What's On This Week Jan 28 - Feb 3
By any standards, this week is a big week on SCI FI. On Tuesday the 29th, 7.35pm, the final episode of Afterworld will screen. The end of an epic journey in both storytelling and cross media entertainment will mark the final note in Russell's less than excellent adventure. For those who've become die-hard fans through daily updates (or even podcasts) it'll be huge. On Wednesday the 30th, 10.30pm, it's the SCI FI premiere of Battlestar Galactica Season 2. Those who have been crying, nay, screaming,...
Proper Space Ships Ready For Blast Off!
Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic has unveiled models of the new SpaceShipTwo, the craft that will take six passengers (at $USD 200,000 a pop) and two crew into space for five minutes at a time.

Sounds lame, as far as precognition...
Ledger's Last Entry - The Dark Knight
Whilst the shock of Heath Ledger's sudden demise at his New York residence on Broome St begins to subside, the inevitable (if possibly heartless) question arises - will this affect The Dark Knight? Sources at Warner Bros have made assurances that principal photography has been completed, so no and yes. Obviously the ongoing character of The Joker will have to be re-cast for any future Batman films, and any 'pickups' or extra scenes are going to be tricky. That said, the film (and Ledger's excellent...
Optus Wireless Broadband – Roamer Usb Review
In this day and age of either hyper-complex gadgets or anyone, even a Hilton, can use it toys, new technology can either be a godsend or yet another thing to do in an already overly busy world. With all the fuss about broadband and the slow and inexorable build up of hatred for Telstra and their ‘line fees’, it seems only natural that a market should open up for mobile broadband. The nice people at Optus have a new dongle, which they call the Roamer USB. But is it to be trusted? Can it actually...
