Science Fiction, NZ Style


Had to share this photo of a most cool sculpture, a 3-legged robotic monster in the tradition of War of the Worlds. Mounted to the top of the mechanoid is a film projector, which looks surpisingly menacing with a single glowing evil eye. The sculpture was given to the city by WETA Workshops, Peter Jackson's special effects production company.

Speaking of Science Fiction, next Wednesday I attend a meeting of the Wellington Science Fiction Society, where I get to hang out with fellow geeks and talk about otherworldy things. I'm sure to be quite at home. Incidentally, for those of you who might like to come visit us and would be interested in some fandom fun, here are a couple of links that may interest you:
