Please help me spread this video far and wide

I've turned off monetization and ads for this video. Please help me spread it far and wide in an attempt to raise money for these boys.

Sorry for those blank messages! Here's what I said:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqqn9mEq8vo Sorry for those blank messages! I shot a video instead! Here's what the original message said: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey guys and gals, I wanted to drop you al one to let you know that my next video is my yearly attempt to fund an orphanage in Peru. After seeing the situation in Peru first hand several years ago, my wife and I decided that we were going to po...

Webcast tonight to talk Cologne Random Acts & Orion

Hey guys, I'm doing a webcast TONIGHT (December 4th) to talk about my cologne experiment and Orion. Bring your Orion info!

Here's the link! http://www.spreecast.com/events/december-coffee-chat The Spreecast should open 15 minutes early.

Look closely at the little guy helping me review the footage! I was operating the high speed camera and he was looking over my shoulder. Cute! Click the attached file.

I got hummingbirds to drink out of this....

Soooo...... I just spoke at TEDx Vienna (they paid for my flight). I used Patreon money to fly my wife over here with me. Thank you. We're 1/2 way through this pregnancy and it was really nice to spend a few days with her... even if one was jet-lagged and the other was in a conference. We got to spend today out and about. For your viewing pleasure.... this guy spoke a few speeches after me and referenced my talk. He's growing an ear out of his arm. You know... for "art". Destin

A quick Thank You from a rented bus in Peru

I just got home and wanted to quickly send you something to show you know that I'm appreciative of your support. Thank You. We're building and setting up an orphanage in Peru to get boys off the street using the Project for Awesome funds from last year. It's important to me that I can honestly say on the P4A video "we don't use the funds you donate for our flights to Peru, we pay for that on our own". Since you've given me your support via Patreon, I view those funds as fair game to use for ...

I Found WiFi in Iquitos.

Guys, I'm alive in Peru. I found wifi in Iquitos. This is a huge deal. I was actually able push some image files up so you can see what I did today. I played soccer with orphans and shot some video for the next Project for Awesome update. When the boys hugged me you could feel the fact that they wanted a father. They hugged me like they wanted a Dad. When I told them "I Love You" their grasp would get firmer around my shoulders. We're doing the right thing. Your support via Patreon fle...

Packing for PERU - Google Hangout RIGHT NOW.

I'm leaving for Peru in an Hour. I realized I haven't done a hangout this month. I'm packing. Want to watch and talk about what I'm doing and why I procrastinated? https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/hoaevent/AP36tYdjsYk2kjFzT7shk85CkZ09uktth3EASepsp7fXIcYSKFIKNA

Update from vacation

First family vacation in a while. Here's an update.

BONUS! Butterfly Images.

Hey guys, I just waned to drop you a line to apologize for not doing a live coffee chat recently. My schedule has been very difficult and I feel like you deserve a couple of days heads up. Some people DID jump on the live edit with me when I was working on the Tattoo video, which was very nice. I'm still pretty floored that you guys have decided to use part of your disposable income to help me do what I'm doing. I was able to take my wife to a concert last night in Nashville (about 2 hours ...

Tattoo GIFs

Here are some cool GIFs you are free to share on the internet wherever! Hopefully they'll drive traffic back to Smarter Every Day. http://imgur.com/a/3CtLa

Secret show announcement

Hey guys. We're not making this announcement until next week. There are 600 tickets to this event, and I figured it was only fitting to give Patrons the first crack at them! It's in Huntsville, Alabama at the Space and Rocket Center under the Saturn V rocket. I can't promise it will be an amazing event (we're still working it out), but we'll all be hanging out together. Me, Derek, Henry, CGPGrey, and Brady. Would love to see you there. Best airport is HSV. 2014-09-27 13:45:52 +0000 UTC View Post

I'm editing the next video online right now if you'd like to watch. It's over now... I'll post the link when it processes.

Bad internet in hotel = I'm a liar

Guys, I should have sent this last night, i apologize. The internet in my hotel room (I'm on a business trip) is not fast enough to support streaming reliably. Basically I'm saying I'm a dirty liar and didn't do the live edit last night as planned. I did however take my mother to a tattoo parlor last night to film the needles that they use. The next video is tattooing in slow motion. We have been very busy working on a batch of content to shoot out there with the video when it goes live. ...

Editing online tomorrow night.

I'm going to do an editing hangout tomorrow night. (Wednesday night). Not sure what time. I'm on a business trip and I can't control my schedule.

Check out this fountain

Don't worry... it's fake.

The next Smarter Every Day is about tattoos (keep that on the down low). I visited a local tattoo shop (Timepiece Tattoo in Huntsville, AL). Leah helped me learn all about tattoos. She has an internet famous macaroni and cheese tattoo. I think you'll like this video. A Lot I hope. And yes, mine is fake.

What day/time is best for Hangout?

I've varied the times of the online hangout/spreecast, and it's inevitable that people feel left out because the time I picked doesn't work for them. Here's your chance to influence the time. I'm in the Central time zone (same as Chicago). What day and time would work out best for you guys for an online hangout for the $5+ donors?

Mantis Shrimp InfoGIF

A pretty special unlisted video.

Hey guys, Thanks again for all your support. I really appreciate it. As you might know, I just got back from Australia. One of the main things I was doing over there is giving talks with Chris Hadfield, who recently commanded the ISS. He's awesome, but people tend to get wrapped up in the song he sang on the Space Station. I wanted people to think about the fact that THE MAN FLEW SPACESHIPS. I tried to do a very unique introduction for him... so I prepared for 8 months. I'd like to ask t...
