    I searched "should I get my child vaccinated?" on YouTube (signed out, in a privacy browser) and the "Up Next" suggestion algorithm queued up an anti-vaccination video after just one click. From there things didn't get better. Here's my "rabbit hole" path:

    SUCH a great example of really clever engineering making the world better.

    Really proud of this one. First time I have felt like a legitimate film maker, and not just video essay YouTuber. Aiming to do a lot more on-site filming this year.

    Preach.

    12 years later and I still feel accomplished and proud when I make even a pretty basic YouTube video. If you find sustainable creative fuel, never let it go, it's such a gift.

    Absolutely beautiful video created using still images taken by the Cassini spacecraft during its flyby of Jupiter and while at Saturn. Shown is Io and Europa over Jupiter's Great Red Spot and then Titan as it passes over Saturn and it's edge-on rings. NASA/JPL/Kevin M. Gill

    NEW VIDEO: I worked with April Jenifer Choi to capture the FORMATION of a shock wave on the tip of a bullwhip. I'd appreciate it if you'd watch the video (it gets a bit more technical than most Smarter Every Day videos):
