I think I mentioned them before, where nano technology powered by wireless signals sent from a mind reading machine attached to a human was the basis of magic.  Now I’m looking into some more cool stuff, and another idea I’ve gotten is for this is to have the surrounding planets in the solar system of [...]

Yay!

Now if only this show was coming out on DVD as well-

Ah, childhood.

Ian Sales posted this awhile ago, and I’ve been thinking about it off and on:
