A Viper Sim/Mockup ?! Cool ! I can’t wait to see the pictures…nothing on the Popsci website yet…you guys never cease to amaze me.
Congrats on your first con, Chuck. This website prompted me to attend my first late last year as well, also a smaller one, and it was a great first step, so thanks for that !
April’s coming !!
I think that I, by far, had the LOWEST score on that thing.
Do you get to keep it, Steve, or did it revert to the magazine ? 'Cause you can always set it up in your garage and practice, practice, practice !!
Now tell me about the rubber ‘Six’ you guys are working on now …:eek:
Chuck would be the one to answer that first question. As for the second…
It belongs to PopSci. Having built a few sims before, I’ve learned that they’re WAY too big to keep around the house.
I’m pretty sure they’re planning to ship it to Maker Faire in the Bay Area this May. If you get the chance to stop by, you could probably give it a go.
You guys were making me crack up in the office today with that one. 
Maelstrom still gets to me…when Kara says “It’s ok…let me go”…damn that messes me up. Even though I know she is coming back…still hits me.
Would have been intersted in Baltars reaction to her “death”. Tho we’ll probably get that in S4 since she is back and all.
I cna see Tigh being her father…but liek you guys, I think with S4 all bets are off and theyare going to do something that will make us all say “WTF???”
heh heh…word porn…heh that’s gonna be with me a second
One weird thing about Maelstrom is the scene where Adama and Roslin pass Starbuck in the hall. When she turns to give Adama the little Aurora figurine the lights in hallway behind her flicker out. Its kind of subtle and no big deal. However, when she returns in CRPtII the whole fleet loses power. Coincidence?
Speaking of Aurora. Is it too soon to reprise the discussion of the significance of Adama’s wooden ship?
<runs in the other direction>
aiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
re: wooden ship (in a good way)
The first 'time round, I remember being really moved by Adama’s ship-crushing at the end. But this time I just imagined the crew gasping and thinking “oh s—.”
Hah, indeed. Does make that scene totally different knowing what we know now.
Baltar’s reaction? Jealousy. “But, I am the one! I am special!”
It just occurred to me that Tigh gives us proof that the Final Five Cylons appear to age at a normal rate.
so, the base model appearance is likely the “young Tigh” that Adama met many years ago
I really want to see old Tigh yelling “Get off my lawn!” to a whole bunch of young Tighs in S4.
Damn, that’s perfect! I won’t be surprised if we get some variation of that this season.
wow…yeah that would be very Baltar-ish, wouldnt it?
Why not try and do a live show for the premiere? Mugglecast just did one last week using ustream and had over 1300 people online for it. Another one to look at might be talkshoe, but I’ve thought the quality wasn’t so good.
As far as “word porn” goes. I’ve seen quit a bit of it. I’ve even read Transformers porn (if you can believe it) and since she never looks at this I can admit that my wife writes (and posts to her LJ) DC Comics slashfic.
Skypecast? That might be a way. I’ve fiddle with TalkShoe and Skype and think Skype will sound better. UStream can have interesting issues as it requires a webcam in the mix.
I’ll miss the second episode of the fourth season due to travel. Of course, then again, if I get stuck at DFW again I’ll ask about crashing in the area.
I understand not posting the simulator article, but can you post pix of the viper itself?
What did the producers call web content during the writer’s strike? Promotion? Well, here my friends is some promotion for Popular Science:
In all seriousness…very cool magazine. I haven’t picked it up in ten years and find myself looking forward to the next issue.
Consider this a sample. If you have the means, why don’t you go out and buy yourself a copy?
… now the real question to measure how authentic it is: Does it REALLY take THAT many G’s to keep the accelerator down?
Steve’s story about finding the article is great – “Wow, wait until the GWC crew find out about this!”
Still, keep the pix coming, please?
Heh. Love that it still has the seatbelt buckles.
