Pixels Go Mad - The Celebration Of Pixel Art
via Smashing Magazine by Vitaly Friedman & Sven Lennartz on May 05, 2008

The World's Largest Supercomputing Cloud
via Jonathan Schwartz's Blog by Jonathan Schwartz on March 03, 2008
I had no idea the Hubble telescope could see only 12 billion years into the past.

But it can "only" see 12 billion years into the past - and...

via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on January 31, 2008
One advantage of putting all my photos into the public domain? People are now uploading them to Wikipedia. Like this entry for AT&T’s CEO. All my photos are in the public domain now. You can use them without even attributing them, or giving me credit (although I do appreciate those of you who give credit for my work). Why do I do that? Because sharing my work with the world has brought me back...
