I had no idea Jimmy Kimmel was funny. This original sketch is almost ten minutes long, but you need to make sure you watch it until the very end.

From the official description:

This is a Pantless Knights tribute to our favorite entrepreneurs (who are all “new dorks”). It’s a spoof of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind,” from the guys behind Grasshopper.com (thank you!). We made it because there’s a new type of dork that is cooler than ever. Look at tech entrepreneurs, hipsters, Computer Science Barbie – they’re all super popular new dorks!

You’ll either find it funny or you just won’t get it.

Connected is a short film set in a desolate future. Unfortunately there isn’t an embedded version. On the official web site they have a very high quality quicktime version. The official description reads:

Set in the distant future, Connected is a story about survival and greed with a post apocalyptic wasteland as its backdrop. Survivors of an unknown disaster shuffle through a desolate landscape, as it quickly becomes clear that not everybody has the strength to survive.

It won’t be available forever, so make sure and watch this while it is still free.

Because there haven’t been enough infographics lately, here is another one.

If you haven’t seen OK Go’s new video, it is embedded below. OK Go is the band behind that famous treadmill music video for those of you who have forgotten. Rube Goldberg machines fascinate me. This is probably the most complex one I’ve ever seen.

While the video itself is pretty amazing, it’s even more incredible when you read this article about its making. Here’s the part I was wondering about:

The video was shot by a single Steadicam, but it took more than 60 takes, over the course of two days, to get it right. Many of those takes lasted about 30 seconds, Sadowsky said, getting no further than the spot in the video where the car tire rolls down a ramp.

You can also see a bunch of videos about the making of the video if reading isn’t your thing.

Awesome infographic about the upcoming Academy Awards.

Listening to Bill Gates give a lecture if usually fascinating and this one is no different. In this video he gives some thoughts on how people need to approach the issue of global warming. The actual talk is about 17 minutes with 12 minutes of Q&A with the audience.
