A return to the moon, and imaging of extra-solar planets.

So people are worried about confusing her with The Big Red Cheese? Why not change her name to Captain Miracle? Or better yet, Miraclewoman? (Opens box of live bees and backs quietly away)

The Fifth Element. Great Techno score, and the Diva's song is in a league by itself.

My neighbor is a contractor who does all kind of cool stuff for us. When his 7year old iMac g5 stopped working I offered to take it in to be checked. They always treat me great when I go in. After 7 years the only thing broken was a batch of capacitors. They replaced them for $90 (my treat to pay back the guy) and he…

Step behind this fluoroscope, my dear. Lets use the power of advanced radium science to show how you've been harming your health.

Imagine, a fence 11 feet high, 2,000 miles, and as thick as a joint. Wow! That would be...pathetic. A stiff breeze or a lawn sprinkler could bring it down.

Supposedly a land ruled by the amazon queen Califia.

Oakland is always Oakland, baby!

The DS9 Tribble one was great!

wow. I forgot this one. ugh.

You know a Trek series is at the end of it's life and low on budget when they have mind swaps or are taken over mentally. "I've got a great idea! Let's have the actors act like they're someone else!" DS9 turned it on it's head with the James Bond holodeck fantasy, and got away with it.

"Removing regional features." These would be crater on mountains and in ravines? I do have to say I'm surprised a scientific paper would refer to the "dark side," instead of the "far side." (Okay, insert Gary Larson joke here.)

One of the shows you have to get on your watch list is the Aquabats show on the Hub. They're (finally) on their second season of low-budget-cornball hi-larity. This is my new obsession, and a fabulous show.

FYI, I hate autocorrect. It sound like me no speak word good.

A handful of people are contemplating scenarios is pretty darn close to totally unexpected. Lets take asteroid collision as an example. There have been any number of people warning about rocks from space, but its taken a darn long time for any civil authority to see this as a real problem and contemplate real-world…

In the 1980s it wouldn't have an name as odd as Wikipedia. It would've been something with flash, and hinting at a hip corporation backing it up. Something like Encyclocator, or The Knowledge Factory, (or Encarta).

I was a kid in high school when the first film came out, and the comics preceded the film. I'd heard a rumor that the Marvel letterer (whose name escapes me) designed the logo, and was only paid standard Marvel logo fee of $25. The rumor was Lucas liked it, picked it up, and the artist wasn't paid a cent more. These…

So glad Chris Columbus is NOT directing tis movie. He has the anti-midas touch where every kids film he touches turns to lead. This one looks as good as the last one looked bad. And Annabeth is blond again! The books are quick reads, but awfully fun. Hopefully this one has Riordan's sense of humor too.

Arggh. Need to have some meet ups a little later in the evening. Anyway, have fun.

So many of his short stories of the time hold up better for me. Less plot building, more fun playing in the world.
