Good morning, Hank. It's Tuesday. Yesterday, I was trying to remember what your 1990s website about Mars was called, so I had to scroll past the Google AI response that was completely wrong and eventually learned from Wikipedia that it was called Hank Green's Mars Exploration Page.

Anyway, then I started to think, how many things has Hank created or co-created? And it turns out, well, this is the A to Z of Hank Green.

A is for An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, Hank's first novel and an instant number one New York Times bestseller about an art student who late one night discovers a statue that might just be alive.

B is for A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor, the wonderful and thrilling sequel to An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, although it occurs to me it could have been for Bizarre Beasts, a YouTube channel Complexly produces about unusual organisms.

C could be for Crash Course or Complexly, but let's make it for Hank's most profound contribution to our culture, Crabulus. Crabulus is a social media platform that can only be joined during the Project for Awesome and that provides you with periodic photos or illustrations of crabs. And yes, it's real.

D is for Dear Hank and John, a weekly podcast that has been dispensing advice as well as the news from Mars and AFC Wimbledon for over 10 years now.

E is for Edward Spoon Hands, which was, and to a lesser extent, still is, Hank Green's Tumblr. I would say Hank still pops up as Edward Spoon Hands, but he's not on Tumblr nearly as much as I am. Then again, no healthy person is.

F is for Focus Friend. The Google Play Store's 2025 app of the year was co-created by none other than vertical video sensation Hank Green. It's an app that helps you use your other apps less so that a little bean inside your phone can focus on knitting socks.

G: Good Store. For several years now, this Hank Green invention has been donating millions of dollars every year to charity by selling socks and coffee and other stuff. It's kind of like Newman's Own, but for household cleaning products.

H: hankschannel, a wildly popular YouTube channel that somehow Hank is able to update frequently because he is not adequately consumed by Vlogbrothers and his other social video responsibilities.

I is for ihatei4.com. One of Hank's first viral sensations, like, the local news came to our house to cover ihatei4.com, which was a website Hank used to rail against car culture, especially in central Florida where I4 is a notoriously terrible interstate.

J is for Journey to the Microcosmos, a YouTube show Hank hosted that covered the vast life of microscopic organisms.

K? How about Koidu Government Hospital, where Hank has helped fund the Maternal Center of Excellence, which triples the number of maternal beds available in the region and also gives Sierra Leone its first-ever NICU.

L is, of course, for The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, which won Hank his Emmy. And yes, Hank has an Emmy. This was a YouTube-based adaptation of Pride and Prejudice that became wildly popular about 13 or 14 years ago, and it was just- it was deeply enjoyable. It deserved its Emmy.

M is for music. Hank Green, with his band The Perfect Strangers, is literally a Billboard-charting artist. He has released three albums of what might be called nerd rock, and they are all phenomenal.

N is for Nerdfighteria, of course, the made-of-awesome community that grew up around this very YouTube channel.

O is for Origin of Everything, a PBS show that Hank helped produce.

And P is for Pissing Out Cancer, Hank's hit stand-up comedy special that debuted on Dropout.tv.

By the way, Hank, you becoming a stand-up comedian after chemotherapy is both the least likely and the most Hank thing I can imagine.

Q is for QI, Hank's favorite TV show, which he recently found a way to be a guest on.

R is for Read It First, one of Hank Green's many, many, many abandoned projects over the years. Read It First was a newsletter where you could learn about new movies that were based on books and then commit to read it first. The idea was that it was going to fund itself through affiliate sales, but of course that never worked because most of Hank Green's million-dollar ideas are, in fact, single-digit-dollar ideas.

S? Well, shout out to Study Hall, the YouTube-videos-to-college-credit path that Hank helped build with Complexly and Arizona State University. But I think I'll give S to Subbable, a crowdfunding platform that launched about the same time as Patreon and was quite similar to Patreon. So similar, in fact, that it ended up being acquired by Patreon.

T is for Titansgrave, a wildly popular RPG show hosted by Wil Wheaton and co-starring, you guessed it, internet sensation Hank Green.

U is for URLatron, another of Hank Green's less successful ventures. It was sort of like Linktree before anyone needed a Linktree. It wasn't actually a bad idea; it was just kind of ahead of its time.

V is for VidCon, a somewhat more successful Hank Green enterprise. This celebration of online creators grew from a hotel basement to eventually become one of the largest conferences in the United States. It still exists today, although Hank and I haven't owned it since before the pandemic.

W is for We're Here, the Nerdfighteria newsletter that Hank helped found a couple years ago. I love We're Here every week in my inbox. It reminds me of old-school Nerdfighteria.

You probably think I can't do an X, but what about X, X.com/HankGreen, where Hank Green has been updating you on his life since 2008 and where he still sometimes posts and visits even though he knows it is bad for him personally and also for the social order.

Y is for YouTube. I realize I haven't even mentioned half of the shows that Hank has helped produce, from PBS Eons to Animal Wonders to Brain Scoop to Mental Floss.

At last, we arrive at Z. And get this, Hank: as far as I can tell, you have never created something that started with a Z. You've never made a Zen meditation retreat or a Zootopia film or a zoological society. You have every other letter covered. You even have numbers covered with 2D glasses that render three-dimensional movies in a crisp two dimensions, which you invented 15 years ago. But you do not have a Z. In short, Hank, your next project better start with a dang Z. And if I know you, it will, and it will be soon.

Hank, I'll see you on Friday.
