People want to see awesome stuff.

That's the main idea behind this blog, and the interpretation of a recent report on people's decisions to share New York Times articles with friends (via Rycharde Mann). So, without further ado, here is some awesomeness:

1) From absolute zero to the plank temperature...a nice interactive graphic showing where we fit in the scheme of temperatures.

2) A visible sonic boom, as a rocket passes by a sundog (the rainbow splotch at ~1:55 in the video)
