Geeky Furniture

Science Fiction (something else we'll be addressing...) is great. Really it is. It's where the future is great and people have woven technology into their lives completely and it actually works. Mostly.

Even better are the props. The iconic elements of Sci Fi are almost holy objects that don't really exist. Well, they DO exist because someone in the art department made it from foam and fiberglass but who gets their hands on this? The Executive Producer, Director or someone else from the studio but not you and I.

But sometimes the force is so strong with a person, they decide to just make their own. Either a carbonite table with Han Solo in it or a whole apartment that looks like a set from Star Trek. Or... Kirk's chair.

For most IT people, Digging the post where someone did it is enough but there's always the guy (because you know women have better things to do than to build this sort of stuff) who takes it this (too) far. We are both in awe and fear of these people. And rightfully so, they can make carbonite...
