There are no Inner Limits to Dana’s mind, or the wonderful finds she sends my way to share on her behalf. Like this vintage collection of Outer Limits cards. In fact, I have a couple of these kicking around in a drawer somewhere. Viva la Geek!

The Rice Hat Samurai

Posted in craft, geek, jewelry, sci-fi with tags , , , on September 9, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

the Rice Hat Samurai has handmade pendants for the geek with fine taste.

Would you care for a Dalek to go with that evening dress?

Perhaps a dash of Star Trek for the discriminating feminine nerd?

And I actually quite like this abstract design as well.

Vintage Lab Week: Metropolis

Posted in automata, film, robots, sci-fi, science on August 31, 2012 by 13hearseman13

Little introduction is needed for Metropolis, a 1927 film by Fritz Lang; written by his wife Thea von Harbou. Complete with a futuristic city set only 100 years in the future, this science fiction morality tale features amazing alchemical laboratory sets. The neon lighting is a great touch.

Rotwang (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) is a scientist ordered by the master of the city, Joh Fredersen (Alfred Abel), to make a robot doppelganger of Maria (Brigitte Helm). Maria’s spirit transcends the class system–by sending a robot imposter back to the oppressed working class, the master of the city hopes to suppress an uprising. Rotwang has some really great neon light accented minimal lab sets.

Joh Fredersen, Rotwang and robot.
