The Women Of Disney In Faux Stained Glass

DeviantArtist Akili-Amethyst has immortalized some of our favorite Disney women in stained glass. Well, faux stained glass, anyway. Regardless, the effect is beautiful and I wish someone would get to work on making these in real life!

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is Being Made Into a BBC Miniseries. Someone Pass Me My Smelling Salts, I’m Feeling Faint.

Gotta tell you, when I slept through all my alarms this morning I thought it was a sign that today was going to be awful. How wrong I was. This might not be the biggest news to come out this week, but to me, it’s the best: Susanna Clarke‘s fantasy novel Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell will be a BBC miniseries.

Excuse me while I freak out.

Geek Girl Performance Anxiety

Only two panels into this comic and my inner voice was already screaming “YES. YES EVERY TIME I PLAY IN FRONT OF STRANGERS.” See also: “I better not choose to be the singer in our Rock Band group even though I sing really well because people will assume I can’t play any of the other instruments because I’m a girl and don’t play games,” and “If I pick a Wario game for the PAX East freeplay area because I’m really curious about them will some dude think it’s evidence that girls don’t play hardcore games?” Because I know how it works. It’s absurd, as Sailor Swayze points out by the punchline, how this preconception can make you feel like the full weight of female gamer acceptance rests on the outcome of a single match or moment of your own gameplay.

You might recognize Sailor Swayze’s style from her comic about gatekeeping in the nerd community, the fame of which she’s humorously responded to here. See the whole comic (only half is displayed above) right here.

Ultimate Sci-Fi Supercut Has Superheroes, Explosions, Light Cycles Aplenty [VIDEO]

Man, this montage of 100+ sci-fi movies really makes me want to catch up on all the sci-fi flicks I’ve yet to see (inexcusably, in some cases) and rewatch all those I already know and love. You can never watch Jurassic Park too many times. It’s a physical impossibility. And it’s been a while since I’ve seen 2001: A Space Odyssey. And Metropolis. And Independence Day

Might be time for a movie marathon!

Skyfall‘s Naomie Harris had something interesting to say when asked in an interview with The Huffington Post about the possibility of a black James Bond. Namely, that fellow Londoner Idris Elba (The Wire, Thor, Prometheus, Pacific Rim) might be up for the role after Daniel Craig leaves.

Nikola Tesla Museum Might Actually be Happening; Science History Geeks the World Over Rejoice

Ladies and gentlemen: We are one step closer to a Nikola Tesla museum.

In case you haven’t been following the efforts of The Oatmeal‘s Matthew Inman and the non-profit group previously know as Friends of Science East to turn the final laboratory of the eccentric genius and inventor of alternating current into the Tesla Science Center, here’s a brief summary: In 2009 the Agfa Corporation, which owned the Long Island site on which Tesla’s Wardenclyffe estate is situated, put the property up for sale. Using crowdfunding, Inman hoped to raise $850,000 to go towards purchasing the property, which was listed at $1.6 million. He breezed past that mark in six days and eventually went on to raise $1.4 million. And last Friday Friends of Science East, now known as the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, officially bought the property.

Take that, Thomas Edison Center.
