Strider's Sci-Fi

The maniacs at Robot Chicken have a new special coming out, and the target this time is the superheroes of DC Comics. I think the fun part is going to be the cast, which includes Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern); Megan Fox (Lois Lane); Seth Green (Aquaman, Batman, Robin); Neil Patrick Harris (Two-Face); Breckin Meyer (Superman); [...]

For all those Neko moments, this is the unbeatable apparel accessory; brainwave powered cat ears by NeuroWear. The first video is their commercial, the second is various people at a Con trying them out and getting them to react. Two details immediately spring to mind while watching these, the first being that in the tryouts, [...]

Blastr is not a new web site. It is part of the Sci-Fi Channel stable of online properties, and has been known for years as Sci-Fi Wire, an old and honorable internet name going back to the early ’90s when it was owned by a couple of independent Sci-Fi fans. They made a ton of [...]

Yes, tonight begins Season 4 of Eureka, in just a few minutes in fact; if you don’t know what it’s about, check the TechLand Everything You Need To Know About Eureka entry, and be tuned in at the top of the hour!

The best version of Star Wars yet… at least the best version that tells the original 3 movies in 2 and a quarter minutes using Lego’s. This one’s a hoot; thank you Science Fiction Geeks for the heads up on this one. The video after that is a real commercial for the TomTom team, who [...]

I came across an article on the Null Set about Making Anime Personas for Firefox, with some excellent examples (that set is listed under Steelbound). I also found rather nice collections by Songbird, Bellas, Kawaii Mooru, and Fleur, to name just a few. I also found huge selections of other science fiction themes, but these [...]

Just a few fun videos, based on modifying observable reality in non-standard ways. The key for both of these is only partly to use the latest evolution in communications and data processing to achieve the desired result. Having the latest tech is good, but what is critical is using that tech in ways never before [...]

This one was too much fun, so I had to include it here. The Embed-permitted version is courtesy of Veoh: this is Kirsten Dunst doing a remake of the classic Vapors song Turning Japanese. This one was even filmed in Akihabara! Strangely enough, this video was put together as part of a museum exhibit in [...]

Yes, a boatload of props from Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis are going up for auction over at The PropWorx and on ebay over the next few months, according to SciFi Wire. They also got the auction team to list the 20 coolest things up for grabs, which include a Thor puppet, a MALF, and [...]

Referred to as the iVictrola, this brass and walnut construct bookmarks the 20th century audio technology span. Mount your 21st century iPhone/iPod in the slot and hit play; the 19th century Victrola brass horn picks up the audio output and amplifies it just as the original did, acoustically. While the only production run of this [...]
