Hull Prototype 2 - This time, it's CARD!

Unfortunately it's not of much interest to pre-schoolers, as you might guess, so we managed to see most of the Chinese exhibition and nothing else before the little folk decided they ( Read more... ) -

Top 50 Sci-Fi big shots.
SFX magazine just ran a list of what they percieve as the top 50 biggest movers and shakers in sci-fi either currently or in the forseeable future.

Wow! Just.... wow!
