Want to do SCIENCE?!
Zooniverse has another crowd-sourcing project going: they need people to help transcribe specimen labels from botanic and insect collections (looks like there's an ornithological one in the works, too).
I've done a couple of the botanic specimens: you get presented with a photo of a specimen with a label. You draw a box around the label, and it enlarges it for you, then leads you though transcribing it one step at a time.
Go! Do SCIENCE!

(keep in mind they just announced it a few minutes ago, and I think are having a few bandwidth problems from the load. XD)
