  Sadly in java, but very nice, news feeds, represented as shimmering stars in the night sky, connected constellations, around stories, the ancient practise of star gazing, seeing connections, collective stories with a Joseph Campbell influence

  Web application to view information on what's happening on the web. Search by keyword or phrase and see related terms, people, and quotes--the "universe" surrounding that idea. Requires a fast connection.
  
  Quote: If we were to make new constellations today, what would they be? If we were to paint new pictures in the sky, what would they depict? These questions form the inspiration for Universe, which explores the notions of modern mythology and contemporary constellations. It is easy to think that the world today is devoid of mythology. We obsess over celebrities, music, movies, fashion and trends, changing madly from one moment to the next, causing our heroes and idols to come and go so quickly that no consistent mythology can take root. Especially for those who don't practice religion, it can seem there is nothing bigger in which to believe, that there is no shared experience that unites the human world, no common stories to guide us. Because of this, we are said to feel a great emptiness.
