I can't really fit any more programs on my pc, but I'm always up for some space exploration. Sometimes I don't need any technology at all, just kinda get spacey on my own.   

cool pictures DB, if you spot any other mind blowing stuff out there,  I'd be grateful to see the shots.

Cool Android app, M5. I'm going to check if they have anything like it of my iPhone. Who knows, now my next cell phone might have to be Android based.
