New Trek

The new Star Trek movie is an excellent movie. Science fiction is just the setting. The story matters. JJ Abrams did a great job with this one. Nice plot, good acting, great special effects that did not steal the show. I am going to see this one again, and again. When the Dodgers leave town, that is...

Across the Universe

The two part Menagerie will be playing in 300 theaters around the USA on Tuesday, November 13th to promote the HD-DVD version of Star Trek episodes. Might be fun watching an old 4x3 TV episode on the big screen. They are still casting younger actors for the latest movie. Zachary Quinto of Heroes' Sylar as Spock and Chris Pine is considering the role of Kirk. Korean-American actor John Cho as Sulu, and Simon Pegg as Scotty. Star Trekkin' is still alive.

The Replicator is Near

I was sitting in the dentist office yesterday afternoon, to have some work finished up, when I pick up last June's Popular Science and start reading about Fabricating Items at Home OMG, need a replacement Lego piece? Want to create that perfect chocolate confection? Just 3-D print it! Okay, so the flashlight took about eight hours to print, still hobbyist and inventors alike will love to have one of these twenty four hundred dollar kit printers in their home shop. The days of the Star Trek Replicator are getting closer, and yes I asked if I could take the magazine home. Twenty years from now, you may just shop for patterns online, download them into your 3-D printer and produce the item in your own home.

'Cause it's fun to be a geek

Every wonder how the sci-fi enterprise would look over a city scape?
Well, a couple of folks have:
