Blur - Out of Time
I was absolutely obsessed with this song for a while. I think it was 2009 or 2010 or 2011. I would just play it over and over and would never get tired of hearing it. But I don't think I ever posted it here. It seems appropriate again.
The semi-weird thing is: I don't much like any other Blur song. For some reason this one just really hits me in a completely singular way.

Film and the Moon Landing
Computer Graphics and the Moon Landing
I found this interesting.
As I understand it, graphics card manufacturer NVidia wanted to show off their new graphics rendering so they simulated, to the finest detail, the conditions of the moon landing in order to determine whether the official photos are suspicious.
Mythbusters did a smaller/cheaper version of this experiment and you can find that here.
