Happy Belated Birthday to Hank

In which hundreds of nerdfighters wish Hank a Happy Birthday by showing him what awesome is. Thanks to everyone for your submissions (and I'm sorry for the stuff I didn't use; it's only because my imovie couldn't import a lot of your pictures and clips).

Eye-Opening Books

What books opened your eyes to new ways of thinking? What books subverted your dominant paradigm? What books helped shape you into who you are (still becoming) today?

Books rock our world, but some more than others. Some wake us up. Some show us things we never would have seen on our own. Some change our lives.
