Improbable Research has a fantastic primer on this history of Murphy's Law, were it came from, and why rocket sleds are cool. (Note that you can also buy the book "A history of Murphy's Law" that discusses this in more detail.)

Murphy's Law - A History
Improbable Research has a fantastic primer on this history of Murphy's Law, were it came from, and why rocket sleds are cool. (Note that you can also buy the book "A history of Murphy's Law" that discusses this in more detail.)
Cool Weather Maps!
Couple of cool new ways to see what the weather is.Wind Map: Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg over at hint.fm came up with a very cool way to present how the wind is flowing over the US.
Weatherspark: James Diebel and Jacob Norda have put together a fantastic (the best I have ever seen) weather site. It allows you to view combinations of graphs to better understand the data that comes out of NOAA and all the other online weather services.
Thanks to Robert Krulwich for pointing out NASA's world wind animation video (unfortunately, it's just a video, and not an interactive page. )
