    Site Genres 

    Recently, I was talking with some coworkers of mine and I was explaining my opinion that there are really only three main genres of sites that I can think of.

    1. Entertainment
    2. Reference
    3. Application

    Thinking Differently: A Story 

    Another story that I have no idea of the origin, but it exemplifies my love of thinking outside the box (to use an exhausted cliché).

    Stikfas 

    Basic Stikfa Stikfas are, without a doubt, the coolest freaking toy I’ve seen in many, many years. Exceptionally articulated plastic figures that are simple, easy to assemble, and just plain freaking COOL.

    And cheap. The basic ninja figure is only $7 and just lots of fun to play with. I have some wacky ideas of project to attempt with these figures (stop-motion animation comes to mind immediately).

    Take a look and, if you’re willing, drop a few buck to play with one. They are well worth the cash. I picked mine up at Emerald City Comics in Seminole, FL. yesterday and keep stopping what I’m working on to play with the little buggers.

    Science Fiction Setting 

    In the early 21st century, an anonymous person under the handle ‘Captain Gravity’ posted detailed mathematical formula detailing how gravity worked as well as plans for a primitive gravity manipulation machine. The debates in academic circles lasted months. Two years later, the first physical prototype gravity engine was publicly unveiled, assembled by General Electric. The gravity engine, codenamed Archeoptryx, lifted into the South Pacific sky and into the history books where it hovered for almost twelve minutes before settling to the ground. Archeoptryx was a titanium ring wrapped around a faraday cage of rare-earth magnets and thirty-two types of metallic wire. Within the cage was housed both the engine and the massive power supply. The ring was eighteen feet across and the cage was slightly thinner, only fourteen feet.

    Colony Ship Alpha 

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but an idea I’ve never read about in any science fiction is the reversal of the classic concept of a colony ship.

    The basic premise resides around a race of intelligent extra-terrestrials that have launched their first intergalactic expedition. These aliens have roughly the same level of technology as humans, a little more advanced in some places, a little behind in others, but have geared their country/planet to exploring space much like the United States when Kennedy announced that we Americans would be the first people on the moon.
