NASA’s 3D Tour of Every Known Galaxy
While this awesome, it doesn’t compare with the total lunar eclipse this Monday night. The entire Western Hemisphere will be treated to 72 minutes of the Wrath of God for the United States repealing DADT.

Iconic tech Prototypes
Neat gallery over at Wired showing prototypes of some the most famous innovations of our time. While the Super Soaker might not be a great innovation, it is a great poolside torture device and its prototype is one massive dose of awesome.

Make your own Death Map!!!!
OK, not actually a Death Map, but you can make your own map showing the movement and mutation of diseases throughout the world. While perusing their site, just remember to feel guilty for having fun at the misery of the millions infected by these diseases. Now, go at it.

Michael Specter from the TED lecture series.
A great lecture from Michael Specter about the danger of denying science in the face of overwhelming evidence. He is especially moving when talking about the plight of Africa. High-Tech Colonialism isn’t a term I had heard before but our insistence against genetically modified foods and vaccination really is a new form of colonialism.
When you start down the road where belief in magic replaces the evidence of science, you in end up in a place you don’t want to be.
