  • The title of this video should change with the times. But nothing lasts forever: here's the story of how I made it work, why it used to be easier to make that work, and how it all ties in to the White Cliffs of Dover and the end of the universe.

    This is the most profoundly insightful video I have ever seen on UA-cam. Equally deep and philosophical as well as inspirational. I always wondered what happened to the old, "fun" internet of my teenage years. Guess I found the answer. Quite depressing really. Thank you for making this Tom, it's my new favorite video from now on.
