Earth, Our Home, Is Just Freaking Cool Okay, so, I could go into the science of this, or the awesome level of technological progress it takes to even make this possible, but, really, the thing that grabs me about Earth Nullschool, is it is just cool. Visit the site, and there’s the whole planet in…
LIVE views of Earth from space are now available to anyone with an internet connection. NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) bring us live views of Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) daily, courtesy of the High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) Project.

In all honesty, I have high hopes for the upcoming holiday programming on Syfy. The channel has been regaining viewership with programs like Haven and 12 Monkeys and now the upcoming Childhood’s End and The Expanse which both begin on December 14th. The premiere of Expanse is currently available online at Syfy’s site here or over on…
You can tell a lot about a book by its first chapter. That’s because writers often use it for expressly that purpose. They have to sum up the tone, the characters, and the world, usually with only about twenty pages to work with. It’s no small feat, and that’s why I am so excited about…
