Nerdfighters gathering in Provo, UT to put nice notes on strangers’ cars!
IRL nerdfighter shenanigans make us so happy and we’d love to feature them more often. If your group would like to contribute, you can tag pictures and the like with #nerdfighter gathering or submit them (preferably with some sweet deets about your adventures!).
If you don’t know of any nerdfighters in your area, check out our ever-growing list of nerdfighter facebook groups! And if you don’t use facebook, there’s always lots of local nerdfighter activity to be found in Our Pants.

So, I met Spock while wearing a Leonard Nimoy shirt and doing the Nerdfighter salute.
You could say I’ve reached nerdvana.

THE BROTHERHOOD 2.0 DVD BOX SET KICKSTARTER
Hello, Nerdfighters!
We over here at FYNF HQ have been sitting on this idea for a while - producing and distributing Brotherhood 2.0 on DVD, through DFTBA Records!
TWO brothers
ONE video blog
365 days of textless communcation
John and Hank have decided not to communicate except through video blogs for an entire year…. AND THEY DON’T MIND IF YOU WATCH THEM DO IT!
Brotherhood 2.0 was the original project of the vlogbrothers, when John and Hank uploaded videos every weekday for the entire year of 2007. This DVD set will contain 720+ minutes of video, covering everything from the heartbreaking tale of John’s eye surgery to Hank’s song about Helen Hunt that shocked the community. Witness the birth of the Nerdfighter community in this six-disc set!
There was a time before crashcourse and the Lizzie Bennet Diaries; before DFTBA Records and Final Cut Pro and high-definition camcorders. Let’s take a trip in the Way Back Machine and experience Brotherhood 2.0 the way it was never meant to be seen: on HD televisions!
This is something we’ve been trying to put into action for a long time now, and so, based on previous success, we’re trying out kickstarter to get this idea into action. Hopefully you all will be generous enough to support our venture, as well!
American Nerdfighter in Amsterdam! Visited March 28 & 29, 2013, hoping the trees would be in bloom and that the petals would fall like snow the way they did for Hazel and Augustus. Instead, it was below freezing outside and actual snow began to fall as we waited in the queue for the Anne Frank House! Special thanks to John and TFIOS for inspiring me to visit such an amazing piece of world history. DFTBA!

How Much is a Human Life Worth?
Once when I like 10 years old, I was sitting in a school auditorium…I looked at all the people, and the (required) fire exits in the room. And I thought to myself that there weren’t enough doors to save everyone in every situation. In order to do that, you’d have to make the whole building doors…but it wasn’t worth it…so there must be some calculus to determine how much trouble / money a human life was worth.
I was right…and it’s not an inhuman thing, it’s important to know. And in this video, we talk about the monetary value of a human life. It’s variable…depending on whether you’re talking about selling the individual moments, or ending the life forever. But I don’t think it should be…if we’re willing to sell all the individual moments of our lives for $2M, why would we then value the act of not dying at far more than that? Maybe it’s because we treasure our histories more than we treasure the moments yet to come, but that seems wrong to me.
