1. What's in Spock's scanner? (4-minute video) -- Original Trek meets Facebook. An exceptionally well edited spoof, and hilarious.

2. 15 ways to save money on groceries -- just an interesting collection of tips.

3. Neil Gaiman on copyright privacy and the Web (4-minute video) -- for everyone in the publishing industry who says that piracy hurts sales, Neil's got some words for you.

4. The Saga of Bjorn (7-minute video) -- a old Norse soldier tries to find a valiant death in battle so that he might go to Valhalla in the afterlife, only to be thwarted again and again. Hilarious!

5. RSA Animate: language as a window into human nature (11-minute video) -- animation set to a talk by Steven Pinker. I'm a huge fan of RSA Animate, and always find them super-interesting.

6. This is what shooting at 2,565 frames per second looks like (4-minute video) -- a guy playing around on his super-high-speed camera. Fascinating and fun!

7. Pinky and the Brain scene (2-minute video) -- a scene from the old animated show. As one commenter put it, "This is what happens when voice actors upset the script writer."
