REMINDER: Accretionary Wedge posts due this Friday — The theme is unhinged speculation about the future Earth.
Calculus: The Musical! — The concept may or may not be more charming than the execution.
Sand Won’t Save You This Time — Mmm, ClF3.
Plausibly Impossible: Hirotoshi Itoh’s Grinning Stones — Rocks with zippers!
Planet Harddrive — Cool, but implausible, geological sci-fi idea. Who *doesn’t* need a giant information storage medium in which the long-term conservation problems are worse than those of a cheap-o CD-RW?
Carnival of Space #87 — Spaaaace!

Hirotoshi Itoh’s work – definitely delicious! I especially like the one with coffee beans inside – you know they must be fresth.

The musical is odd, but I saw a pretty good 2-person rendition last year. Perfect geek date .
