		<description><![CDATA[The question is, will Nix follow? A British man by the name of Adrian Bennett has defied his name and gone to live in the Australian Outback and I don&#8217;t mean the local steakhouse. No, he has decided to live out a 27 year old obsession to live the life of Max and open a Mad Max museum in the town of Silverton, way the hell and gone into the Aussie wilderness.
A quote from Adrian in The Times via Scifiwire:
&#8220;From the opening credits of the first film to the closing credits of Mad Max 2 my jaw was on the floor, I couldn&#8217;t believe what I was seeing and I was totally hooked,&#8221; Bennett told The Times of the moment his obsession began over two decades ago.
He says it was &#8220;everything—the costumes, the characters, the location and the vehicles&#8221; which attracted him to the film and led him to a life of collecting Mad Max-related memorabilia.
Adrian has included his wife [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This has amused me as so I shall post it. Now, in this modern world of ours, there are many new wonders and also, strange and disturbing new dangers. It&#8217;s very difficult to keep up with what could confuse or kill you. I am here to help. A considerate fellow by the name of Arenamontanus has created some instructive new warning signs for hazards and dangers you can only encounter living as we do at the very edge of human achievement. Thanks BoingBoing.

You&#8217;re thinking as you watch this,&#8220;Dude, this cannot be real&#8221;, as you make funny faces and fight the volcanic re-emergence of your lunch.
As a Sci-Fi fan and veteran to the myriad gross-outs common to this genre, you read this post with a cynical eye. You&#8217;re immune to the blobulous, squishy and oozy. But let me tell you dear reader that there&#8217;s a big difference between special effects and real life. The real deal can&#8217;t be dismissed after the credits roll. Real gets under your skin. Down deep in Raleigh, North Carolina, this thing lives still. It grows. Perhaps all the evils of organic chemistry, flushed and forgotten have finally come back to haunt us, speed evolving this gelatinous gob into something that may eventually be able to morph into the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, we westerners must bow to all that is Japan&#8217;s Sci-Fi awesomeness. We cannot compete. It&#8217;s a dream of mine to go to Japan for many reasons. From an outsider&#8217;s view, it seems that Japan is the ultimate in grafting a living historical society with a highly enthusiastic Sci-Fi wonderland. Where else in the world could you have a 59 foot giant freaking robot Gundam guarding a major city?
As you can see in this dramatic picture, the Gundam remains vigilant by day and by night, keeping the residents of Tokyo safe from other, more evil doing Robots or various species of aquatic giant monster things. Japan we salute you! Send us airline tickets! Via Gizmodo.

		<description><![CDATA[Close to every nerds heart is the periodic table of elements. I have a copy tattooed to my inner thigh as we all do, it&#8217;s essential information at the ready in case I am in desperate need for the atomic weight of Roentgenium while doing something naked. However essential, the Table is a dry read. Sometimes you just need a cute cartoon character to fill you chock full of that synaptic pathway building education. Here for your consideration is the atom Oxygen. See how well he interacts with all the rest of his atomic kind. Thanks PostHumanBlues.

		<description><![CDATA[NBC Universal Television recently held an auction for Battlestar Galactica memorabilia, where BSG nerds with disposable cash (or however much they could steal from their parents) got the chance to buy their very own copy of Starbuck&#8217;s flight suit or that incredible red number that Cylon Number Six (played by Tricia Helfer) wore for much of the show. According to SciFiWire, a couple of geeks did put their cash where their hormones were, snapping up Starbuck&#8217;s flight suit for $16,500, while Number Six&#8217;s red number went for a chart-topping $23,000.
Other notable items that went for big bucks included the &#8220;Battlestar 75&#8243; seal from the &#8220;Weapons Control&#8221; section of CIC, which went for $16,000, and &#8220;Kara&#8217;s Bizarre Painting on Canvas&#8221;, which went for $15,000. Adama&#8217;s Duty Blue Uniform went for $13,000, while Sharon (aka Boomer&#8217;s) flight suit scored $13,000. 
Now if only they could buy their very own version of a social life&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Mike Horn, currently the editor for Current TV is the crazy genius behind that video that all too lovingly depicts the Enterprise being vaporized by the Death Star. A clever mashup of two of sci-fi-doms most enduring franchises, that video is just one of two he created. It also appears that his videos were not sanctioned by the venerable George Lucas as we may have previously conjectured, 
“Lucas has not called me yet,” Horn says, “but if he did, I’d certainly express my gratitude toward him for making my childhood so magical. His cultural and technological legacy is enormous. My favorite Star Wars films are the original trilogy, and of the newer trilogy, I’d oddly have to say Phantom Menace was my favorite.”

Here&#8217;s the other video he did,

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry, Colbert fans, your precious Stephen Colbert won&#8217;t be getting a space station named after him despite 230,539 write-in votes, trumping the second place finisher, &#8220;Serenity&#8221; with a measly 40,000 votes. Instead, NASA has decided to go with the name &#8220;Tranquility&#8221; for the Node 3, its new living quarters on the International Space Station, which it publicly asked for naming suggestions in an attempt to drum up interest. 
But NASA did make one concession to Colbert&#8217;s fans: they will rename a vital piece of equipment on the Node 3 after Colbert &#8212; the Combined Operational Load-Bearing External Resistance Treadmill, aka the exercise treadmill.
All of this is fine and all, and space geeks probably get a kick out of it, but everyone else is probably wondering why we&#8217;re spending $100 billion on an International Space Station that doesn&#8217;t seem to be producing very much.
By the way. Colbert? Funny as heck on the Daily Show, but I don&#8217;t know how anyone can [...]]]></description>

Hey, why not join the party, right? But I&#8217;m sure this will be a disappointing to those of you who have read the magazine through the years.
Here&#8217;s the news from Starlog itself earlier last week:
STARLOG.com has relaunched in beta! As a part of our massive digital initiative, STARLOG.com has returned to the web to bring you the best original content pertaining to the worlds of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Comic Entertainment.

Or cringe at your complete devotion to a short, bearded guy who lives on his own ranch and adopts kids by the dozens? How about hot girls who break out the lightsabers to compete for your attention. 
This is a parody of those Ax ad commercials, featuring girls in a bar and lightsabers. You&#8217;re welcome, Star Wars nerds.

Each volunteer will have a small sleeping area and be able to bring books, dvd&#8217;s and a laptop with them. All supplies are locked in and all communications with the outside world will be delayed just as if they were traveling for real to the red planet.
A quote from an eager European.
&#8220;How do I feel? I am very motivated. There is a kind of relief. We have been working for a long time and finally we are getting to the start point,&#8221; Frenchman Cyrille Fournier told reporters just hours ahead of the experiment.
&#8220;The challenge is to live with the same people for a long period but it is a positive challenge. I think we are going to learn a lot about each other,&#8221; added his German fellow volunteer Oliver Knickel.

		<description><![CDATA[This is not science fiction TV news per se, but well, it is about TV, and it is sci-fi (well sort of), and it&#8217;s kind of fun. Anyways, as you may know, the Sci Fi Channel recently announced that it was changing its name from The Sci Fi Channel to The SyFy Channel for business purposes &#8212; mostly so it can brand and copyright the name, something it couldn&#8217;t do with its original name. One of the channel&#8217;s original founders Mitchell Rubenstein (who co-founded the channel in the early &#8217;90s with Laurie Silvers) has spoken out, and he doesn&#8217;t sound too happy about the name change.
From Rubenstein at Hollywood.com (via):
Before the Sci Fi Channel launched, Isaac Asimov (a member of the Sci Fi Channel&#8217;s Board of Advisors along with Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry), Laurie and I presented the concept of a 24-hour cable TV network dedicated to science fiction to a packed room of SF writers at the Science [...]]]></description>

Synthetic females in film and television seem designed for no guilt attraction. Most are engineered to pass entirely as women, while some wear their feminine chrome in plain view. Disguised, a beautiful bot can perform many tasks, including deluding stupid and smitten males for the brief time it will require for them to be probed, sampled, interrogated or terminated.
What other tasks a girl robot may wish or be programmed to perform we can leave up to your imagination. Here are a few of the sexiest robots on film and television.
Angelina Jolie In Cyborg 2
This was Angelina&#8217;s first grown up movie role. In it she played a secret agent bot and an occasionally naked one. Soon she was forced to be on the run after she discovered she was about to be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Harlan Ellison, the famous sci-fi writer who wrote what is probably the most well-regarded Star Trek The Original Series episode ever, &#8220;City on the Edge of Forever&#8221;, has sued CBS-Paramount and the Writers Guild of America on behalf of that episode. Specifically, Ellison believes the studio hasn&#8217;t paid him what he&#8217;s owed for &#8220;City&#8221;, while the WGA is being punished for not doing enough to help him get his just dues.
Nikki Finke over at Deadline Hollywood has more on the suit:
He&#8217;s alleging the Big Media company allegedly has failed to pay him for the merchandising, publishing, and other exploitations of his work from inception to present day. The suit filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California also names the Writers Guild of America &#8212; despite Ellison being a 47-year member and twice on its board of directors &#8212; and accuses the guild of failing to act on Ellison’s behalf after numerous requests.

		<description><![CDATA[With the coming Botocalypse, the thinking person must turn their attention to the practical problems of staying alive while dodging those stealthy chrome plated villains of robotic mayhem.
How do you get drinkable water from a decaying urban cesspool for example? Wired interviews Neil Strauss on his book &#8220;Emergency: This book will save your life&#8221; on the techniques and skills you will require when hunting the vicious urban Squirrel or the more  practical uses of your now maxed out credit cards.

		<description><![CDATA[When the predictions of a million Science Fiction novels and movies are about to come true,  it demands a post here at SciFiCool. Plus, the alien parasite grafted to my primary motor cortex demands it. I am powerless to resist.
The Kepler is a 600 million dollar craft that blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida yesterday. Kepler will have it&#8217;s own orbit around the sun and will scan the sky between constellations Cygnus and Lyra and hopefully, in time, find Tatooine or Naboo. As I understand it, Kepler may also be useful in searching our own backyard of space stuff for possible hidden planet 9 or even perhaps to discover giant hurtling space rocks of doom, courses plotted to smush mother Earth. Kepler gets my vote as probe of the year

		<description><![CDATA[I love the fact that many of the new cars I see coming off the lines are starting to look like the concept cars I have been seeing on the cover of pulpy Sci-Fi novels for years. The designers imagine these cars, but in the past the brain dead executives in charge of the car companies have refused to stick the real rubber and chrome on them and get them on the road.
I have a new Honda civic, with the multi-leveled dash and the cool FI themed blue lighting. It is my little spaceship. When I am alone, sans female, I occasionally make little spaceship sounds as I whiz about George Jetson style. Caution, you can&#8217;t have a female in the car if you want to make spaceship sounds.
Below is the Audi Shark, a concept Hovercraft that won an Audi design competition. It comes from visionary designer Kazim Doku. It is bad-ass. Put some fins on it and it has [...]]]></description>
