Friday Videos - Jan 11th, 2019

Before we dive in, here's another quick Garth Brooks Chris Gaines Countdown update - I've added a bunch of tools and extra code to make it easier to share the GIFs I made on Twitter. You can directly embed now (like a Giphy GIF) or more quickly download as well. It's pretty swell and I suggest you try it out because that just helps the cause even more!

Okay, on to the distractions:

• When VR gets too real - when you try virtual reality for the first time, don't drop a grenade. The very end sound bit is my favorite.
• The Secret of Tortilla Chips - this is absolute perfection. It's a gag in a gag in a gag and he nails it.
• Fake Neighborhoods on Google Maps - generally, these kind of semi-funny, semi-informative YouTube videos miss the mark and land on "too annoying to watch" but this one hit the mark for me. Amusing, insightful and possibly even worth pursuing more.
• How NeoPets was sold to Scientologists - flat out interesting if you've got 16 minutes.
• kittykay96 - don't question what you're seeing, just enjoy the ride. I did.
• Don't Underestimate My Fastness - this is what the founders of the Internet had in mind when they created this wonderful ecosystem for us all.
• Pon Pon Turtle - delight.
