To Influence People, First Crack a Book
To paraphrase Carl Sagan who once said, “If you want to create an Apple Pie from scratch, you must first invent the Universe,” the path to meeting people as an adult is a difficult one and requires that you start at the beginning. A book seems like a good place to start… We hope that […]
Small Block, Big Lawn
Sometimes we do things because we think it’s a better way. Sometimes we do things because there’s a chance that it will make a difference, or solve a long-standing problem, or improve a condition we see around us. And sometimes we do something just because of the sound! There’s just something about that sound that […]

We haven’t had a lot of chances to watch Louis CK work a crowd, but this seemed like a good time. Nerdwriter1 decided to illustrate the anatomy of both a Louis CK joke, and his masterful delivery. We thought it wise to watch some of his work before studying this analysis, and were delighted by […]

Grilling Deep Dive
We all know that cooking is both a science and an art. In fact, maybe most art is a science and an art. This clip brings the both into focus as we see how to sear the surface of a good steak. Okay, Now we’re hungry! Hey just a reminder YouTubers and filmmakers. There’s still a chance […]
Fire an Arrow? I Think NOT Sir!
We love to see the battles in movies where they use fire arrows. It seems like such a good idea on a movie screen. But would it really work? This charming video explores the matter. It’s longer than we normally post, but we couldn’t stop watching because the narrator is just so darned engaging. Be […]
