After this vacation and learning that Disney is preparing to build an Avatar Land it dawned on my that there is so much for us SCI FI nuts that you can not avoid around the Orlando area. Most of them are in Universal and there is some in the Disney Parks. Over the years I have traveled with my family a number of times to the area and I have been lucky enough that my family likes the same stuff that I do. So it is real easy to become a kid once again and do all that geeky/nerdy/sci fi/ F-en awesome SH*T without any problems. So without going into to much detail on what is what . I will just list the rides in the parks they belong to and if possible find a Youtube video of them to give you an idea of what they are about via excerpts from the descriptions on Wikipedia. And these days that should be easy. Its like almost everyone post their vids of their experiences up on Youtube and there is always someone writing in Wiki in reliable and exact detail about those attractions these days. Since this is a lengthy one and most likely will have some add ons in the future as I find more and more I have broken this into pages with each of the attractions having their own page. You can go either find the ride your interested in by title or just click the next page. 

The other night when flicking through channels on my TV I came across accidentally on a show called Trek Nation that was aired on the Science Channel or Sci (the channels logo) Channel. It is one of those cable/satellite channels that many may not know about but is one of those like the History channel that is fun to watch when your in one of those cerebral moods .

Here is some early Christmas cheer done Sci-Fi style for ya. This first one I saw on Facebook been trying to track down the origen of it but have not so far but still to crazy not to post it anyway. The others are dancing light displays that are pretty awesome. I had to laugh with the Star Trekkin song. I remember when that first came out and thought it was to total Shite but then ended up loving it for its insanity. Enjoy

Edited - I found out that this is actually a float in the Festival of Lights in East Peoria, IL. Check out the Festival of Lights Promo 2010 where the first clip is of the Enterprise float. It still damn cool.

I really did not get a chance to watch the show last night but caught some of the highlights and saw some of the reviews and this time I think I was a bit disappointed in the results. I put together the winners and runners up list and I call them runners up because in the most part I thought some of them should of won and for that they are not losers. You can see some of my snide comments here and there about some of the results. Well with out delay here is the list.

Tis that season when the ghouls and creatures of the night decorate the outside of houses, inside of school rooms , gyms , neighborhood parks , stores and just about anything that people could put a decoration on. The most popular is the ever so carvable pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns. So it is a no brainer that there is a shmorgasborg of pumpkin carvings on the web and oh my there are a huge amount of phenomenal ones. I started this by thinking I would post the top 10. I found out even though I had a couple of favorites there is really no way of putting a number of who's the best and who's not. Especially the really well done ones. So instead I am going to just put them in any order as a gallery slide show and add some. We'll humorous ones in the mix that would not necessarily be considered a great carved pumpkin. Just imaginative. Enjoy.
