I don't know the original source for this (let me know if you do), but this data visualization of the Apollo 11 landing site compared to a baseball field is pretty great. Click here to see enlarge image of this.

This and other photos from my life the past few weeks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3niD0joGz-M This is a great video and cover of Neil Young's "Philadelphia" by the Seattle band Grand Hallway. It should have more than 5k views on YouTube.

Nancy LeSage and Fleur Marks were strangers when their marriage announcements appeared side by side in The New York Times on Sunday, May 2, 1982.

This reads like something from the imagination of Nora Ephron.
