I've decided that I'll use this journal to record excitingly cool things that I've found on the web. Maybe even things that catch my fancy in real life, although I don't tend to experience much of that. 
There's a damn nice "Astronomy Picture of the Day" web site in NASA's domain:
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
Each day there is a new picture ranging from things as close as the moon to as far and as freaky as a distant galaxy being swallowed by a black hole at its centre. Some of the images are stunningly gorgeous. Each picture has a hyperlinked explanation, and it's very much worth a daily visit, if you're at all captivated by astronomy.
And now a quick plug for a good and dear friend: if you like that site, you'll love this article:
