1. Star Trek (2009) "Bad Transcript -- if you saw the recent Star Trek movie, I think you'll find this very funny.
2. 100 incredibly inspiring blog posts for educators -- admittedly aimed at a smaller portion of my audience, but there are some wonderful gems on this list.
3. Neil Gaiman reads The Graveyard Book (video) -- Neil Gaiman reads the entire Graveyard Book, one chapter at a time, unabridged. I want this man's talent. A lot.
4. Are you ingredients looking for a recipe? -- a really clever take on career planning, when all you can think is "I'll never be able to get all my interests into one job."
5. The 14,600 hours to virtuosity -- the pros and cons of being a highly specialized expert. On the one hand, people pay you $5,000 for a 90-minute performance. On the other, you have no life.
6. Voynich Manuscript (comic) -- a not-quite-recent xkcd comic that I found quite clever.
7. Yann Arthus Bertrand captures fragile earth in wide-angle (TED talk video) -- a really beautiful TED video by the guy who recently released the movie Home. I especially like the part where he debuts "6 billion others."
