The future is saved 200KB at a time.

A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the late 70s and early 80s.

Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

Cumulate rock

Cumulate rocks are plutonic rocks in which cumulus minerals have been concentrated during the cooling of the magma chamber.

This sample of cumulate rock is composed by interstitial plagioclase (white), called intercumulus, and pyroxene (dark-coloured in the hand sample and brownish in thin section), called cumulus. In thin section, we can also see biotite and opaque minerals.

ALIEN (1979)

Wardlaw Museum article

I really enjoyed writing an article for In Focus Magazine on the Wardlaw Museum's Alien Worlds exhibition. The place is great fun to visit. Thanks to all the help from Museums of the University of St Andrews and Arjen Anthony Lucassen! The article will explore the museum, music and a lot of space science, both real and fictional!
