I See Your Starship is as Big as Mine
Feb 24th
I haven’t talked about Star Trek lately. I probably don’t talk about it enough in general. Paramount should offer of a network of Star Trek blogs like StarWars.com does, then I could talk about it every day. Oh well. I could probably make my own network (I’m sure I could, actually) but the upkeep cost More >

Chris Hemsworth as Thor – He was cool as James Kirk’s daddy in Star Trek. Otherwise, don’t know much about him. Apparently he’s bigger in Australia or something. Might be More >
Junk Drawer: Micro-Heroes – Old Template
Oct 16th
I got a folder on my server called “zzzfiles” which I use to store a bunch of junk I don’t know what to do with but don’t necessarily want to delete either. It occurred to me today I can just as easily store most of its content on my blog, thereby streamlining my file keeping More >
Galactic Surprise
Oct 13th
The Girl turned 30 this week. Or, as she puts it, she celebrated her first anniversary of being 29. We celebrated on her actual birthday with a little party at our house, so that The Kid could participate. My mom and in-laws were all in attendance. Then the plan was to More >
Awkward
Sep 24th
Was out deliverying a shipment to Hayward for work yesterday. On the way back, saw a Toys R’ Us and couldn’t resist. (Still working on that growing up thing.) I was actually looking for a “first toy” to get The Dude, but didn’t find anything that struck my fancy. There was, however, a huge Star More >
Fair’s Fair
Sep 22nd
Went to the fair last weekend. Was it the Santa Cruz County Fair? I don’t know, the one in Watsonville. Went with the family and family-in-law. Much less crowded than it was last year, and we went on a Saturday as opposed to last year’s Sunday night. Is the economy affecting fairs throughout the country More >
Beeps and Whistles
Sep 10th
UPDATE: Replaced screen shot photos with 3-D renderings by John Jongsma where available.
Astromech droids are cool. I want one. I want them all. All the R-series models produced by Industrial Automaton , at any rate. If I had one, I bet I would never have to do dishes again, even though they can’t reach the More >
Name That Bot
Sep 2nd
UPDATE: THE LIST IS COMPLETE! w00t!
Chop Shop has a great t-shirt called weRobot that features the silhouette of “51 celebrity robots pulled from popular culture references from literature, film, tv, cartoon, children’s literature, video games and even rock music.” Of course I want, but more importantly, I wanted to be able to name all 51 More >
Ultimate Star Trek
May 11th
Went to see Star Trek opening day last week (or course) with my buddy. I found, going in, that my enthusiasm wasn’t that high. I think I mostly went because I didn’t want everyone asking me if I went, and also it just seemed obligatory. But I was honestly feeling kind of burnt out on More >
The Trilogy Meter
Mar 10th
Swiped from Dan Meth via Veronica Belmont, I agree with this, give or take a few minor adjustments. Oh and I still haven’t seen any of the Godfather series. I know, I suck and don’t deserve to live!
