1000 VIDEOS!!!

In which Hank celebrates the creation of 1000 Vlogbrothers videos. It's a bit of a clip show.

I can hardly believe we've been able to do this. To create such a huge body of work and to be part of an even larger movement of creation, both in terms of the huge growth in online video and what that has allowed, and in terms of the community of Nerdfighters and what we create together. I'm astounded every day by the kindness, intelligence, support, and awesome of this community, and I really can't imagine being any luckier.

Why The Rich Pay Lower Taxes

In which Hank takes on some fascinatingly boring stuff about the U.S. tax code, what sorts of incomes there are, how tax brackets work, and why rich people pay a substantially lower tax rate than most people in America.

And then he makes some value judgements and expresses some opinions which are not necessarily the opinions of his brother, and are obviously the opinions of a guy who is not an economist. But really? It just doesn't seem fair.

Box Sets, Book Covers, and Punishments

In which John talks about his forthcoming book box set. Also, John takes you on a whirlwind international tour of TFIOS translation covers. In a shocking twist, none of them feature feet OR whispering girls. In addition to all this, John offers a compromise in regard to the outstanding punishments.

Six Reasons Neil Armstrong was a BADASS

This video contains the word "BADASS."

My poetical waxing is on SciShow here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkqxfp...

I just wanted to add a bit to all of the discussions surrounding Neil Armstrong. We shouldn't forget that he was perfect for this mission not only because he was humble and would make a great symbol for our country and the world, but that he was also an amazing, highly skilled, tried by fire, pilot with NERVES OF FREAKING STEEL!

Happy Birthday John Green!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!

I've had a hard time getting the full resolution mosaic online because it's so huge, but keep in touch, I'll get it online somehow!

Chewie Solo 2012! http://dftba.com/chewie

Thank you to everyone who is a part of what we do, no one does anything alone, but I feel like that's more true for the two of us than anyone, like, ever. Just wanted to take the time to say it on John's birthday.

And thanks to all the people who participated in the mosaic! Try to find yourself!

Is College Worth It?

In which John ponders whether a college degree is worth the high tuition, student loans, opportunity cost, and low-paying entry-level positions involved. Is the cost involved worth the returns? Is this even a simple economic question, or are there intangible benefits that come along with education?
