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.
Carrie Fisher has a blog (and was on NPR)
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)
In related news, Fisher was on NPR this weekend, as a guest on the quiz show Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! You can listen to the show online at the link. (via)
The fandom minute: Collector’s marriage still a go; Luke the idiot; Sithcake; Yes, you can haz force
Whatever happened to the collector from Dr. Phil whose wife tried to shame him into ditching his Star Wars stuff? The Springfield News-Sun follows up. They’re still married, he still has his collection, but he did go on a diet. Score?
- Lists: Topless Robot has five reasons Luke Skywalker is a complete idiot. Way harsh, Tai.
- Cake: Great White Snark found a great Darth Maul.
- Blog: ICANHASFORCE. Yes, it’s exactly what you’d expect.
Concept art: Spaceships, experimental aircraft
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)
Oh shit it’s a Gawker! Everyone get in the car!
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.
