Hackerspaces and Hacking Science →
“Civilian science”, or local, community-lead, focused science and tech meet-ups called “hackerspaces” who help with major problems such as the nuclear power plant crisis in Japan.

Free Comic Book Day →
Don’t forget it’s tomorrow! And while you’re there, maybe buy a non-free comic book! May I suggest Brian Vaughn’s Saga, Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye or Kelly Sue DeConnick’s Captain Marvel?
