The Idea Log | Idea Channel | PBS Digital Studios

Yule love this one!

Why ins't this video an hour or more of that based Nic Cage picture?

+1 for the bottle of Aardvark, which this channel turned me on to.

It sounds like a fairly intense fire. If you open it in 100 or so tabs it even starts to feel a little warm.

It's snowing in your house. I'm concerned.

Am I really doing this?

ASMR

.... It looks like Dave McKean's interpretation of a yule log.  I approve.

Somehow, someway, this reminds of nyan cats flying through space.
So beautiful, so... timeless.

So if I add a "straw man argument" to this, will we see a fire?

Hmm... I didn't know light bulbs made crackling noises! Idea Channel teaches me something new each episode! :D

Who else wants to make one of these IRL? Seems like it'd be pretty simple. :-)

The comments on here are fantastic. A bit of fun reading to go with my electric/on-fire yule log.

Is that some kind of "personal massager" on the left side of the mantle?

Why does it still sound like a fire? Shouldn't it sound like charging capacitors or something? The hum of electronics, maybe? Perhaps an electronic track. Don't you know a guy who makes electronic music? That pod caster guy... What's his name? ;)

Genious.

Inanity in nine light-bulbs.

Very soothing.

This is just the greatest, thank you PBS Idea Channel 

Like if your watching this on Christmas.

Good for reading!

wow i didn't know that light blobs crackle

That framed picture of Mike-olas Cage on the right though, it's absolutely beautiful.

I hope this wasn't the playlist thing you said you were working on. If it is though, well played, I must say.

i actually streamed the video to the TV during christmas!

FINALLY! Something which inspires me to set up my Chromecast! 

The C-9 flickering light bulbs I used to have on my Christmas tree would make individual pinging noises as they flickered on and off. I miss that sound now that I have LED Christmas lights.

What? That's not a Log! I'm honestly disapointed

This is truly a Yuletide treasure.

Ok but seriously, are you guys actually expecting people to yule this?

Here's an idea: It's better to be interesting than to be happy.

This is an Ideal Yule Log!

Have a holly, hipster Christmas /
It's the best time time of the year /
I don't know, if Nick Cage will show /
But have some PBR beer /

asmr all up in this

I'll suscribe... I really like it ^^

Thanks for the play list! It's great for us Floridians... it's too hot for a fire this week T^T

Why is the Game Boy missing in the end? Did you burn it? You monster! Please clarify in the next episode!

I was a little sad not to find a moment when one bulb burnt out and a new one was added.

l actually like this. Its pretty calming.

Yes just yes!

i just want to know why am i still watching this? its been over 30 min and im still watching. .....

Tingle attack ahhhhhh!

the real question is where did you get the audio for this? 

ASMR, anyone?

Oh, I love the sound of it. I just LOVE IT. It's like listening to waves at the beach. Any chance to get it to soundcloud/some downloadable option without video?

Just sat here and watched the whole thing. Blew my mind. 

I geddit, it's a pun on "ideologue"
