Star Trek Horizon is out!

[SPOILERS - if you have not see it yet, go see it] A couple of summers ago, while driving around in Greece, I was listening to Trek.fm (best time to try new podcasts is when you are driving a lot!) In one of their shows (the continuing mission) they explore fan made productions that continue the stories set in the Trek universe - and Star Trek Horizon was one of these productions. After a long

Jurassic Trek files: The Velcron neckpinch

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the Vulcan neck pinch...although my favorite one of all time is still in Spaceballs: The Movie :-) (original archive here)

Retro-Futuristic: The Newton smartwatch

Every now and again you see some retro-inspired futuristic gadgets.  I am not sure where I came across this, but here it is - the Apple Newton Watch - complete with mini stylus ;-)  I wonder what the specs for this thing are...

It's super Tuesday! Go Vote!

I can't believe it's here!  Super Tuesday!  For those of you abroad, this is when a lot of states hold their primary elections (instead of having an election here and an election there in scattered form). This is usually when front-runner nominees show up. I can't believe that Trump is projected to win Massachusetts (I mean...seriously people!) Good thing I am independent and I can

The gameboy - hardware autopsy

This is a fun little video dissecting the Nintendo GameBoy.  As a kid I wouldn't have cared, however as an undergraduate computer science major this would have been fascinating to know back in the late 90s :-)  I remember programming in x86 assembly for one of my classes (and creating hardware for that same course that the code would run on!) :-)

More humor... star trek Xtreme!

I was listening to Earl Grey, one of the Trek.fm podcasts, this past week, and the topic of discussion was about a fictions scenario, a what if they had made an animated series out of Star Trek: The Next Generation in the 90s once the live action series was off the air.  It was a pretty funny episode to listen to, especially if you've seen the mess that is Star Trek the animated series...well...and

Video game music covers

I was listening to the VG Empire podcast the other day and the subject was music from the WarCraft games.  I've only really played Warcraft II back when I had my ol' trusty Performa 635CD, but the music from that game has stuck in my  head.   Recently I came across this cover of one of the songs that exemplifies that game's music for me :-). I remember playing a lot of

Boat of love the next generation

Something humorous found on facebook recently. A little parody of Star Trek: The Next Generation as the Love boat.  This seems like an SNL sketch (from the time before I watched it).  Look at those uniforms! ;-)

Μια πίτα σουβλάκι παρακαλώ!

Σήμερα το πρωί παρατήρησα πως στο google, όταν κάνεις μια αναζήτηση για το Supreme Court (το ομοσπονδιακό δικαστήριο των ΗΠΑ) το Google σου λέει πως μπορείς να υποβάλει παραγγελία μέσω foodler. Αναρωτιέμαι τι είδος κουζίνας έχουν ;-)
