Restored Faith in Humanity of the Day: Heartwarming Dash Cam Videos from Russia

Check out this compilation of heartwarming moments caught on dashboard cameras that will surely restore some of your faith in humanity (and in Russia to a lesser degree).

This video is great. It’s amazing that in Russian culture it’s obviously common to stop in the middle of the road to help someone (most often an elderly lady) cross the street.

Wil Wheaton on why being a nerd is awesome

Wil delivered a message to an audience member’s newborn girl on why it’s so great to be a nerd, and a little advice for future life. It’s a goosebump-inducing video, and you should watch the whole thing here.

My favorite parts:

“Being a nerd… it’s not about what you love, it’s about how you love it… The defining characteristic that ties us all together, is that we love things.

Find the things that you love and love them the most that you can.”

Wil Wheaton is just the best. He’s going to be the Mr. Rogers of the nerd generation. Find things that you love, be honorable, be kind, work hard and be awesome.

“Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.”

Currently listening to all of the tracks on this record. If you like strings (cello, fiddle, mandolin, bass). this album is tops. It’s not classical stuff, and there’s some great variety in the pieces. If you need something upbeat but chill, this may be up your alley.

“Let me tell you about the nap. It’s absolutely fantastic. When I was a kid, my father was always trying to tell me how to be a man. And he said - I was maybe nine - he said, Philip, whenever you take a nap, take your clothes off and put a blanket over you and you’re going to sleep better. Well, as with everything, he was right. And so I now do that and I come back from the swimming pool I go to and I have my lunch and I read the paper and I take this glorious thing called a nap. And then the best part of it is that when you wake up, for the first 15 seconds you have no idea where you are. You’re just alive. That’s all you know and it’s bliss. It’s absolute bliss.”

My mom raised solid nappers. And I’m a happier person for it.

“I have always loved RSS because it gave me just the slightest bit of control and measure of accountability for the sites and blogs I read. I was able to sit back and opt out of most of the chatter, receiving only the important stuff without the risk of falling for false controversies and inaccurate news. I could spot editorial trends, identify site-biases, develop affinities for particular writers or aversions to others, and generally get the news on my terms. When a site stopped delivering a quality product, I had the satisfying ability to withdraw my subscription. Apparently that power was threatening.”

- Our Regressive Web (via azspot: davidkendall: hilker)

As I mourn the inevitable death of Goog Reader, I keep having this quiet inner dialogue of, ‘This can’t happen - they can’t kill it - too many people love it - whyyyyyyyy - I don’t want to use another readerrrrrrrr - the power of the internet saves things every day - Reader should be one of those things - damnit all.’

And for those of you that are mourning realistically, here is a link to some of our options once GR goes down for good.

These kids.

When do we stop talking about ideas like this and start filtering what we think and say? I love that they have absolutely no frame of judgement when they’re voicing their thoughts. I need to spend more time around kids and kick this jaded adult thing.

This gem turned up in my inbox today and it’s an awesome reminder that over the course of half a decade (whaaaaaaat?!) this little tumblr has brought me innumerable good times and amazing friends. She may not receive the attention I gave her back in the beginning, but I’m working on that.

Here’s to 5 more years of adventures and meeting AFK IRL super fantastic, geographically sporadic interwebbers.

Hopefully all of the snow we’ve gotten lately is nourishing beauties like these. So ready for spring.
