Some Mind-Bending Earth GIFs
http://earthengine.google.org/#timela…
Google’s new Earth Engine, powered by NASA’s landsat satellites, gives a time lapse view of (pretty much) every land surface on earth over the last 25 years. The view is amazing, and inspiring, and at times terrifying.
It can be hard to understand the scale here, but our impacts on this planet are huge, and at this point it’s clear that we’re putting ourselves in a bit of a tight spot.
The Clif Bars Go in the Jar Because Mice: An Office Tour
In which John takes you on a Cribs-style visit to the Indianapolis headquarters of Crash Course, mental_floss, and the Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers.
In which I scream a lot
I may be spending too much time on Tumblr…
DOCTOR GREEN
In which John makes a video about his forthcoming entrance into the ranks of doctors. And visits the dentist.
This is probably the most times in the history of nerdfighteria that the word “doctor” has been spoken without being followed by a single “Who.”
On Sexual Orientation, with Hannah, Ze, Tyler, and Meg
When I was growing up, the stigma surrounding homosexuality was so severe (not in my household, but in the broader culture) that I feared I was gay because of tiny little signs that actually had very little (or nothing) to do with sexuality (like enjoying the music of the Village People). That confusion was terrifying to me because this stuff just wasn’t talked about culturally (even though my parents were super-supportive.)
Because that was hard for me, I assume that it’s hard for lots of other people, so I wanted to make a video about sexual orientation in a frank and adult way, talking about identity, love, sex, and attraction. But since my own experience is pretty limited (being pretty much totally straight) I asked some friends if they’d like to share their experiences and thoughts.
Thanks VERY much to:

For thinking great thoughts and sticking their neck out there for me.
Also, Hannah has a whole series on coming out and sexual orientation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ_8O9…

Flags and Helpers
In which John talks about the bombing at the Boston Marathon while he drives to the dentist.
North Korea: Explained
Is North Korea going to bomb us? Is North Korea a Threat? Is North Korea Communist? Why does North Korea Hate us?
These (according to my extremely imprecise research) are the most common questions people in the world have about North Korea…I have done my best to answer these questions using mostly knowledge that I stole from a variety of sources around the internet over the course of a couple days of research.
TL:DW - North Korea is terrifying and terrible, they are a threat to global stability and even more of a threat to their own people. But, no, they are not going to nuke anybody…unless they really want to destroy themselves.
Hank’s doing VEDA, y’all (vlogging every day in April)! Here’s day two; check out yesterday’s here.
