Vsauce.

Today on my subway ride into work, I earned the very final star I needed in Angry Birds. But I know what you're thinking. "Michael, I don't care. I want things I can do online now, gosh!" DONG.

Let's begin with Leanback. That's right, there's a brand new episode of Vsauce Leanback out today. It's a television-length playlist full of - this week - optical illusions. You can start it by clicking the link at the very top of this video's description.

'Idotidot2' pointed me to How Many Of Me, where you can type in your name and find out how many people in the US have your same name. Now, if you wanna play two games at once, be like 'tjockislol' and become Mario until you press the spacebar and begin Tetris to strategically help Mario.

Want more pep? Well, be like 'DEEMEMH' and use GoBarbra.com to make Duck Sauce's song about whatever you want. For instance: "I'm watching DONG." Too fast? Slow down with 'Erinbunny1's' reminder of this oldie in B-flat. Every embedded video is in the same key, so you can pick and choose which ones to bring in and when.

'Yorkerbird434' turns up the violence with a Whack Rebecca Black game built like YouTube. Throw her for points and if you kinda feel bad or weird, don't work. 'MochaholicPuppy' thinks you're a licensed toy and animal psychologist. This site lets you evaluate toys and even administer drugs.

Last week I showed off a game that lets you compose music with dots and 'sofusser' created an entire Vsauce symphony. 'Sofusser' also made some pretty sweet designs on World of Text, so check them out. Last week I also talked about some work from Mister Doob.

'Gaigaigoo' said whoa, whoa, whoa, there's more Stevens. And there is. Mr. Doob has made a lot of awesome things, like this page you can drag images into right from your computer and then watch them warp and twist. Click to cause a whole new transformation. He also built a sweet browser-based fullscreen cloud simulator you can fly through by moving your cursor around.

But what your browser really needs is balls and he brought those too. This site of his gives you balls you can pick up and throw, but you can also grab the actual browser window and give it a shake.

I leave you with something very special. This link will take you to a video where you can listen to what's known as the IMG montage music in its entirety. You now have the power to make anything in your life an instant IMG montage.

Of course, what you really want to do is watch today's new episode of Vsauce Leanback all about optical illusions sourced from all over YouTube. It's a really cool collection and I'm having a lot of fun making them, so check it out.

And as always, thanks for watching.
