Double Time by Peter David My rating: 4 of 5 stars Not a bad story. It involves the timey-whimeyness of time-travel, and a crew that I am not all that familiar with, but connector characters like the timeship Relativity and Captain Braxton make an appearance which make it feel more connected to other parts of Trek. I was way more excited that I probably should be when I turned the

The Looking Glass War by Mike W. Barr My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was an interesting mirror universe (but not THAT mirror universe) story. Mirror Odo is murdered and this kicks off an armed conflict between the dominion and the federation. Someone comes from the mirror universe to enlist Odo-prime's help to stop the war, and to unmask the murdered. Who dunnit? View all my reviews

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, The Celebrity Series, The Rules Of Diplomacy #1 by Aron Eisenberg My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is more of a review for the collected story (not just #1).  I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this much, but it was a rather fun tale of Nog playing host to a Klingon ambassador's kid (an ambassador in training?) and showing him around Ferengi culture on

Lightstorm / Terok Nor by Mark A. Altman My rating: 4 of 5 stars One of the stories was about the building of Terok Nor, a joint effort between a Bajoran prisoner and a Cardassian architect, brought together by their interest in building things. A tentative "friendship" (perhaps understanding is the word?) flourishes, and in the end they both die. The Cardassian having been erased

Every month Google sends me a note indicating what data it has collected about my comings and goings. I guess Google also likes to remind me that I don't go very far these days due to the COVID emergency 😜. Considering that I usually walk this distance (and that I didn't have a car in May), this ain't bad at all.

Καλό μήνα σε όλους!  Απ'οτι βλεπετε στον Μάιο δεν έγραψα και πολλά...αλλά μεταξί το τέλος του εξαμήνου, τον κορονοϊό, και την εξεταστική για την διδακτορική (candidacy exam) έπεσαν όλα μαζεμένα.  Το καλοκαίρι όμως θα μπλογκάρω...που

Κοίτα να δείς που ήρθε και ο Μαίος... Θα κάνουμε καλοκαίρι με τον κορονοιό φέτος; Ή όλοι καραντίνα;

Χριστός Ανέστη :-)

I came across this on Reddit a while back.  I still miss my iPod classic.  It had such a great user interface, you could easily just play any sort of song you wanted, and the beauty of it was that the clickwheel model allowed you to have one-hand control of the device without even looking at it, so you could focus on driving.  This reimagined UI for the iPod Classic should definitely

I rather enjoyed the first Guacamelle, so since Guacamelee 2 was available on GamePass, I thought - why not? This sequel picks up the story after the first one ends, and it's not just a rehash or reskin of the first one, but rather it adds a variety of new game mechanics, such as being able to launch yourself from different areas of the wall so you can hurl over dangers on the ground or reach
