The Nerdfighters site recently reached the 90,000 milestone for registered accounts which is huge. Oddly the most recent 10,000 accounts were created within a year compared to the previous ten. I am pretty stoked that the site is getting bigger all the time, as the Green Bros’ following is getting bigger all the time. But then I got to thinking (which is rarely good news for anyone else I work with on the site :D ) there will likely be many people who are unsure about elements of our…

Google's new Earth Engine, powered by NASA's landsat satellites, gives a time lapse view of (pretty much) every land surface on earth over the last 25 years. The view is amazing, and inspiring, and at times terrifying.

It can be hard to understand the scale here, but…
