Here is a more extended shot of the shelf with the little win-up toys and stuff. Above the wind up robots, there is a set of small clocks shaped like computers, and next to that is a little wind-up toy that came from Subways as part of a kid's-meal thing, related to the old, classic Schoolhouse Rock educational short cartoons they used to show on Saturday mornings in the 1970s. This one was from something called "Figure Eight" and was about a little girl ice-scating the number 8 a lot, or something of the sort. Anyway, it says "Figure Eight" on the side, and when wound up, would roll along a flat surface.
Obviously the rest of what you see is... well... books. Mostly stuff related to writing.
Somewhere behind the tiki and the wind-up fish (near the bottom of the picture), there is also a small, clear-plastic, yellow cat. About all you can see of it, though, is one little, thin leg behind the tiki, and maybe the edge of one (round) ear.
The car I built for Keith's "Zero Hour on Highway 44" diorama. It's my first attempt at building a car as an adult.
Burning Man 2009: Raygun Gothic Rocket. "It's not going anywhere," hollered somewhat indignantly from a slowly passing art car likely in response to the long, slow line to get in to see the interior of the rocket.
Mah Ponk on a huge plasma screen in a meeting room. Apparently this is how some people envisioned the future in the 70's, Pong included.
(She is wearing the light bearer shoulder harness I built, but the rest of the outfit is purely her design and looked awesome with her stilts!

Just back from a long weekend on Aurora Prime. The views of Saturn were STUNNING. Accommodation was lovely, only slightly spoiled by a glitching sanitary droid. Overall, couldn't recommend it more.
I brought back this beautiful poster as a memento.

The Evoluon is a unique and futuristic building in Eindhoven, Netherlands, that was built in 1966 by the electronics company Philips as a science museum. It resembles a landed flying saucer and was designed by architects Leo de Bever and Louis Christiaan Kalff. The Evoluon reopened to the public in September 2022 with the RetroFuture exhibition, which explores how we looked at the future in the past and what our expectations are now. The Evoluon also hosts the Spacefarming exhibition, which shows how we can grow food in space and on other planets. The Evoluon is a place where people, nature and technology come together and challenge each other.

Today's photo is a huge departure from my typical type of shot, but I really love it. I'm a huge Sci-Fi fan and especially retro style sci-fi and this shot just reminds me of that. This is also I believe my first ever B/W photo, which i actually spent about 3x more time editing than I do most of the other photos I upload here. In the end I'm really happy with the result and I hope you'll enjoy it too!
P.S. The title is a bonus joke that some of you out there may get.
