Cool Crap of the Week: WikiSky

Where to find it: WikiSky 

While this one is primarily for stargazers, nearly anyone can find it both useful and fun.  WikiSky is a star map of sorts, but with a Google Maps-like twist: you can click and drag the map, and choose to show or hide layers including constellation drawings.  You can also move the sky to show what is directly above you at that moment, with a single click.  Many stars can be moused over to get in-depth details.  The best part?  It’s all on the Web, so you don’t need to download a thing.

Delayed again

While I don’t anticipate this being a regular occurrence, I do have to postpone the weekly post again.  A project at Big Feet Media is in full-blown late-stage development and I need to focus on it.  However, see above for the new weekly feature to go along with the Weekly Ramblings: Cool Crap of the Week!

Sorry, and thanks for sticking with me through the delays.
