OK, I am a geek and I admit it - I love technology! Every so often something really catches my eye and sparks my interest. This is one of those times...
Microsoft's World Wide Telescope

Take Google Maps or Microsoft Live Maps, add a bunch of steroids and interfaces, then flip it around to point toward the heavens. Rob Scoble explains it much better than I. All those tax-payer dollars you paid for the Hubble telescope - have you really seen a return on that investment?
I am thinking I need to hook my laptop up to the 61" DLP to fully enjoy this in an immersive environment. We are tuly living in exciting times!
