The Agony Booth

Did you ever watch Mystery Science Theater 3000? That was a great show. It had these guys who watched horrible movies and provided a very funny running commentary on them. It took place on a space station and two of the guys were robots, but that's aside the point. The Agony Booth is like that, only in text form. They also do TV shows. They've reviewed everything from Battlefield Earth to the new Transformers movie with more coming every day. Check it out.

io9

io9 is one of my favorite science fiction websites. It collects science fiction and fantasy related stories from all over the internet, and also has some original content. It's the place I go to see what's new in the world of SciFi. Check it out.

Martin Bower's Model World

Each of us has a gift, something that makes us special, something that we do really well. For me it's writing blog posts about other people's websites that I found while randomly hopping about the internet while I ought to have been doing more productive things. For Martin Bower it is making models. Martin Bower is a skilled model maker who has produced models for movies, TV shows, books, and other forms of media. He has worked on Space 1999, Dr Who, Flash Gordon, and was the Supervising Modelmaker for the movie Alien. Martin Bower's Model World is Martin's official site, and you can find some great pictures of his models there. My favorite is the model of the Martian Tripod he designed for an aborted photo-novel of H.G. Well's War of the Worlds. Check it out.
