Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Gigagalaxy Zooms In On the Milky Way
Gigagalaxy Zoom has a very cool photo of the milky way galactic center. It's annotated so you can see where various famous nebula are and where the large and small Magellanic clouds are (they are nearby small galaxies that will collide with our own). You can also overlay the constellations onto the map.
