The Future Belongs to the Nerds

In fact the present probably does too.

Is it engineers and racing drivers that develop cars today? Of course not, it’s software developers, writing a billion lines of code. Every part of modern life is controlled by code writers, and even those that seem cool now got to where they did by being massive nerds, however much they try to reinvent the person of their past.

Cue TFDesigns! aka Frost, who has entered this year’s Febrovery annual build-off (itself a pretty nerdy thing) with his ‘Futuron MoLab’; a big white box designed purely for science. What science we’re not told, but it looks really very nerdy indeed, so it must be important. Probably a new advert algorithm for Facebook or something.

Whatever it’s up to there’s more to see at Frost’s photostream – join the nerds writing the future via the link above.

Lego Futuron Space Tank

The peaceful Futuron people from LEGO’s veteran space era seem to have got a whole lot more fighty in recent times. Suggested by a reader this mighty Futuron space tank comes from previous bloggee and Master MOCer Andrea Lattanzio aka Norton 74, and it’s here to finally kick some Blacktron ass.

We’re going to use this post to suggest that despite their longstanding bitterness the black side and the white side are actually exactly the same underneath their spacesuits, and that guns do not, have never, and never will, solve any community division. Seriously America, the rest of world is watching and wondering what the hell you’re doing to each other.

Anyway, you can check out Futuron’s bold new militarised direction at Norton’s photostream – click here to take a look.
