This just in ... from Caprica

All the news that’s fit to … iPhone app?

Syfy has launched a Caprica-related iPhone app called, appropriately, The Caprican, which delivers up news, entertainment and sports headlines from the fictional society of Caprica itself, and the Twelve Colonies of Kobol.

It’s an intriguing endeavour that I find rather fun to read. What do you think, fellow iPhone users and Caprica and Battlestar Galactica fans?

iPhone: Cylon Bobbleheads rock!

Thursday, February 18, 2010

A while back NBC Universal released an awesomely fun app that has no practical purpose, but definitely amuses the unrepentant geek and BSG fan in me: Cylon Bobbleheads.

After launching the app, you choose either the old-style or new-style Cylon Centurion and then give your iPhone a little shake to make its head bobble. Even more awesome … it has sounds and it’s FREE!

Check out the screencaps:

About Me
Yes, I'll admit it. I love Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Macs, iPods, NASA, Wii, Xbox ... and about a dozen other things that qualify me for geek status. Oh, and then there's my love for all things Longhorn and the NFL...

The GalactiCubees

I've created a series of BSG-themed Cubees -- a paper art form that requires no glue or tape to assemble.

You can check out my GalactiCubees (and other BSG-related fanart) at my deviantART page.

Just A Thought

The candidate of choice for discerning BSG fans and voters! Actually, I've been musing lately about what would happen if people were to write-in Laura Roslin as their presidential candidate. Can't you just imagine the press coverage if a fictional character garnered a significant portion of the vote from real candidates?
BSG Quotes
Adama: [reading the opening of Love and Bullets] "It started like it always did. With a body. This one was in the river, and I could tell she had once been beautiful, but this bullet and fast current had taken away from her. All we are, or that we think we are, all that we are certain about, is taken away from us. When you've worked the streets and seen what I've seen, you become more and more convinced of it every day. Caprica City has been my teacher, my mistress. From the moment I opened my eyes, she is in my blood, like cheap wine. Bitter and sweet, tinged with regret. I'll never be free of her, nor do I wanna be, for she is what I am. All that is, should always be."
