Monday February 11, 2008 | Netflix Goes Out On A Limb | SciFi |
What do you think, Han Solo action figure #7, should we add Star Wars to our Netflix queue?

Tuesday August 21, 2007 | Where the Sci-Fi Channel Gets Its Ideas | SciFi |
Beware! The Sci-Fi Channel is releasing yet another snake movie! MegaSnake must be the twelfth stupid snake movie, following in the lame footsteps of movies like Snakehead Terror, Python, King Cobra, Komodo vs Cobra, and Snake King.
I can only imagine that the "creative" minds over at the Sci-Fi channel have this in their office to determine the next original movie.

Wednesday March 14, 2007 | Cool Movie of Solar Eclipse Photographed From Space | SciFi |
Neatorama posted this story, but they only linked to still photos of the eclipse. Nasa's site has the whole movie, which is much cooler because it, y'know, moves and stuff. Yes, technically it's a "lunar transit of the sun" but that phase doesn't play in Peoria.
Watch the movie in large mode, if possible.

Friday March 09, 2007 | These Are Not The Mailboxes You're Looking For | SciFi |
The URL on the mailboxes isn't working (yet). Here are the obligatory one-liners:
- Still no word on the Jar-Jar Binks port-a-potties.
- I, for one, welcome our droid overlords!
- "When you want your mail sent to a galaxy far, far away."
- "Help me, Postmaster General Kenobi, you're our only hope."

Wednesday February 21, 2007 | Tesla Coil Lightning Car Protection | SciFi |
This is the coolest anti-theft device ever. He calls it the Eye of Sauron. I think it looks more like Emperor Palpatine's force lightning, but I'm a huge nerd.
There are more pictures of his Tesla coil from his web page.

Tuesday January 02, 2007 | Starship Size Comparison Charts | SciFi |
My friend Brad sent me Dan Carlson's Starship Comparison Chart. It's pretty cool, but also a few years old and missing a few ships. So, I checked it there is an update and I found Jeff Russell's Starship Dimentions site. It has multiple scale views so you can see everything from Chewbacca to the Dyson Sphere from Star Trek: TNG. Pure geeky fun.

Wednesday November 08, 2006 | For Hard Core Sci-Fi Fans | SciFi |
If you are a hard core Trekkie (or Trekker), then this is for you.
This scale model U.S.S. Enterprise measures approximately 32.7" x 16" and comes with stand. Cost? Only US$1200. Maybe I should have said, "hard core, rich Trekker."
Not a Star Trek fan? How about Star Wars? You can also buy the Millennium Falcon Studio Scale replica for only US$2200. Use the force, and your Visa card, Luke!
