Vi Hart’s paper snowflakes
I watch a ton of geeky science and math videos on YouTube. Vi Hart is one of the best. I love the way she explains math with doodles. On her latest episode she made paper snowflakes. As a kid, I wish I would have been that creative, or even shown, the different ways to make paper snowflakes. Math is awesome.

My favorite old school rap covers
So yesterday Jason Weisberger of Boingboing posted the Dynamite Hack cover of Easy-E’s “Boyz in the Hood”. It’s not new—in fact it’s rather old—but it’s a kick ass version, and I kind of forgot about it. Here it is if you have no idea what I’m talking about.
So then I thought I would share some of my favorite old school rap covers.
The Gourds had a great version of Snoop Dog’s “Gin and Juice”.
Nina Gordon from Veruca Salt covered NWA’s “Straight Outta Compton”.
And no old school rap cover list would be complete without Ben Folds’s cover of Dr. Dre’s “Bitches Ain’t Shit”. There are probably better version out there, but I was at this one. I was right up front, so one of those heads could be mine.
