I'm still amazed that I remained spoiler-less.  Amazed and gratified.

Because I've heard/seen several people say that Looking for Alaska has almost the same plot as Paper Towns, which as you know was my favourite JG book until The Fault In Our Stars.…

In which John makes a video for future John, future Hank, and future Katherine about what happened at the 2012 Tour de Nerdfighting and how it felt. Thanks to everyone who came out for the tour this year, to all the awesome independent bookstores and theaters that hosted us, and to the nice nerdfighter who held the camera.

So, I finished reading TFIOS about half an hour ago, and have been trying to figure out a way to express my akdjfaeifhadhfs without spoiling anything.  So here I go.

It's amazing.  Spectacular.  Nothing short of absolutely beautiful.

[sidenote: my j-scribble is green, when I opened the book for the first time I actually sat and stared at the signature for a few minutes, kind of in awe, I guess because John Green's hand actually wrote on this exact piece of…

Out of all of John Green’s books, for some unknown reason Paper Towns was the one I wanted to read the most. Unfortunately I couldn’t find it at any library near by. Then my made-of-awesome brother (TheGinge) gave it to me for Christmas! It surpassed whatever expectations I had for it (not sure what those were) and it is definitely my favourite John Green book so far. I was walking around the house singing “This is such a good book, oh my lordy this is such a good boooooooook”. I…

So I'm posting a blog. Today has been filled with new, Internet-related things. I've finally started a Ning, like I've been meaning to do for too long, started up a Twitter, and now here I am.

I've always wanted to do things like this. Blogging, vlogging, tweeting. The problem is that I never feel like what I have to say is significant. I watch the channels I'm subscribed to and I go, "WHY can't I formulate thoughts and stories like THAT?" (I'm looking at you, Frezned.) I mean, I'm…

Hey there nerdfighteria! I'm Professor NotOne, I make video blogs kind of similar to the vlogbrothers! I love watching their videos. 

My videos are very similar to the concept of Crash Course - I often teach about my classes at college! I have a feeling their videos will be a lot more professional than mine and better liked, but I'd love if some nerdfighters started watching and commenting and sharing! 

The videos can all be found by searching "professor notone"…

In which Hank sings a song about his favorite outfit. I wrote this after a debate with Tom Milsom. A debate which, to be clear, I was not the winner of. I actually think that fashion is a perfectly viable form of communication and that is absolutely an art.

SUPER GIANT SQUID OF ANGER!!!!

I recently just finished Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.  The book entails the world's new form of slavery created by the corporatocracy; the system by which the United States and its corporations have enslaved much of the third world. For those unfamiliar with the book, John Perkins details his experiences as an economic adviser (or economic hit man) for MAIN, a consulting company which had been continuously hired by the United States…
