A customized book for your child. Not just the name, but favorite color, hair and skin color too for the main character. Pretty awesome. (I had a series of books that incorporated my name growing up. They made me feel super special and I cherished them lots.)

Designers vs Coding

Nick Risinger’s stellar sphere
He "trekked more than 60,000 miles around theUS and South Africa to create the largest-ever true-color image of the stellar sphere. The final result is an interactive, zoomable sky map showing the full Milky Way and the stars, planets, galaxies and nebulae around it." Not even kind of, but totally amazing when you click in and pan around. / via Coudal
