If you use Firefox, you should use this, plain and simple, best extension ever created. Basically allows you to do things quickly and easily by typing them in English. Too amazing for words, just watch, and try it out.

I would have killed to have something like this in elementary school. I am completely blown away at how quickly they are able to continue to add more and more content.

Included in the new version is underwater and ocean tours, going back in time!, and many more incredible additions. You are crazy if you don’t check out the newest update.

Definitely check out Cousteau Ocean World!

And just to continue with the theme of Google being awesome, STOP MOTION! Google Japan’s Chrome Design animation, death to useless icons!

(Make sure to check it out in HD!)

Oh and don’t forget about Mars:

This is one of the most useful things I have found when it comes to quickly learning the meaning of characters and words.

Moji is a Firefox Add-On that gives you a sidebar that allows you to easily highlight an individual character or word, then look it up right in your browser. It gives you all the information you should need including index pages to any other book or flashcards you may already be using.

Highly recommended. I will try to post some other things I have come across in the future, I have a pretty extensive list of bookmarks and apps that are very useful.

Interesting and mind boggling stuff. But in video format so it is ok!

I love this sort of thing. Entertaining and impossibly possible. Neil DeGrasse Tyson (author of Death by Black Hole and Other Cosmic Quandaries) explains what it would be like (or wouldn’t be) to die in black hole. You will never hear so many people laughing about a method of death and doom.

I don’t want to be a spaghetti!

i love wikipedia more than you do:

Wikipedia – List of Animated Feature Films

also check the bottom of the list for more categories, and hey if you know one that isn’t on the list, or is in red, add to it, that is how wikipedia works, or how it should work.

Brian Cox – BBC Horizon- Do You Know What Time It Is?

find it, watch it…

Horizon is one of my favorite series I have ever seen, not only is the content interesting, the people involved and the quality of the actual films themselves are phenomenal, good cinematography, editing, music, people.

good stuff.
