The Long Now Foundation

The Long Now Foundation is a foundation dedicated to long term thinking. They want people to think about things not only in their lifetimes, but thousands of years from now. They have a variety of interesting projects including a project to catalog all of the world's languages, a long term betting pool, and a massive project to build a clock that will run constantly for ten thousand years. They've got some cool stuff, and I think you should check it out.

And now you can watch all of their shows for free on the internet! Frontline Online has a complete list of all Frontline episodes ever, and you can watch them online for free with no ads.

Nova Online

If you're like me, and I suspect that you are, you love the PBS television series Nova. For the uninitiated, Nova does in depth reports on various science and history-related topics and airs on America's Public Broadcasting Station. A great site to visit is Nova Online's video section, where you can view tons of Nova episodes online for free! It's pretty cool. Note that I do not know if these videos are available to viewers outside of America. If they are not, sorry guys. Go check it out!
