Space, startrek and geekery : From the geeks this week series

Definitively a space theme to this weeks links, but with the a bit of internet geekery and geek psychology thrown in for good measure.

• The man who ‘nearly broke the internet’ Well not quote, but a fascinating look at the Internet underworld.
• Twitter Data Maps Show How Interconnected Our World Really Is
• In praise of misfits – Why it’s actually cool to be a geek, we couldn’t agree more.
• The Ultimate Sci-Fi Spaceship Face-Off – who’s the fastest? For a bit of fun from Slate. We love the reference to the Heart of Gold.
• How much would it cost to build the Starship Enterprise? That’s a big number, but absolutely worth it. Startrek here we come.
• Interview with the designer behind the futuristic interfaces shown in Star Trek Into Darkness A wonderfully interesting read.
• Finally, this week a fasincating video on the Original Star Trek Galileo Spacecraft:

We’ve stayed with the space and the Startrek theme specifically with our team picking out their favourite Startrek cufflinks this week, joining our ever popular hand picked selection of Dr Who cufflinks, retro cufflinks and of couse batman cufflinks.
