JohnDF's Return to Work GAW

"LNIT"

 

That's a beautiful knife. I'm in.

Though I have a love/hate relationship with them, my inner geek still marvels at the modern wonder that is the smartphone. For a kid who came of age in the mid-90s, they are nothing less than the communicator, PADD, and tricorder made real.



Sorry for mixing up my sci-fi universes.

 

Just havin' a little fun. I wish I had the knife, but I stole the pic.
OG

 

That sounds like a wonderful summer John Hope the return to the chalk-face is not too harsh That is a beautiful knife, and this is a very generous giveaway - well done Not an entry from me, if you don't mind, but I will try and find a couple of pics

 

I'm not into Sci-Fi but I've been told this Space Alien is seen quite often on our property.



Scary looking huh?

 

Fun giveaway, John!

I also teach Middle and High School (logic and rhetoric, though, not math), and I have often read I, Robot by Isaac Asimov to my middle school logic students. I also read the Frank Herbert Dune saga with relish (although, I'll admit, I lost some love for them after the fourth book), and enjoyed both versions of the movies.

I just finished for the 2nd time, C.S. Lewis' Sci-Fi Trilogy, which is also marvelous, albeit different from most sci-fi. I grew up on Star Trek and Star Wars, as well (but there are some more obscure things I could get into, but I won't lest I clog the thread!).

What are you favorite sci-fi books/movies?

 

Ok, so second entry represents one the more obscure sci-fi television series I've enjoyed. I wonder if you'll recognize it??



This little guy is also a hint at the title.

Way to go on the fun giveaway, and congratulations on the even more fun summer you've had yourself.
Good luck to all who enter for a chance at this beautiful knife you're giving away.

 

Since Sci-Fi stands for science fiction do alien abductions actually count?? If so, I’m going to remove the tinfoil from my windows and wait. I’ll have a couple of knives on me along with my cell phone for some killer selfies with the little Grey men and their spaceship. I’ll even see if they’re willing to trade me for one of their traditional laser knives too!!!

 

Non entry

The Village People Go To Mars?

 

What do you know, this Queen Xenomorph is a Guardian of the Lambsfoot, sporting a 2018 Guardian's Edition from A. Wright and Sons!

 

I’m in for this, I’m sure I got something sci-fy related so this is just to save my spot and send me updates. Good luck folks.

I have to ask, do you find it difficult to get kids excited about math these days ? When I was a kid I was fascinated with it but no one encouraged us back then so I never pursued it beyond an idle curiosity.

Just curious if there’s anyone outside of the sciences and engineering fields who are interested in abstract numbers and all that math you can’t see but can prove.

 

Not an entry.

 

I started as a math and science student, but when I realized that I'm a wizard and my work is in the realm of the spirit, I began to apply my knowledge and understanding of the physical, quantified explanations of reality to constructs like Karma, interpersonal chemistry, etc. I used to teach yoga classes, and regularly my lessons featured something from Algebra, Calculus, basic Quantum Mechanics and Newtonian Mechanics. It was a lot of fun.

 

A classic, very well done for its time-Klattu veraddo nikto

Got pics of my prized copies of F&SF,containing Venus on the Half Shell, by Kilgore Trout. Pics are on Flickr, which is really hard to work with.
