Here are my favorite videos, a new one each month!
April 2023
Here is the official interview of state-affiliated media BBC with Elon Musk. It's an enjoyable video, definitely recommended. But below is the bit the BBC conveniently did not include. Now that bit is hilarious.
March 2023
Just three days before Credit Suisse was handed over to UBS, the infamous "Inside Paradeplatz" reported that the Credit Suisse head of IT Joanna Hannaford was given 6 Million Swiss Francs as a welcome bonus for her introduction to the board of Credit Suisse. Probably Ms. Hannaford deserves that, because she knows IT like nobody else? Checking her linkedin reveals that she indeed studied computer science, not just at one but at two universities: Anglia Ruskin University and Staffordshire University. Both universites are not among the top UK universities, not even by a long shot. Anglia Ruskin is in Cambridge (one may say it's "the other university" in Cambridge). Apparently royalty goes there to prevent being challenged (by a tough academic curriculum or by annoying commoners?). With Credit Suisse going down, Swiss taxpayers now pay the bonuses of royalty? (The video is lots of fun by the way, especially if you're curious about Swiss German.)
February 2023
Just another episode in the fun and educational "Great Moments in Unintended Consequences" series.
January 2023
It's Davos time again!! By 2023, it seems pretty obvious that Davos is a textbook Orwellian organization. So why does the media talk about Davos? Why does nobody boycott the Davos sponsors? And why are so many scientists attending Davos? If Davos asks you to attend, just say no! (The video below is a classic exchange with the head Davos guy from the Netherlands.)
December 2022
Finishing the year with a popular music education video by Trash Theory.
November 2022
Dave Chappelle was low on my list for people risking to getting cancelled. But here we are. Where does this end? With Jon Stewart? (Here is Jon's excellent response to Dave's bit.)
October 2022
Flipping the Computational Thinking class, and as a result, we are producing tons of short videos. Here is the official Youtube channel. Below is a Halloween version of one of our videos. (And here is another one.)
September 2022
Björk is simply stunning.
August 2022
Alex G's new album is out. Some of the most excellent but understated songwriting we can have today.
July 2022
Tons of fun videos at Foil Arms and Hog.
June 2022
This video has aged well.
May 2022
My first tape on repeat, and my first concert: Depeche Mode. RIP, Fletch.
April 2022
Mr. Bean gets it.
March 2022
The new album by Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul is so much fun. Every track is a banger. The whole album with lyrics can be found here.
February 2022
The world would be a better place if no politician was allowed to stay in office for more than one term. It gets to their head, and as this video shows, so much more than just that. One of the best things in Switzerland is that the president is pretty much a random and unknown minister that changes every year. Switzerland should limit the term as minister to at most 7 years.
January 2022
B99, the show our whole family could agree on.
