Bach in the Woods
I don’t care that this is a commercial. Seeing this brought me no small amount of joy, and reminded me of the early Internet from maybe a decade ago. Just a lovely, lovely thing.

Dinnertime for Phineas and Daisy
Lately, the videos I do are pretty quick – a few seconds here and there, maybe 30 seconds at the most. So it felt like a fun opportunity to take a longer video, and just watch Phineas and Daisy do their thing.
Drive and Listen
I’m reminded a bit of when Liz and I were in Amsterdam, and I took a long video of just street traffic. Because as a tourist, just watching the world go by is an amazing thing to behold. That’s true anywhere, honestly. Watching the world go by is an amazing experience anywhere. It’s just that we forget this fact until we travel, and remember it anew.
The Ultimate Squirrel Obstacle Course
Well, those were nice plans but I never quite found the motivation. And instead, I found this video from Mark Rober. Who is definitely much smarter than I am, and who definitely has more motivation and follow-through.
Boss Bitch Fight Challenge
I love how folks are finding ways to collaborate together, even though we’re all pretty far apart. Amidst all the dark news and numbers, it’s nice to have this sort of thing that reminds me of how great the Internet can be, sometimes.
The Wire, Revisited
I started re-watching The Wire recently, and have mostly made my way through the first season. It started off while I was browsing for something to watch, and one episode turned into two and three, and we were off to the races. Again.
Isolation Commentary
“Olive: focused, relentless, tasting absolutely nothing…”
Greg Davies: The Washing Story
I’ve listened to this multiple times, and it still cracks me up each time. Davies is a great storyteller, and you can watch him read the audience… and see him start to cater his timing to Ryan Gosling, once he starts to see Gosling’s reactions.
Phineas Dreams
Random moment where Liz and I realized Phineas was sleeping in the bunny maze. I was trying to be super quiet, and got a small bit of video where he seemed to be dreaming. Chewing on some delicious carrots, no doubt.
Taskmaster
The phrase “melon buffet” now causes me to giggle a lot. It’s a silly premise, but with just one episode in… I’m finding myself wanting to see more. It strikes the right balance between silly and competitive for me.
Willy Wonka and the Snowpiercer Factory
Luke Palmer, from Rhino Stew, made this glorious connection. Let’s just say that his premise is that Charlie, from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, is actually Wilford, from Snowpiercer.
Remembering Myst
I remember playing this game with my old house mate Jim, back when we were undergrads in college. It still definitely evokes a particular feel and time for me, and it was fascinating to hear some of the history and technical details related to the game.
How Jawbreakers are Made
As a child of the 80’s who grew up on Mr. Rogers, small wonder I’m a fan of these types of “how it’s made” videos. This stuff is fascinating to me, and I’m slowly realizing with growing concern/excitement that there’s a treasure trove of these types of videos on YouTube.
Who’s On First
During a meeting today, a random series of comments led to someone mentioning the classic Abbot and Costello routine: Who’s On First?. A few of us were familiar with it, a few were not. I threw out the phrase “I Don’t Know” in the hopes that someone would respond with “Third Base,” but sadly no one did. I tried to…
Chris Ramsay Solves Puzzles on the Internet
There was something about the puzzle itself that caught my eye. And after watching Ramsay step through trying to figure it out, I realized I kind of enjoyed that whole process. Looking more, I found he’s got a ton of videos posted, which should make for some interesting watching.
