Calling out all Nerdfighters!

My name is Mariana and I’ve been a Nerdfighter since 2008. I’m currently writing my master thesis about participation and culture in online communities, and decided to do a case study about Nerdfighteria.

I chose this community because I believe there is a lot to learn from its unique history and dynamics. Nerdfighteria has shown time and again that it is capable of reaching great goals, and I think it is important to explore and understand how it does so. With that in mind, I prepared a survey that inquires about Nerdfighter culture and Nerdfighters’ participatory behavior in order to better understand the inner workings of this community… And now I need YOUR help.

If you watch Vlogbrothers’ videos and consider yourself a Nerdfighter (or not!), please take the time to take my survey. It takes around 15-20 minutes to fill out, and you would be helping me out enormously.

You can find the survey here.

Once I finish my study, I will be sure to share my findings on Tumblr.

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions about the questionnaire or my research at all.

Thank you all so much, and DFTBA!!!

Mariana

Poetry Makes Nothing Happen: Thoughts on Ai Weiwei from the Indianapolis Museum of Art

Sarah does not appear in vlogbrothers videos, but you can follow her on tumblr: http://absolumentmoderne.tumblr.com

In which John visits the Indianapolis Museum of Art, where his wife is a curator, and thinks about the work of the artist and dissident Ai Weiwei while walking through “According to What,” his first major retrospective in the United States. If you live in or near Indianapolis, you should really see the show. It’s very special, and will be here until July 21st.

In which Hank answers real questions from real nerdfighters….with the help of some friends, most of whom are him. But also, Henry from Minute Physics makes an extremely brief cameo:http://www.youtube.com/minutephysics

Always a pleasure catching up with the fabulous John Green. My favorite part: “Let’s Instagram!” “What does that mean?” “Just smile, I’ll take a picture.” “Wait, what? Right now?” These are the pictures that resulted from that conversation.

I had the honor of designing The Fault In Our Stars Audiobook Box Set that John Green is reading. It was exciting, and now it’s off to the printers so I can finally share the final design here with you guys.

Let me know what you think. I hope I did the book and the box set justice. I know mine’s going on the display shelf when it gets here! =)

Oh man this looks so good.

So this thing I had a small part in designing, and a BIG part in assembling and packing and assembling and packing, and assembl… IS BACK!

John’s publisher and audiobook publisher have both very graciously allowed us to print a new Second Edition. Everything about this second edition is the same as the first edition, except the color of the wristband is different. This way if you missed out on the first edition, you can now again have a chance to get all the great audio and video and postcards and other memorabilia, while those who bought the first edition will still have something exclusive to their box.

The second edition is again limited to 3,000 copies and will start shipping in about a month. Preorders are open now. Yay!

“You will always be stuck inside of your body, with your consciousness, seeing through the world through your own eyes, but the gift and challenge of your education is to see others as they see themselves, to grapple with this mean and crazy and beautiful world in all its baffling complexity. We haven’t left you with the easiest path, I know, but I have every confidence in you, and I wish you a very happy graduation, despite the circumstances.” [x]

Hey fellow Nerdfighters!

John actually asked me to send this to you (I am thrilled!) hoping that you’d relate!! :)

Thanks!
