One year ago today, we launched this humble video-picking endeavor, and the result: Over 250 videos shared, great guest editors including Veronica Belmont, Zadi Diaz and Brady Forrest, and a fantastic following on Tumblr.

In short: Here’s looking forward to at least another year of Here’s Some Awesome, and huge thanks to everyone who’s helped make it happen, readers and editors alike! It’s hard to put into words how you make us feel, so Tony! Toni! Toné! will have to speak for us.

I tried to find something today that wasn’t Jimmy Kimmel’s annual post-Oscar mega-celeb sketch comedy piece, especially since (at NINE MINUTES) Movie the Movie is awfully bloated and rambling. But some of the individual comedy bits are so amazingly random that I can’t help but post this. The bit with the centaur alone — GENIUS.

I’m awestruck. I’ve never seen anything like this aerial view of simple snow circles. Partly because in my life it’s rare to see blankets of untouched snow that can be trampled down into such breathtaking patterns. But mostly because an art project like this takes vision and planning and only lasts as long as the snow or until too make people want to see slowly ruining the piece with their own tracks.

Mario Bothers vs Wright Brothers

I stumbled across this web series that I think is #Awesome. The concept involves historical figures (both alive, dead, and fictional) throwing to down in a well produced, low-blow rap battle.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m over the whole rap comedy=viral video thing, but the interactive element of this series wins me over. ERB (as the series creators abbreviate it) encourages fans to submit ideas on who should battle and vote on who wins. Speaking of creators, this series is a side project of popular YouTubers NicePeter and EpicLloyd. And to up the viewership ante, the most recent episode features RhettandLink as the Wright brothers.
