I call upon the power of nerdfighteria. Green brothers hear my prayer. The channel of awesome called nurdrage is close to its end. If we do nothing it will die.

Nurdrage is a channel full of chemistry experiments and the power of science. Please everyone watch a few of his videos and donate to his indigogo if you are so inclined. It will be a tragedy if youtube loses nurdrage, we cannot…

I worry…

In which John discusses Part 1 of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, "The Hearth and the Salamander," including discussions of Guy Montag, Clarisse, the complicated relationship between technology and nature, and more. Huzzah for the Nerdfighter Book Club!

In 2001, Christopher Nolan conceived a notion of a horror story where industrial spies extracted information by invading your dreams. In 2010, it became a visually and financially succesful science fiction film winning critical appraisal. I want to make it into a musical, with an infinitely lower budget for a school production.

Here is the script for it so far; it's still in development and only the first three scenes have been completed. Please ignore any notations, as…

In which John discusses his Vidcon experience, thanks his brother, and announces that you (yes, you!) need to read Part I of Ray Bradbury's FAHRENHEIT 451 by next Tuesday to prepare for our discussion in the Nerdfighter Book Club. (if you've read the book before, I encourage you to try reading it again with us!)

Vidcon was amazing. Thanks to everyone who was there,…

So, new person here! I think I have it tattooed on my forehead. But no matter. I'm used to be the new person in a lot of situations. Military brat, nomadic spirit, loner... Kinda makes it impossible not to find myself in new situations. 

Found Brotherhood 2.0 from my boss at work. Pretty much hooked ever since. Donated my first loan to kiva.org. Sent everyone I knew to have an inkling towards nerdiness here. There, done my part... My other credentials include over 735 books on…

 I've just been to see the new avengers movie and it is amazing (for those of you not in the know, the film is called Marvel's avengers assemble in the UK to avoid confusion with another UK show, hence the bad pun in the title) and it got me thinking, if the world was in trouble, which 5 sci-fi or fantasy characters would you choose to defend the Earth (or avenge it)?

 My list is as follows:

-Gandalf the white (Lord of the Rings)

-Master Yoda (Star Wars)

-Batman…

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,…

Michael Aranda (http://www.youtube.com/michaelaranda) recently moved to Missoula to help with the production of SciShow and Crashcourse.

Yellow People of DFTBA,

I just discovered the symphony of science youtube videos -- they are amazing!

who would have thought autotune could be good?

We are all connected

An introduction to curse words, why they exist, where they come from, how they function, and why they are, in fact, different from other sorts of words.

And, yes, I really did say all of those bad words and, with significant detective skills you can probably figure out what it was that I was saying. Sorry for the profanity...it was interesting to scream curse words…

In addition to The Language of God and Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, I have also finished reading Bram Stoker's classic Dracula. The book is one I have read numerous times, and I have always enjoyed it more and more as I have read it. As I am sure many people can empathize, I relish the ability to compare what I though about the book on…

Yesterday was a very eventful day in that I finished reading not one but two books, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man and The Language of God. The latter entails a theology by which a person can be compatible with both science and Christianity, which is a topic that fascinates me.  In a world of extremes where people are clamoring to destroy God, denounce evolution, and yell at each other…
