Public Axis walks among the cosplayers and sci-fi fans of the NDG Sci-Fest, a magnet for the geeks, dorks and nerds in the Central Texas area. A mighty show awaits you full of hype, dream movies and the age old telepathy vs. telekinesis debate.
Recorded at the Wonderland of the Americas on June 8th, 2013 with comic book superpal, Samson Portillo.
00:00 We soak in all the sights, sounds and smells of the NDG Sci-Fest and mildly test Samson's knowledge of comic book alter egos and Regan's ability to suppress his bully gene.
11:45 Yeah, Imma Look Into Dat! The ultimate video game hype machine is among us: E3 2013! Jess leads the discussion on hype with our first topic: Name something you were super hyped for in the past? Did it live up to the hype?
32:35 Dad's Corner(ed)! Larry's kids are all about the superhero movies, an exciting element to being a parent; sharing your life long dorkables with your loved ones. Speaking of superhero movies: What superhero movie should be made next and who should play them?
49:36 Hey, That's Not Funny! Regan's sparks talks of the Age Old Debate: Would you rather have the power of telepathy or telekinesis? And why? This article about an internet robot version of “stop hitting yourself” is the inspiration. Also, we toss in a bonus question: what superhero costume would you want to wear on a normal day?
1:03:46 Another fantastic podcast ends with another fantastic session of What We Learned Today. Enlighten yourself!
Stay tuned later this week for a special video filled with interviews with NDG Sci-Fest goers as well as the answers to our burning questions of the week!

Sci-Phi, I like this. i'm no expert of crusoe. I used to get into a bit of Emanuel Kant. One of my favorite philosophers. Jean-Paul Sartre would leave me drained. I believe Kant gave us the origins of the word phenomena. It’s nice to see a magazine with Philosophical elements in it. I wrote an experimental science fiction story a few years ago with a “philosophical theme.” I don’t think it’s good enough for that market and it’s on my crashed W98 system anyway. I think I might just let the story languish, maybe do something with it in a few years. There’s not enough Philosophy in science fiction these days and if there is it reads to over the top. I haven’t seen the magazine yet Rob but do you know if their guidelines want traditional philosophy or home grown philosophical ideas or both?Jim http://tjluuq.com [url=http://mbrpln.com]mbrpln[/url] [link=http://aeqdcwqzhsz.com]aeqdcwqzhsz[/link]
Andrew, thanks for your exlelcent work in putting this blog together. Your reviews are very well-written in my opinion.I've read a bunch of the novels on your list; many more yet to read. Ringworld is my personal favorite, as that's the one that got me started on the genre over 30 years ago.You're right on target with the Hyperion series; some of the most beautiful and wildly-imagined writing I've ever seen.Thanks again. http://vdflqw.com [url=http://lpxwerlcg.com]lpxwerlcg[/url] [link=http://tiktbeeg.com]tiktbeeg[/link]
Thanks for reading Britt, I apectriape the compliment! I've been a big lover of Sci-Fi novels for a long time, and I thought this list would be a good way to broaden my knowledge and help other people discover great books. As you can see by some of the missing numbers on the list in the right sidebar, I still have a ways to go as well. Keep checking back, and I'd love to hear your specific thoughts and comments on any of the books in this list.
Gee whiz, and I thugoht this would be hard to find out.
to阿簡:所以我們可以這麼說,玻璃紙可以當作"可見光"的color filetr ,但會保留紅外線光類似Infrared pass filetr,這樣敘述對嗎?你知道玻璃紙是屬於bandpass filetr or highpass filetr 嗎? 你有它們相關頻譜分佈表嗎?Thx!!William.
