My new favorite activity

Galaxy Zoo is consuming my life at the moment and I happily give my consent. It's a site where you look at pics of galaxies and group them into a handful of simple categories. There are millions of identified galaxies that need to be categorized and it turns out that people are much better at this task than computers. I am really excited to be making a contribution (granted a small one) to science. Plus a bonus you get to see really cool pics of lands far far away.

I learned about this from the Bad Astronomer Phil Plait.
