Awesome Video & Cause: We Stopped Dreaming - Episode 2 (A New Perspective)

We already posted part one of this series but I could listen to Neil Degrasse Tyson talk all day. This video is the continuation of his speech on importance of NASA's Space Exploration program. If you agree with Neil, please visit Penny4NASA.org by clicking here and either sign the petition to raise NASA's budget to 1% of US budget or donate.

While we're on the topic, here's another great video that would not have been made if it weren't for the dreams that NASA provides.

Awesome Ad: Chrysler - halftime in america

There's a lot of talk about this sounding like Reagan's "It's morning in America", Eastwood opposing automotive bailouts and this being a subtle Obama campaign ad. Regardless of your political views, this is a great spot.

Awesome Hangout: Obama x Google+ & YouTube

Since his first campaign, Obama's made great use of social media and technology. That trend continued today with his hangout on Google+. Regardless of your political views, being in a live video chat with the President of the United States or watching it stream live is pretty awesome.

Awesome Movement for Freedom: Egypt stands up

Technology and social media provided the spark needed to start a revolution and when the powers that be tried to cover it up, coverage still got out. Al Jazeera is providing live coverage over the web and speak2tweet is allowing people in Egypt to call and have their messages spread across the globe despite the government shutting down the Internet.

Click here for live coverage and here to check out the Twitter feed. As of now, it's midnight in Cairo and there are still almost 2 million Egyptians protesting in Tahrir Square. This is simply amazing to see people come together like this for a cause and we're truly being given the opportunity to watch history unfold before our eyes. The revolution may not be televised, but it's still spreading across the world.
