A return to historic futures

After dropping our forward looking print edition and the revolutionary WWJJD club mix, we thought we’d return to an old an classic theme:  the way we used to imagine the future.  First, we’d like to share a glorious reimagining of Carl Sagan’s imagination, and second in an historical future of roboviolence and mechanical geopolitics.

Now wasn’t that glorious.  Personally I can’t wait for the galaxy-rise

Now this, from the July 28, 1935 issue of San Antonio Light – San Antonio TX.

Now, if only our robots were as good at writing dissertations as they were at shooting guns, we’d be in great shape.

A note from Ned Ludd, Technical Support: The old blog style, though potentially really cool, didn’t really display things like this very well at all.  So we are taking a simpler approach.  Though this goes against all of our better instincts, we think this will work more instinctually.  Hopefully you enjoy the new style, or at least don’t hate it as much as we hate dealing with the old style.  Either way, we’d love to hear your comments.  In fact, we’d love to hear any indication that people exist outside of our idyllic retreat in the Canadian tundra.  Sometimes we wonder if the US health care system has catastrophically failed, leaving the whole country incapacitated by hedge-hog flu.
