    I'm glad to see someone using primary colors. I'm tired of the grey-brown-beige-black future.

    I keep thinking that I will eventually get tired of parodies like this, but turns out no, I still love it every time I see it. I'm a fan of that Punisher one, although they could have gone a little further with the Cubist style. As they are they kinda look like a bastard love-child between Cubism and Surrealism, although that is not a bad thing.

    Sorry. They remind me more of Fred Flintstone than Pablo Picasso's work.

    These are beautiful.

    BTW, Annalee, I think it's great to be inclusive and the Milliways reference is now decades old, but anybody that doesn't know The Resturant at the End of the Universe is probably reading the wrong blog.

    Ah-ha!!! Annalee, you used an adverb in the title of this piece. Check out the discussion in "Learn The Craft Of Novel-Writing From Walter Jon Williams And Nancy Kress"....I guess you wouldn't be up for their class. Noob :)

    @TotalFanGirl: I suppose the goal is to use adverbs discreetly, vs. lavishly or flagrantly.

    @acrobatic rabbit: Same here. Something about the "old soul technology aspect" being blended with the "far future space technology." It just looks cool and feels right.

    This is where I'd be happy if the Dollhouse technology really existed.

    I'd gladly submit myself to imprinting if it meant that I could draw, paint, or play an instrument at a level comparable to that with which I know and understand science in general, and physics and math in particular.

    Most likely, though, they wouldn't let me have both what I have now (the science) and what I desire (the art).

    Dubai is rad! Even if most the beaches are private; even if your girlfriend gets treated like a lower being than any male; even if you can't do as you please!
    It is still an amazing and exciting place.
    I'd much rather go to Dubai than the United States of America. It's probably safer.

    In reply to The Art of the Space Race
    Just recently I was in Los Alamos and went to the Bradbury Science Museum (named after a Los Alamos Lab director). It was great fun, full of science, technology, and history displays. But it does have an element of the "Hey, Kids, nuclear weapons are fun!" kind of thing. Of course, that totally works for me, but may not be everyone's cup of tea.
