    Does The Tesla Device remind anyone else of that wonderful Star Trek: Voyager episode Threshold? #thetesladevice

    Wow. I have no idea where you find this stuff, but it's pretty great just knowing this stuff gets made. I think the Ghost Machine movie has that kid from that MMA movie from last year...looks kind of passable - maybe a SyFy saturday movie? #thetesladevice

    The Telsa Device clip reminds me, I dreamed about time travel last night. Turns out, you go to this lab, you lay down with your face over a blue electric lightwell, and when the well activates, you get pulled down into the time period that you're visiting. I had a good visit to 1922 New York City, though I only paid for the 'mental essence' package, so I was basically just floating around 20s NYC, without the ability to interact with anyone. One of the other travelers on our trip got in big trouble; she had upgraded to the corporal package and so was actually walking around, but she spent a 1934 dollar bill, which was an obvious no-no. The Director and I spent some time discussing whether the Lab should have an ATM on-site that dispenses time-appropriate currency, and if so, how you would price the service.

    The lesson, obviously, is I need to rethink my pre-bedtime red wine intake. #thetesladevice
