Just like before, there seem to be a lot of English language tracks on the Norwegian charts. The top for this past week is as follows: The Weeknd by Starboy feat. Daft Punk Verdict: Not bad. I like the music video (visuals).  The song itself seems, to me anyway, as a good song to drive to.  That said, I am not sure I am crazy about the "hey! here I am! Look at me! I am the new kid

Ah yes...that long...long...long intro scene in the motion picture.  Good fanboyism in the day, but seriously - too long! (original archive here)

I had started this game in Madrid, once I had finished with the first in the series (China), but being back home also means a lot less time for games ;-) In any case, picking away at it a little at a time means that progress was made in completing it (sounds like a parallel for dissertation writing, eh? ;-) ). The game follows Arbaaz Mir in Amritsar (India) in 1841, in the midst of a war between

One of the reasons to get the dissertation done sooner rather than later ;-)

Αυτόν τον περασμένο Σεπτέμβρη έκλεισα 15 χρόνια στο πανεπιστήμιο Βασικά, είμαι στο πανεπιστήμιο 18 χρόνια, αλλά τα πρώτα τρία ήταν «μερικής απασχόλησης» όπως το αποκαλούν σήμερα όσο ήμουν φοιτητής, οπότε δεν «πιάνονται».

Well... I guess this particular one is confirmed (at least on Trek.fm's Babel Conference page) as being defunct.  The video production was cancelled (for whatever reason), and I guess it's not going back to its "roots" as an audio drama?  Let's see if it flies.  Disappointing :-/

I don't know if this technically counts as a song...but it's got a beat, and it's got words...so I guess it might be one? This was discovered while watching @midnight (a comedy web-culture show) this morning. Japan (?) PPAP ペンパイナッポーアッポーペン「ロング」バージョン by PIKOTARO(ピコ太郎) Verdict: No words are sufficient to describe this... just "LOL" I guess?

We've now moved on to the Movie-Era TOS comic strips.  This on comes from the Motion Picture, which is parodied as "the slow motion picture".  Commentary on this is interesting.  I remember watching the motion picture and I found it odd that they needed to mention the oath of celibacy - It is the future, and starfleet is a military organization (in some part) - why bother? :-/ (original

Μπράβο παιδιά! Τα καταφέραμε!
