Lego's Legoland Space Galaxy Explorer (set #497) was one of my favourite Lego sets when I was a kid. It came out in 1978-9 and man, did it look cool. I had to check ebay to see if some fool was selling a complete kit - sure enough, there was one such fool, but he's asking $185USD, and that's without the box! Now, of course it is possible through the wonder of the Internet to assemble the needed parts without the need for the whole kit. There are many resources for Lego Nuts - one of the best is LugNet (this is their entry for set #497)
The Chronicles of Narnia are being made into a series of films to be shown starting with The Lion, The Witch and the Wardbrobe this December. Subsequent films (Walden Media, the production company, has the rights to all seven books in the series). The Stone Table is a good website devoted to the movies and everything CS Lewis. Apple's trailer website has some good preview teasers 1, 2.
The White House has given press credentials to a blogger. This could get interesting.
An online database of aerial propaganda leaflets. Lots of juicy WW2 stuff!
