Walk The Fire: a shared-world SF anthology series - An interesting Kickstarter.
Willie Nelson's Audition Tape for "The Hobbit" - Hahahahah.
The ultimate cancer taboo: Sometimes it kills you - We keep talking about battles, warriors, miracles and hope. Meanwhile, those with metastatic cancers are ignored. That would be me.
In Germany, a U.S. beer invasion - This seems improbable.
The World’s Largest Rubber Duck Arrives in Hong Kong - Wow! Hahah. (Via threeoutside.)
The Data Made Me Do It - The next frontier for big data is the individual.
5 Ways to Make Google Glass Better - Number 6, make it possible to use them with prescription lenses.
High-tech camera acts like a bug's eye
Space Ape Parody Shows Why Aquatic Ape Theory Is All Wet - (Via David Goldman.)
Religious Knowledge Quiz - You answered 14 out of 15 questions correctly for a score of 93%. Which puts me in the 99% percentile. Not bad for an atheist. I also note that when this survey was done with the general public on an outbound basis, atheists came in second only to Jews in their knowledge, well ahead of a number of different identified Christian groups, though the Mormons were a close third. This is parallel to the science quiz I recently posted. (I missed the First Great Awakening question.)
Man shot and killed at Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport, authorities say - Thank god for the NRA and the Republican party, or the shooter wouldn't have had the right to exercise his theoretical defense of essential liberties in such a fashion. Where would we be as a society without our guns?
Even Counting Votes too Scientific for North Carolina - Typical conservatives. They cannot win on their ideas, so they cheat. Egregiously, in this case. (Via corwynofamber.)
QotD?: Would you go to the moon if you could?
