Science fiction inventions. Sort them by date, author, or by category. I have a feeling some things are missing, but it's rather interesting to campare old sci-fi invention with real-life gadgets of today. ¶

I got an e-mail from Ana and Pedro at Blogo, concerning my comments about those webdesign awards. They explain the obvious and the understandable - e-mail votes are easier to control, however from 200 visits a day to that page only 46 people did send a vote, which is on par with my experience - people generally don't e-mail unless they got a gun pointed to their heads. Considering Cafeína and its 500 visitors per day, you can see there's massive lurking in there. Anyway, awards don't have much value since they are inherentely flawed. Sometimes these flaws prevent you from having a better chance, others these flaws will benefit you - take the film festival we won last week... ¶
