An RV flies off a cliff; and man, it's a hot one.

• Thanks to Marijn for sending over a very short and simple tutorial from The Map Reading Company: how to walk up hills without getting tired. This is charming! And the comments are full of two types of people: first, folks who are surprised at bring recommended, then watching, then enjoying a tutorial on how to walk; and second, experienced climbers and mountaineers going "yes, do this".
   
• Probably the greatest sponsored video I've ever seen: SuperFastMatt's "I Drove My RV off a Cliff". And he does. A little long in the setup, perhaps, but there are enough laugh-out-loud one-line jokes in there that it's worth it.
   
• A lovely video from the design rules company: they launched a Kickstarter project, "Metroboard", and they visited Shenzen for a week to see the factories where it's being made. This video is ten minutes long, and the narration is calm and gentle, but the whole thing feels like it's going at breakneck speed: there is so much involved, and so much craft being shown. Thanks to Sebastian for sending this over!
   

• "Man, it's a hot one": the oral history of Carlos Santana and Rob Thomas' 90s hit Smooth, including interviews with the performers, the writers, and the producers. (Strong language.)
   
• Following on from last week's video about Chisanbop: "The radical 1960s schools experiment that created a whole new alphabet -- and left thousands of children unable to spell".
   
• I'd not heard of the story of Robert Bogucki, the man who got lost in the Australian desert on purpose: a quarter-century later, he returned to pay his respects to the folks who helped find him. This article seems a little disjointed in places, but that's because, I think, the original story is a little disjointed.

And finally: somebody shot the Johnny Cash water tower "in a very sensitive area".

All the best,
