Hey Ding Dongers.
Michael here. Just Michael. Kevin and Jake aren't here. They were with me in the last DONG.
Umm but now you...you just have me only.
Umm I'm...I'm kind of terrible.
No! No I'm not!
I'm confident and good and worth your time!

Here's some other DONGs, things you can do online now guys.
Are you ready to have the goodest English grammar of all your friends?
Well this page is full of exercises like “Finding Comma Splices and Fused Sentences.”
Click on one of the underlined portions of the sentence that you think is either a comma
splice or a fused sentence.
But if you’re wrong, it’s okay.
You will get this screaming beetle but you’ll also have the opportunity to understand why
you were wrong.
With enough practice you’ll become a grammar guru which will be beneficial when trying
to smooth talk Sven.
Who is Sven?
Only the toughest bouncer in all of Germany.
This website uses your camera and microphone so that Sven can read your body language and
hear you for himself.
Alright I’m ready.
No! I've never even heard of...drugs?
Huh. I really felt like I did everything right.
He must have some kind of SVENdetta against me.
Right guys? No? Well...
If the only place that seems far enough from my jokes is Mount Everest, I’ve got just the
thing for you.
Here we are given the 14 highest mountains and shown the best route up them.
To get to the top of Everest, you can either take this route or this one.
Looks easy but I’m a beginner so maybe I’ll start with the 14th highest.
Once you’ve conquered some mountains
Play klocki.
A game where you try to connect these lines by swapping two squares with each other like
this.
The rounded portions are the ends.
Once you’ve mastered this game check out
This Interactive Graphic of every active satellite orbiting Earth.
Right now there are more than 1,300 taking pictures and broadcasting communication and
navigation data.
As you scroll down you can read interesting facts about them like “Launching satellites
cost at least $4,653 per kilogram.”
You can sort them by country, age, primary user, launch vehicle, purpose.
And speaking of purpose,
Browser Ball’s is to have fun.
Click on “Launch Browser Ball” and then throw it around.
Watch as it bounces from one edge of the window to the other.
Create a new window and throw the ball across them both.
Create one, two, or a million windows and just have a BALL...in water, with this
Simulation that lets you manipulate factors like light direction with your L key or gravity
with G. Draw across the surface to make ripples.
You can go here to read up on how this page was created.
“Caustic” is the term that refers to the pattern light makes when reflected or refracted
by a curved surface.
It looks like this.
But the computation required for this is often too immense for real time graphics so they
had to use path tracing.
Which leads to this page.
Path tracing is a realistic lighting algorithm that simulates light bouncing around a scene.
It supports diffuse, mirrored, and glossy surfaces.
But here’s where it get’s really interesting.
Select the light and then move it around.
The shadows and direction of the light changes as you do it.
For another cool computer graphic simulation
Check out this jellyfish floating around.
Click here to see the particle view.
Now, in this view you can see the physics at work that make the jellyfish’s movements in water realistic.
Down here you can see things like the constraints put on the way the particles move.
And you can change the colors to make your very own majestic jellyfish creation.
Are you jellyOUS of my eye for color?
No.
So, uhh uhh links for every DONG in this episode can be found in the description below.
If you wanna watch more DONGs, there's a playlist for that. Playlists, ahh that's a choice DONG.
And as always thanks for watching.
