  • The Doo-Dah News Generator

    This isn’t even tangentially related to science fiction, other than the fact that it uses a computer and illustrates the vast power of the Internet. As nearly as I can tell, the vast power of the Internet is more or less entirely centered around conferring unlimited opportunities to be silly. The Doo-Dah News Generator monitors…

  • Steam Trek: The Moving Picture

    Any comment I could make would be entirely superfluous. (via Slumbering Lungfish)

  • Asimov’s Three Laws for Cats

    Defective Yeti has the right idea. 1. A cat may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. This includes transmogrifying from “adorable kitty enjoying a tummy rub” to “bandsaw” without warning. Link

  • Aaaaaargh—lolbots

    I don’t believe I can put it any more succinctly than Xeni Jardin has: Goddammit.

    So you’ve seen the lolcats at places like I Can Has Cheezeburger. (There’s quite a good writeup about the phenomenon at Anil Dash’s site. That has been taken to the next level, with loltrek. Tribbles has mah bucket!

  • If All Stories Were Written Like Science Fiction Stories

    Shrove Tuesday (Observed), a collaboration amongst many Internet humorists dear to my heart which had somehow escaped my notice until I stumbled upon it in a Wikipedia article about something else entirely, has a wonderful parody of an awful lot of SF…. After a short wait, they were ushered onto the plane with the other…
