Let me be among the first welcoming our new 8-legged overlords.
This is amazing. I thought it was fraud when I heard about it, but it's been potentially confirmed as accurate. Go figure.

Mind = Blown
This is not CGI. It's not fabricated. It's not 'enhanced'... or so they say at least.
The last space fly-by was fascinating, but this one is more... much more. The Northern Lights / Aurora Borealis is amazing from earth; from space, it's phenomenal. Watch, and be amazed.

Google Takeout
Being a big proponent of Google's online services, a key component that has been missing is the ability to back up data off line. Enter Google Takeout.

This is Why I Want(ed) to be an Astronaut
This gorgeous fly-by needs no introduction.
NASA posted a time lapse fly by from the International Space Station (ISS), and the wonders of the internet (and too much time on their hands) stitched it together. The lightning and storms are awesome.

"Half a Penny on the Dollar"
What does $0.005 of every US taxed dollar get you? NASA. Builder of dreams.
As a big fan of Neil deGrasse Tyson, this talk about NASA and how the funding is about to be essentially extinct is one of the many financial problems the US is facing now, and, in my opinion, in danger of falling from the world's super power to an also-ran. Watch and think about what NASA has meant, and what it could mean to the future of us as a species.
