That stream will be going on for the next two weeks, but here's a helpful schedule that tells when there's interesting stuff going on to watch:

Looks like we'll be mooching rides off of the Russians for much of this decade at the least. I wonder who really won the Space Race in the end. A
Also, the Chinese are going to be launching their next men up pretty soon and there's talks of planning their own space station.
That's definitely what concerns me. Not the retirement of the shuttles -- they are old and have done their job and 30 years of service is a long time -- but that there is no solid replacement in sight. The USA no longer has manned space flight capability for the decade while China and Russia do.
i just read that justin.tv has an app you can install on your phone that streams all recorded video automatically to the internet. more people should use this in the future to prevent physical destruction of footage.
I think the biggest issue here is cops waving guns directly at bystanders and unlawfully confiscating and destroying evidence. (there's nothing illegal about filming in a public place).
X-Men: First Class = best X-Men flick since X-2.
- loved the interweaving of history: cold war cuban missile crisis + X-men
- Xavier and Erik were well-cast. Fassbender for Bond!
- Rose Byrne in lingerie.
This guy's trying to secure funding to produce a documentary about competitive Starcraft 2; they're almost there...

This is a wonderful collection of clips taken from the last mission of space shuttle endeavour which landed safely back on Earth yesterday. I especially enjoyed the docking/undocking portions.
