Oh man, sometimes a good ad can be, well really good.

Clearly lots of people have lots of answers to this question, but this guy has an interesting perspective.  He’s describing the direction of the country and how we’re losing a connection to doing things well using a story about a sign to illustrate his point.  Its a little bit elitist, but I like it a lot.

Ok, so that title has very little to do  with the content of this post, but the main feature of the content here is a nerd who would be stoned to death on mars.  I don’t want to ruin it, so you’ll just have to take my word for it, but lets just say he’s entertaining enough for me to have watched several videos in which he describes elements of the periodic table.  My favorite (so far) being Mendeleeveum (Md, in the second row of the bottom two added on rows).

Oh yeah, so what I’m linking to is a periodic table of videos, where this enormous nerd explains every element of the periodic table.
