I think you can have all that wonder and still have faith in something greater than oneself.

Definite to-read for me. Someday.

A version of early church history, written in the style of fandom conventions.

Cool color visualization of the content of famous books.

Neat demo reel, although pretty sure this would have to be 16-bit... Gameboy Color look, maybe? (I get that 8-bit is the technically inaccurate name for the aesthetic.)

An example of why public gov't funded wifi can be of huge importance.

I think the general fear of tech in the classroom is misplaced, but it does matter that development still includes non-tech.

This is something I've wondered as well - how did none of these companies have a spine?

It's like those infamous British moths. I remember doing a report on snowshoe hares in 3rd grade, poor little guys.

Interesting point regarding where a 64-bit chip might be useful: an Apple TV-like console.

Jellyfish are better adapted to the world we've created.

Some good points, but I don't think people my age are interested in older liberals, even if they are as awesome as Warren is.

Neat idea. I wonder how much the training actually helps?

nuqneq?

Still weird to me that Chipotle is allowed to talk about this, as a subbrand of McDonald's.

Awesome. Amusing that it took so long to be certain, in part because the boundary doesn't look like we thought it would.

Tragic that we have to ask this: "Why are we producing so many people who just seem to hate women?" I also had no idea Weev was so awful. I don't think he's guilty of the crime he's in jail for, but probably not a good guy to rally around for internet freedom.

Not surprising that droughts cause conflict; more surprising that they can find a good link to overall climate.

Good acknowledgement of how crazy we've gotten in our "post 9/11" world.

A good overview of the 6 options in the survey. I still prefer 1 and 3, though I appreciate some of the more non-traditional ones.

Crazy shipping for iPhone releases. 450,000 on a single 777.

Tyson's personal account as a resident of Lower Manhattan.

Aw, previous model :o(

Pretty cool, even if it really only works with things that have a primary axis.

He got a very different lesson from Star Trek than I did... I love tech, but Trek has a lot about the rule of law and the rights of citizens (and even who is a citizen). Alexander seems to have missed that amid his obsession.

Not surprising, but sad.

It smacks heavily of the school of thought bemoaning the loss of "real" culture, but it makes some good points about cultural diffusion (thanks Mr. Sovern) and the way we're finding our own microcultures.

The asbestos mine in Australia was new to me. Pretty crazy what we used to do (and in some cases still do) in the name of industry.

Some interesting ideas here that could be fleshed out.

I'm more and more of the opinion that Nintendo needs to make iOS ports, and provide a nice controller accessory. They've lost the hardware space, for the most part.
