Hey, all! Yeah, I've been MIA a bit. But encountered two things too nifty not to share, even before making an attempt to get caught up.

First: Victorian Star Trek. I am deeply in love with this -- great 'shoppery (oh, and perfectly respectable/SFW ( Read more... )

So I went around town doing errands and ended up cutting through the Mall. On a whim, I wandered into the Hallmark store to see what geeky Christmas ornaments were new for 2010. I nearly choked when I saw that one of the Star Trek ornaments is based on "Amok Time."

Because, of course, nothing says "Happy Holidays" like pon farr ( Read more... )

At least this is automatically better than the Burger King perfume -- and the names/catchphrases are a scream:

From a link given by LMB on her email list, here's a portion of a Q&A session she held with fans recently. Lots of material about the Sharing Knife series, for the fans of that series. ( Read more... )

Well, sorta -- a *very* young John Barrowman interviews William Shatner about a then-new Trek movie. Rather mind-blowing . . . though probably not as much so as if the same interview were being conducted *now,* with JB's Cap'n Jack persona more firmly developed. He could give Shatner a run for his money in the cheesetastic Captain stakes these ( Read more... )
