I'm currently enjoying "The Inexplicable Universe with Neil deGrasse Tyson" on Netflix.

It's a series of lectures - nothing new for someone very familiar with the topic, but interesting and entertaining nonetheless.

For those with short attention spans (me most of the time) the "How It's Made" series is fantastic. Most segments run 6 or 7 minutes.

Even with my manufacturing and defense contractor background, it is absolutely amazing to me how much of all the stuff we buy is almost entirely made by machines.

Those PBS shows on King Tut and the Silver Pharaoh were fantastic.

Watched Prom Night in Mississippi last night.

Wow.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
