Links of the week

Geek Girl Con - Geek girls ruled at San Diego Comic-Con this year.  There are a lot of us geek girls and awesome geek boys who get it.  Go visit the site for the brand new, lots to figure out but it will be awesome Geek Girl Con, and get involved!  (And don't even tell me about the comma misuse in that sentence).

Wheel of Time heavy metal theme - It sounds painful.  And it is maybe a little.  But the Wheel of Time was my first fantasy series; like my first love, I can't ever fully let it go.  So I clicked, and if you ever wished you had Aes Sedai powers, you should too.

Death ray sex toys - no, really.  Not so much safe for work.  Or kids. 


How to make ice planets - I'm planning a Serenity movie night, and many people suggested ice planets.  This website has a great tutorial.  I'll let you know how it goes when I make mine!

Formidable female protagonists in sci-fi - fantastic list of strong women in sci-fi novels and series; they also have links for female leads in sci-fi TV and movies.



Acrylic geek silhouette pendants - This seller on Etsy has silhouette pendants of not only the Enterprise, but other geeky symbols from Star Wars, science, and more.  I like the simple designs.
