A few things related in some way to Georgia (the US state) and science fiction:

And a couple of mentions of said state:
"Dixie Mae had grown up in Southern California, but she’d been born in Georgia–and she was proud of her roots."
“This is a new artifact designed and executed by five previously out-of-work engineers in Athens, Georgia. They’ve mated a tiny Linux box with some speaker-independent continuous speech recognition software, a free software translation engine that can translate between any of twelve languages, and an extremely high-resolution LCD that blocks out words in the path of the laser-pointer.
“Turn this on, point it at a wall, and start talking. Everything said shows up on the wall, in the language of your choosing, regardless of what language the speaker was speaking.”
