Nesbitt notes
Notes to discuss with Greg Nesbitt (nonfiction).
See Nesbitt notes (archive) for older notes.
Archangel
Archangel - forthcoming graphic novel written by William Gibson. This could be some awesome shit. I can see tailoring Gnomon Chronicles for the same audience that buys Archangel.
Historical Person of Interest: Florence Violet McKenzie
1982: Electrical engineer Florence Violet McKenzie dies. She was Australia's first female electrical engineer, founder of the Women's Emergency Signalling Corps (WESC), and lifelong promoter for technical education for women. Fiction, she works with Henrietta Bolt during World War 2.
1942: Pilot and alleged time-traveller Henrietta Bolt works with Florence McMcKenzie on secret wartime communications protocol.
The Taking of Pelham 3.1415
Image needed, movie poster for The Taking of Pelham 3.1415.
Old movie poster excited to see new movie.
George Plimpton calls The Taking of Pelham 3.1415 "thrilling and informative ... computationally rewarding!"
The Noel Harrison Sensation
The Noel Harrison Sensation (or simply "The Sensation") is a transdimensional corporation which Noel Harrison uses to project his sensorium. Harrison usually manifests The Sensation as a movie poster, although he occasionally manifests as a life-size cardboard figure. Careful placement of The Sensation in space and time allows Harrison to privately experience gala openings of his films, his own theater performances, and other film- and theater-related events, without drawing undue attention to himself.
Alien (documentary)
1985: Ridley Scott calls his documentary film Alien "a brooding meditation on man's inhumanity to man." See also Do Blade-Runners Shave Their Electric Sheep? and Noctua's Revenge (documentary).
