It was a bitter sweet day for America. Space Shuttle Atlantis touched down safely Thursday at around 6:00 a.m. It was the completion of a successful mission but the end of an era for NASA and the rest of the country. The shuttle was a source of pride. The world’s first and only reusable space truck. Hopefully the business sector will be able to take up the reigns of space travel in the next few years and come up with a suitable replacement vehicle.

StumbleUpon (also known as internet crack) is testing out a new way for users to stumble the internet. They are calling it “Explore Box” and it looks quite a bit like a typical search engine set up. But this is StumbleUpon, so obviously it doesn’t work like a typical search engine.
The service allows users to put in specific search queries for what they are interested in, and then SU brings you a random site that falls under the criteria you entered into the box. It’s nothing earth shattering but it does allow the user more control over what sorts of things they want to stumble to and expands upon the categories of interests available to stumblers. This may make users consider more specific tagging when they submit websites to SU.
