Hey there. Hi I'm Jake. I just got back to New York. I was on a trip.
A little trippy doodle and it was very exciting.
But I wonder howmanypeopleareinspacerightnow.com
That is a far out DONG, something you can do online now guys.
Forget space, travel through time with the Webster Time Travel Dictionary.
Enter a year and find out what words first came into print that year.
The word ‘virtual reality’ first appeared in 1987, Web Page first appeared in 1994,
and Gamification in 2010.
Keep in mind this isn’t the first time these words have ever been used, just the first
time they have been used in a publication recognized by Webster.
But really who needs all these words! Silly words!
There’s only 50 in Suess’s book green Eggs and Ham.
He won a bet it’s not a sham.
Read the book’s word’s line by line, the rhymes in there are mighty fine.
But done with this?
Need an Escape?
Then check out all these fractal shapes. Woah there's still rhyming.
With Mandelbrot Explorer, endlessly zoom through the visualization of Mandelbrot’s fractal
equation.
Every winding crack leads to more shapes and colors.
What’s really interesting is that if you zoom in far enough, you’ll eventually find
another Mandelbrot, known as a Minibrot, which is an adorable name.
It can be kind of complex, and it may take a while to finish, so if you need to know how long
that’ll be,
Head over to How Long To Read This.com, enter the name of a book, and it’ll tell you how
long you need to finish it.
You can also take a reading speed test that will show your personal reading
speed.
It would take me this long to read Ready Player One
And look, I get it, reading takes a lot of time, and I’m sure you’re a busy person,
but is your schedule as precise as these famous creatives?
At Daily Routines, you can see the exact ritual of various well known artists and writers,
who were known for keeping to an extremely strict schedule.
Pablo Picasso went to bed at 3am and woke up at noon, every day.
“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently
believe, and upon which we must vigorously act.
There is no other route to success.”
All of the information on this graph can be found in Daily Routines
by Mason Currey.
Don’t believe someone could stick to such a strict schedule every single day?
Well, The proof is trivial!
Just view the problem as a Cayley graph whose elements are dihedral semigroups!
I don’t know what that means, but The Proof is Trivial.com randomly generates nonsense
comebacks for when you need to show you’ve got nothing to prove!
Just like this head has to prove that it’s worth feeding.
In Feed The Head, explore this blue man’s cranium to discover the secrets within.
Feed him different colored pellets to give him special powers.
But fading him his own eyeball makes him cry :(
Wow that was a lot of things you can do, it feels like we started this so long ago.
It’s only been 5 minutes??
It feels like it’s been a year.
Well either way, here’s the new years music box.
Click on the bubbles to change which instrument plays which parts, and click the bubble in
the middle to make them all play together!
Happy New Year!
If you enjoy doing things online now guys then you should also check out the courses on Brilliant.org.
Brilliant was nice enough to sponsor this episode and we've mentioned them before and they're amazing they have all
these incredible courses on physics, science and math,
and puzzles and logic. Things like that. But the one I'm currently doing is a course on fractals
Like the Mandelbrot set I mentioned earlier, a fractal is any repeating shape whose parts
have the same or similar shape as the whole.
Tree branches, shorelines, and some flowers are fractal-like in nature.
Brilliant’s fractal page goes into a lot of detail so check out the link in the description
below to get 20% off for the first 200 of ya that sign up.
Maybe it could be a good Christmas present, holiday gift.
Uhh yeah well I'm kind of tired from flying
I'm gonna go eat some pizza and play Call of Duty
And as always, thanks for watching.
*do not know what this noise is*
