'Farscape' came out when I was just finishing my postdoc and starting my faculty position - I missed it completely, in other words. I've since gotten the Starburst editions of the seasons and watched about 3/4s of the episodes. I still have most of the fourth season to go. We're almost finished our 'Firefly' watch with our daughter; I'm thinking 'Farscape' will be the next TV series to tackle with Alia (in and around the new Doctor Who season episodes).

The Cult of Nimoy - I hadn't heard about the existence of this cult. Where are the meetings, what are the mystical passwords required, and is it known for any exotic rituals? I'm imagining new inductees require the ritual burning of a Shatner toupee, abducted directly from the man's head, under the flickering glow of a video montage of every instance of Spock saying "Live long and prosper".

Well, I was using cult in a loose and somewhat tongue-in-cheek sense. meaning, he's utterly bow tie, and a lot of people know it.

Yes! Down with the Shat!

Nimoy's wonderful. The Bruno Mars video he did last year was bow-tie...

Speaking of Star Trek, did you see Google today? :D

I can only reach iGoogle. So...nope. But I can guess.

The google logo today is a tribute to Star Trek. It is said there are three inner bits to it, but it won't work for me.

I love reading your musings, and adore the pictures you and Spooky take.
