As Christmas rolls around once again - isn't it strange how it happens every year? - blogger Kenneth Newquist is preparing to decorate "the Geek Tree", a winterval paean to SF. In his own words:
It's a Christmas tree with a speculative fiction theme. And what's sepculative fiction? Speaking broadly, it's a uber-genre comprised of science fiction, fantasy and horror, though in the case of the Geek Tree, it's primarily sci-fi.
This year, he's planning to add the Hogwort's Express, Starship Enterprise 1701 and possibly the ship from Firefly/Serenity. Good lord.
Our tree at home, which isn't up yet, is usually adorned with all manner of bizarre crap (last year it heavily featured elephants and was topped by a toy flamingo) and I bought some particularly satanic looking Santas from a shop in Kenya last week. But nothing as stupendous as Ken's efforts, though unfortunately he doesn't include pictures... you'll just have to use your imagination.
