Every year some social sites tend to a year in review with data from your activity on the networks.  This year is no different.  I thought I'd post some of the data that came my way.   Today I have some data from Untappd.  I started using Untappd in 2014 when I went to Edmonton for my Doctoral Cohort's initiation into the EdD program.  I was trying out new beers and

Χρόνια πολλα!  Καλή χρονιά, και ευτυχισμένο, δημιουργικό, γεμάτο χαρά, γέλια, και ταξίδια.  Ίσως φέτος να είναι μια καλή χρονία να αποφοιτήσουμε χα χα 😂

Star Trek: The Q Conflict by Scott Tipton My rating: 4 of 5 stars This issue of IDW's star trek comics brought together 4 supernatural beings (Q, and a 3 from the TOS era) as well as the crews of 4 series (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY).

Oh wait...I guess I forgot one. This was truly the last of my xbox 360 games that was not backwards compatible that I completed (I guess I can now put my 360 away for now...)  This game was completed on June 15, 2019 The plot from Wikipedia: Rearmed centers around two warring factions: the Federation and the Empire. It begins with the Imperial forces discovering classified documents
