To the Moon, Our Journeys to Luna (and Back)
Did you know that Men have attempted over 100 Missions to the Moon to date? Do you know who launched the most missions? What Earth Creature was the first to reach the Moon? With a new emphasis on Lunar Exploration - it's a good idea to let our History on the Moon be our Teacher
Mars Stereo Imagery
Stereo Images from Mars presented as space-for-time animations, (either slow or fast). Images from Pathfinder in 1997 and (soon) from MERs Spirit and Opportunity in 2004.
The Cat in the (Officially Licensed) Hat
Universal Studios and Dr. Suess go hog-wild with Merchandising and Marketing Tie-ins for their 2003 movie. I was able to enumerate over 350 separate items for sale as officially licensed merchandise, from a PDA to Thong Underwear to the Movie Novelization. How much Cat is too much Cat?

Amazon.com's catalog - with none of the clutter.

A lightweight interface to the majority of Amazon.com's catalog for the US - plus a customer-based "Your List" tool that allows you to store and then act on individual items or items as a group - (meaning you can buy, add-to-wishlist, print out a list, and more).

MegaPenny Project
Have you ever wondered what a billion pennies would look like?

An award-winning experiment in visualizing huge numbers. People regularly talk about millions of miles, billions of bytes, or trillions of dollars, yet it's still hard to grasp just how much a "billion" really is.
