1. OK Go’s music video for “This Too Shall Pass”, off of their new album Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, has gone viral. And with good reason: the elaborate Rube Goldberg machine shown off is yet another example of the band’s breathtaking creative video format.

  3. VidCon, the world’s first ever community-based online video conference, is happening. This summer, from July 9th to July 11th, all of the best and most successful of the new crop of social video makers will be gathering together in Los Angeles to discuss web videos, from building businesses, to forming communities from sites like Vimeo and YouTube. This video from Hank Green, one of the organizers of VidCon, explains the conference clearly.

  4. New Fractal by George Toledo:

    This is an example of a new type of fractal concept using one of a great variety of settings that it’s capable of producing.

  5. Procrastination by John Kelly

  6. New requirement for my love: Being able to list every Harry Potter creature in alphabetic order. Get to it, ladies.

  7. Insert Coin is an interesting animated short film by vurup.

  8. Having a boring Thursday? Here’s some old ladies reenacting classic viral videos.

  9. Party in the USA in Sign Language

    I could say something like “What’s the sign for total garbage?” But, honestly, this sign-language version made the song even better for me.

  10. Some people should never be allowed to have a video camera, and some should never be allowed to have a mic. Nick Dreamer is a rare example of someone who should never have both. Urlesque:

    “With his fierce fauxstache, canary yellow bandana and operatic soprano timbre somehow blasting songs by the like of Lady GaGa further into deep space weirdness, we couldn’t help but fall in love.”

    Due to Nick not allowing his videos to be embedded, you can’t watch the video here. Click here for his YouTube channel.

  11. Spike Jonze, director of Where The Wild Things Are, and Kanye West, the “voice of this generation of this decade” and total douchebag, made a short film, entitled “We Were Once A Fairytale”.

    First one to figure out what the hell is going on in wins.

  12. Have you ever thought “Gee, I wonder if there’s a YouTube video of every single Kramer entrance from Seinfeld, in chronological order?”

    Me neither, but the Internet has done so. It’s actually pretty hypnotic, watching the slide and twitch being perfected throughout the years.

  13. Julia Nunes and Jake and Amir, singing together.

    I apologize in advance for exploding your Internets with awesome.

  14. Rian Johnson, director of The Brothers Bloom:

    This is a very crude animatic of the opening childhood sequence from The Brothers Bloom that I created early in the pre-production process. As will be immediately and humiliatingly evident, I did all the voices myself. The artwork consists of storyboards by the very talented Daniele Auber, and it was all put together on my laptop in Final Cut Pro.

  15. Sarah Silverman brings forward a new idea to end world hunger: sell the Vatican.
