The Star Wars wiki has expanded into the world of blogging with Wookieepedia Newsnet, a companion to the main site. Spearheaded by CJ reader Graestan, the blog will let those of us who maybe don’t log into our accounts for months weeks at a time keep up with community goings-on.

First the book, now a blog! She’s been posting regularly for the last couple of weeks on a weblog at CarrieFisher.com. Topics so far range from a party for Milk (with Ewan McGregor!) to the metal bikini and dwarf-eating hippos. A pretty good start, if you ask me. (via)

There’s no fooling around at the Concept Ships blog. You know exactly what you’re getting, and there’s a hell of a lot of it! Almost overwhelming, but totally worth it. The image above by John Wu. (via)

The folks over at Gawker have set their sights on a new corner of the interwebs with a science fiction blog, io9. Naturally, SF blogging maestro John Scalzi has a little something to say, invoking the name of Fandom Wank and everything.

And yes, you don’t need to email me, I see their post on Imperial recruitment posters and their list of awesome sci-fi gadgets.
