The amazing talent one finds passed around online. How could you calculate how long this piece took to produce?

A Prezi presentation presents an information map, visually spinning through the pieces and revealing the whole. It's a visual and mental treat! Here's one I found on their website:

Wikileaks --- the most important news service you probably don't know about

Wikileaks raises the critical question about where the future of journalism is going as it all migrates online. Will we follow the "freedom of press" model that is so vital to American democracy, or will the Chinese model of allowing governments and powerful entities to suppress and censor news rule Internet information sites?

Google Advertises It's Goal of Taking Over Your Life

Yes, they seem to be benevolent, but was Big Brother similarly motivated while He was growing up and building his world?

Frontline's "Digital Nation"

An excellent documentary, broken in 8-10 minute pieces (so I can teach with it) that tries to "pause" and look around at how the human experience is changing and evolving (or devolving?) as our lives become digital.

Frontline comes through again. Watch the whole program online. Fan them.

Amazing photos from Mars are released...is anyone watching?

A bouncing boulder comes to a stop...on mars!

Gully channels show evidence of water activity.

I remember how the whole world stopped and held its breath when the first men stepped out onto the lunar surface. It seems surreal that the headline for ice on Mars came and went and these other-worldly photos are being missed.
