I recently discovered on the Web an extremely talented illustrator by the name of Gavin Aung Than. This guy is insanely good! I really like his Zen Pencils site, where he illustrates in comic book style some of the most famous quotes in history. My personal favorite is this one by Neil deGrasse Tyson.
During my third year of law school, I was Editor-in-Chief of our environmental law journal. That was my first exposure to the use of "Lorem Ipsum", which is a publishing technique that uses nonsensical Latin text as a placeholder while designing a page layout. Since similar text is used in Web development, there are apps and sites that will generate the text for developers (see, e.g., Lipsum). Now some creative space enthusiasts have created a text generator with a space theme: Space Ipsum. As a fellow space geek, I have to love the site. However, as an editor, I think it defeats the purpose of the Lorem Ipsum technique, because I catch myself reading the text rather than assessing the page layout. Oh, well. I guess it's the price we pay for following our passions!
I love infographics, especially when they relate to one of my passions!

On April 19, 2012, NASA and the Smithsonian conducted an unusual exchange: two retired Space Shuttles changed ownership. On the runway outside the Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles Airport, the two vehicles were placed nose-to-nose for a ceremony marking the occasion.
