Europa Report is a new movie about an international team of astronauts sent a mission to land on and explore the Jovian moon Europa. What makes Europa Report different is that it looks entirely realistic! In fact, the trailer looks like it could have come from an actual mission that...
Now that Disney has bought Lucas Film, what should we expect for then next Star Wars films? I think these guys have a pretty good idea (and it’s pretty well done, too). But seriously, it looks like the new Star Wars films will be coming out in the summer of...
Was the tragic destruction of the Imperial Death Star at the hands of the Rebel Alliance an inside job? You decide.
Well, this is certainly interesting. The National Intelligence Council, one of those enigmatic-sounding-yet-mostly-harmless-(well-probably) US government agencies, has recently released a report called Global Trends 2030. This is interesting because it projects 4 plausible scenarios, or “Alternative Worlds”, for the future state of the world in the year 2030, covering the...
The White House has just rejected a modest proposal to secure resources and funding to begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.

As I previously posted, we’ve just returned from Dragon*Con 2012, and it was great! Most of my pictures turned out to be from the parade (since I skipped out on the costume contest), and while I have far more pictures than I can possibly post, I thought I would just...
Well, we just returned from Dragon*Con 2012, and it was great! Dragon*Con is one of North America’s biggest sci-fi/fantasy conventions, and I think there were somewhere around 45,000 people there this year (though I swear it felt more like 45,008). I can’t even begin to name the guests who attend,...
