Best thing I have seen in weeks

I have seen all kinds of cool stuff in the last few weeks. Videos, TV shows, movies. But I think this just might be the neatest thing I have seen in a few weeks. It just made me smile.

Footage from Star Trek (TOS), made into a video for William Shatner's "Common People", from his album "Has Been" - released 2004. Just brilliant.

It's That Time Again...

Winter is ...Coming?

"April showers bring forth May flowers". Or so the old saying goes. This is what we here in Edmonton woke up to this morning.

What could cause this kind of weather so far into Spring? Global warming messing with the weather patterns, a simple weather anomaly created by some cold front being pulled down from the north, or maybe the last gasp of the Progressive Conservatives collective psyche. lashing out one last time. Whatever the cause, we that live in the North are no stranger to these odd weather occurrences.

My own theory. Only one thing I can think of causes this kind of sudden cold weather...new neighbours are coming.

...now where did i put that piece of dragon glass.

May The 4th Be With You!

Happy Star Wars day to all the fans of that "galaxy far far away" that George Lucas introduced us to all those years ago.

It's a pretty good time to be a Star Wars fan. The first of a new batch of movies is due out in December, the "Star Wars; Rebels" TV show seems to be doing well, as well as Marvel putting out a whole bunch of new Star Wars comics.

While there are lots of cool stories and ideas form the "expanded universe" that I will miss as these new movies re-write the story, I just have to remind myself that just because they won't be considered canon any longer that doesn't mean that they aren't good stories. Never the less, its still a good time to be a lover of all things Star Wars.

First Contact Day!

To All the Star Trek fans out there...happy "First Contact" day! The fifth of April 2063, the day in Star Trek lore the Vulcans made first contact with Earth.

R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy

As a old long time fan of Star Trek I was very sad to here of the passing of Mr, Leonard Nimoy,

 A talented actor, he suffered the same problem of type casting that many other actors on the show did. Maybe to a greater degree more because the character of Mr. Spock was so iconic and connected with the show. Many will forget he was also a successful director, singer and photographer. One more of the original crew gone. Farewell Mr. Spock....you will be missed.

Nappy New Year!

The very best to everyone! Hope your holidays were peaceful and full of joy, and the very best to you in the new year!
