Sci-Fi

Drupal Science Camp

Last weekend I went to Drupal Science Camp for some open-source goodness, and I took the space suit along (you know, just in case).

Our venue was terrific - Napp Pharmaceuticals kindly allowed us to use their brand new office building at Cambridge Science Park. The interior turned out to be ultra-futuristic, a perfect opportunity for a cheesey sci-fi photo shoot. So on Sunday morning, I got suited up and put some blue face-slap on. Lots of attendees wanted their photos taken with the infamous Drupal Space Man!

Afterwards, Stefan helped me out by taking these photos. I'm thrilled to bits with the results, even though my helmet was on a bit squint.

Photoshoppers... do your worst!

Dalek Invasion of Austria

Large steel chess king sculpture

On the way home from Austria, I encountered a Dalek. Well, not really, but I got an enormous fright all the same. Standing guard outside the departure gates is an enormous iron chess king, some 20 feet tall. I'm fairly sure it wasn't there last time.

A plaque at the base reads:

Gerhard Moswitzer
HÄUPTLING KÖNIG, 1996
Corten - Stahl

Trekkie Plays Star Trek Theme On Theremin

I'm not much of a Trek fan, but I do like a nice bit of Theremin. This is rather tastefully done.
