Hello everyone. Didn’t expect to see myself here. I was so startled I made an account.<p>Ah… you’ll probably enjoy my new book about maths mistakes. Check if your favourite programming error is in there!<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wwwh.umble-pi.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;wwwh.umble-pi.com</a>

Given we&#x27;ve got Matt Parker and Excel on the front page at the same time, it feels like I have to recommend this video of both:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=UBX2QQHlQ_I" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=UBX2QQHlQ_I</a>

Speaking of which, this is my favorites skits from Matt&#x27;s Youtube channel <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;Bcr9-93wXng" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;Bcr9-93wXng</a> (Stand-up comedy about Equations That Correspond to Vortex Motions (aka &quot;smoke rings”).).

He does the best calculator unboxing videos. Very detailed and accurate: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLt5AfwLFPxWKAINNfxIdYmFVKuk_F_cQq" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLt5AfwLFPxWKAINNfxIdY...</a>

I do enjoy his geeky humour, and the rest of the Festival of Spoken nerd&#x27;s (@fotsn), and actually went to see him and others just a couple of weeks ago at @AEOUD.<p>It was also the day before he posted <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=pSSsZLTMDq0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=pSSsZLTMDq0</a> which explains how I was the &#x27;Thirty-seventh&#x27; commentator - though you&#x27;ll have to sort by newest comments and go down to at least the first couple of hundred comments to get that joke :)

If you like nerd humor, you&#x27;ll also like Standup Economist (standupeconomist.com)

I&#x27;m not into math at all, stumbled upon his stuff a year ago, ended up marathoning his entire Youtube channel. Great presenter and entertainer.
