Wow a lot of very shrewd minds have pointed out inaccuracies in my inspirational Einstein image. Just goes to show you what an incredible resource for fact-checking that Tumblr is.
I have updated the image to reflect the amazing truth about this amazing man.

Albert Einstein as drawn on a very dirty Mini Cooper via Dirty Car Art.  I&#8217;m going to imagine that car is covered in stardust.
Wait a tick &#8230; Einstein &#8230; Mini Cooper &#8230; E = MC2!!

Wolfram|Alpha has a whole collection of line art portraits constructed from complex parametric functions. This is one of the greatest uses of mathematics I have ever come across. This discussion thread suggests that it&#8217;s probably done by computers rather than bored grad students (I mean, just look at the equation to get 2pac!!)
But the fact remains: This exists, and it is wonderful. Who&#8217;s your favorite?

Listen as Albert Einstein Reads You A Scientific Essay
It&#8217;s his voice, in your ears, from 1941, reading his essay ‘The Common Language of Science’. Words, I do not have them. Enjoy :)

I do not mind that you are a girl, but the main thing is that you yourself do not mind. There is no reason for it.
A letter from Einstein, born on this day in 1879, to a little girl who wanted to be a scientist but was concerned that her gender held her back. (via explore-blog)

Do not pay any mind to those who tell you that “you can’t”. This includes yourself.

A brilliant series of minimalist typographic tributes to scientists and their discoveries. I especially like the Copernicus one :)

Did you see those amazing colorized portraits of Tesla, Einstein and Darwin the other day? Here&#8217;s a few more, featuring a more light-hearted shot of Al, my main man Richard Feynman, and Yuri Gagarin.
Mads Madsen, the artist behind those retouched historical photos (who is only 18 years old, by the way &#8230; you rock, dude), has a full gallery for your enjoyment here.
Trust me when I say &#8220;enter at your own risk&#8221; &#8230; from Civil War generals to presidents to movie stars, it&#8217;s a sure way to lose yourself for an hour or three.

It&#8217;s almost like they&#8217;re RIGHT HERE.
Don&#8217;t you tell me to shush, Chuck. We have a lot to talk about. I have so many questions.
