Cool Creators #12: ViHart

This is a post in a series about creators I enjoy.

Today I'd like to introduce you to ViHart.  There's a good chance you're already familiar with her.  ViHart is a youtube creator, among other things.  Her iconic style and voice are instantly recognizable, and most of her videos involve math of some sort.  Take a look at this video, for example, probably the most famous video she's put out to date.

This is a classic example of the way in which she explains complex topics in simple ways, so that nearly anyone can understand to some degree.  My favorite videos tend to be the ones about music though, and this is one of my personal favorites.

She is also an accomplished mathematician, and you can find her website here.  Be sure to follow her on Twitter, too!

Thanks for tuning in!

Stay tuned next time, when I introduce you to another creator I enjoy!

Cool Creators #11: Bill Wurtz

This is a post in a series about creators I enjoy.

Today's creator I would like to introduce you to is Bill Wurtz.  He has been around for quite some time, and his unique style is fun to observe.  His videos, for example, are very well produced and have a purposefully slapdash feel, with heavy contrasts in color and mood.  Most of his videos are fairly short, but more recently they've become longer.  Check this one out, I really dig it.

I think it is safe to say that his style is unique among creators, on youtube or elsewhere.

Bill also has a website, where you can ask him various questions, or view most of his previous work.  He also has a twitter where he apparently makes one post per day.  If you enjoy his work, be sure to subscribe, so you can be the first to know when his new creations arrive!

Thanks for tuning in!  Stay tuned for more short blog posts on creators I enjoy!

Cool Creators #10: Poisoning The Well

This is a post in a series of posts about creators I enjoy.

Today I'd like to introduce you to Poisoning The Well, a comedy duo who consistently creates social commentary videos in a humorous manner.  Each video is well produced and timely, and addresses a current event in the social media sphere.  From the skeptic clone uproar to the dawn of internet bloodsports, PhatPat and SoFain give their unique style and spin to the events that shape our online lives.  Take for example this video, perhaps the best video on this channel, regarding whether or not dogs have boobs brains, I mean.  Do dogs have brains?  The intro's a bit long on this one, but I guarantee you'll enjoy it, or your melons money back!

The epitome of high-brow entertainment.

If you enjoyed that, be sure to subscribe for all their new content IN REAL TIME!  You can also find SoFain and Phatpat on twitter.  They can also be followed on facebook, and I hear they have a functional website resting at this domain.

Stay tuned next time as we look at other great creators that I enjoy. Thanks for tuning in!

Cool Creators #9: Rawman

This is a post in a series I'm doing on creators I enjoy.

Seems that I missed a few days, sorry about that y'all.  I got kinda busy and sidetracked.

Today I'd like to introduce you to one of my favorite creators, Rawman.  He is a self-professed grime rapper with an affection for video games and formal complaints.

This video here is indicative of his style, and I think you'll enjoy it.  This one particularly is a review of a movie he really enjoyed, and you can see his passion for it.

You can also find Rawman on Twitter if that's your kind of thing. Don't forget to subscribe if you enjoy his content.

Stay tuned next time when we look at another of my favorite creators!

Cool Creators #8: The Captain's Stuff and Things

This is a post in a series about creators I really enjoy.

Today I'm going to be introducing you to one of my favorite YouTube response channels.  The Captain has a fairly straightforward response channel.  The thing that makes his channel stick out is the style of animation used for the various characters, which are all voiced by him!

Go take a look here and see what I mean.  This was a good video.

The captain is one of my favorite response-type channels.  Go check him on Twitter for more high-sailing shenanigans!

Stay tuned next time when we check out another creator!

Cool Creators #7: Jeph Jacques

This is a post in a series about creators I enjoy.

Today's creator is Jeph Jacques, and he's primarily known for his webcomic series Questionable Content, though he has a great many other creative endeavors. 

His art style has improved greatly since strip number one, and has also changed over time.

I made a collage of images from the various eras of style found on QC comic.

Jeph also has other webcomic adventures, like those found at Alice Grove, or dord.horse for example.  He also had a bit of a spate with walmart over a horse.  Jeph is also known for his soundcloud, where he uploads music occasionally. 









There's a song I rather liked.  Hopefully you will enjoy it also.  You can find Jeph on Twitter as well, where he's fairly active.

If you like what he does, be sure to follow him on soundcloud or add QC to your feed reader, so you can keep up with the various things he does.

Stay tuned for more blog posts discussing creators I really enjoy!

Cool Creators #6: Steve Terreberry

This is a post in a series, of creators I enjoy.  Perhaps you can enjoy them too!

Today we're going to be taking a look at Steve Terreberry, a cool creator whose main focus is on music.  He has a very unique and quirky style, and a generally family-friendly approach to video creation and presentation.  Steve is most well known for his Youtube channel I believe, and here is one of my favorite videos from him.  It's been around a little while now, but it's the kind of content I really do prefer from creators like this.

This puts him squarely in the domain of other big names you might recognize, a few of whom I plan to cover in future installments of this series.  Education is not the forefront of his channel, but you can still learn quite a bit about some of the more obscure or abstract aspects of music theory, like you can find in this video discussing ten of the longest spanned chords on guitar.

This video starts with an advert from StevieT, which is becoming a trend with most youtubers at this point, so that's fair.  His Youtube channel claims that he has a facebook, but I was only able to find him on Instagram, which I don't really use much, so I don't know how active he is there.

Steve generally has a a video or two every week, and he's changed format a bit recently to do more blog-like videos, which are also entertaining.

If you enjoyed him, be sure to hit that subscribe button so you can see all the newest content when he posts it.  Stay tuned next time as we look at another cool creator!

Cool Creators #5: AronRa

This is a series on creators I enjoy.

Today featured creator is AronRa, who is most well known for his educational series on evolution, biology and phylogeny.  Give a listen here to his series on the systematic classification of life, and you'll get a sense of how his fast-paced delivery of words that would tangle the tongues of a less astute person is second nature.

AronRa is also an opponent of the Texas board of education, who are bent upon disseminating falsehood, half-truth, and outright abdication of history.  The Texas BoE is responsible for the major paradigms of what material enters textbooks for the school system by virtue of being the single largest purchaser of said textbooks. This means that primary and secondary school textbook publishers tend to print books based upon the standards set forth by Texas, and any inaccuracies or falsehoods which appear here also tend to appear in the vast majority of textbooks across the rest of the country.

Below is a video from the Center for Inquiry in which he gives a speech on the nature of the indoctrination of creationism in the Texas curriculum.

Please be sure to subscribe to AronRa if you enjoy this content.  You can also find him on Twitter.

Thanks for tuning in, and stay tuned for more!

Cool Creators! #1: 3Blue1Brown

Today I've decided that I'll start a blog series about various creators I enjoy.  Each day I'll make a blog post with a featured creator of my choice, keeping it short so that you can get right into the fun!

Today I'd like to introduce you to 3Blue1Brown, a Youtube Creator who does interesting videos primarily relating to math.  Here's his most recent video at the time of writing this article.

It's a very good video on the Fourier transform.  He uses a very distinctive style of animation to explain complex mathematical ideas in a way that most anyone can understand.

If you enjoy his work be sure to subscribe, and also check him out on Twitter and Facebook as well!

I think his videos speak for themselves, so that's going to be the end of this one.

Let me know what you think down in the comments, and don't forget to check out my social media to the right hand side as well. There's also a link to my RSS feed in the dooblydoo, so you can check out all the stuff I post when it's new!

Thanks for tuning in! 

Cool Creators #4: Telltale Atheist

This is a post in a series about creators I enjoy.

Today we'll be looking at Telltale Atheist, a Youtube Creator and ex-Jehova's Witness.

Telltale runs a Youtube channel where he creates videos exposing the poisonous aspects of JW culture that you might not be familiar with, as well as those of other religions and cults.  He shares his stories in a format which showcases his art style in a complimentary fashion.

Here's his most popular video, wherein he responds to the Watchtower society's propaganda which is used to indoctrinate children into the faith.

This is an excellent video which demonstrates the style and approach you will find in all of his videos.  Be sure to subscribe if you have an interest in this sort of video.  You can also find Telltale on Facebook, Twitter, and his Discord server.

Thanks for tuning in!

Cool Creators #3: Galactic Bubble Productions

This is part of a series I'm starting to highlight some creators I like.

Today let's take a look at Galactic Bubble Productions, one of my favorite Youtube Creators.

The channel is run by a lad named Byro, and he does some kick-butt music.  Here's one of my favorite videos he's made so far, because I rather enjoy his hard edge and animation style.

Don't let the thumbnail cause you to pass up this great piece of art.  Banjo has a unique style of taking apart and analyzing current issues, as well as incorporating various animated vignettes on his live streams.  I do wish he weren't so hard on poor Johnny though.  Here's a recent stream he did that I found very enjoyable, and I hope you will too!

If you enjoy Byro then be sure to subscribe for more great content just like this, and follow him on Twitter for maximum engagement.

Thanks for tuning in!

Cool Creators! #2: The 8-Bit Guy / 8-Bit Keys

Cool Creators is a blog series I'm starting which will share channels I enjoy with you.

Today I'd like to introduce you to The 8-Bit Guy, who runs the channel of his name, as well as the channel 8-Bit Keys.

The 8-Bit Guy does videos primarily on the computing tech from the 1980s and earlier. This includes unboxing of various sorts of equipment, as well as restorations, programming reviews, and overviews of new retro gadgets.

Here's an example of a video I found interesting, and I think you might enjoy also, even if you have only a passing interested in antique computing equipment.

It's a video on light-sensing technologies that you might be familiar with, which were popular at the time.

The next video I'm going to show you is the newest one at time of writing, and it's about various new toy keyboards.  VERY INFORMATIVE!  VERY ENTERTAINING!

I thoroughly recommend subscribing to both of his channels if you enjoy this kind of content.  Please also check him out on Facebook if you want more interaction with him!

Thanks for tuning in!
