Morning! Some good news, netter news, and bad on this rainy day here in Victoria BC. Good news first, I’m finally over my flu… well mostly. For days it’s been dogging me and keeping me grounded. Luckily, I turned this time towards more articling and have topped 250! Good for me. As for the better […]
Technology in the Star Trek Universe (updated!)
I’ve wanted to do a post like this for awhile, ever since my conceptual post on Galactic Empires in fact. After doing my research on what distinguished one from the other, I noticed just how central technology, or the perception thereof, is to it all. And let’s face it, Star Trek has had a lot […]

Cool Guns (vol.3)
ARASKANA HLR-12x: Finally, I’ve found it! After much searching and digging, I finally found my way to the lasergun from the Akira movie.

More Cool Guns!
This post is a follow-up to one I did awhile back, one which featured weapons from the sci-fi universe. At the time, I really wasn’t planning on doing a follow-up.

The Predator Franchise (cont’d)
Hey all. It’s been awhile since I opened this topic and I’ve been a bit negligent. But that’s what happens when you get on a tangent with me. You go far and wide and somehow, maybe, you accidentally find your way back to the point… what was I saying? Oh, yeah! So getting back to […]
