    Tenth Doctor/Rose cameo in Mr. Peabody & Sherman?

    Judging from this trailer, there were certainly a few Doctor Who fans working for Mr. Peabody and Sherman. So was it just my imagination, or was there a brief shot of the Tenth Doctor and Rose towards the end of the movie, when all that mayhem was breaking loose in New York?

    Extended Peter Davison interview

    This popped up in my Twitter feed today: http://jgoverflow.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-november-2013-interview-with-peter.html It's an extended interview with Peter Davison from late last year. He talks about the 50th, conventions, being the Doctor, and a few other things. I just thought people...

    I saw Endeavour!!!

    I took my kids to see Endeavour in LA this weekend. The California Science Center itself was great, with plenty of space relics (including Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo capsules/command modules) and lots of other stuff, too. But Endeavour was just...incredible. Those main engines are BIG! And...

    Incredible inconsistency in "Concerning Flight"

    Well, I'm being a little melodramatic in the title, but bear with me. After the aliens transport Voyager's stuff, including the computer core, Paris says, "It feels like we just got mugged." How would he know what it feels like to get mugged? I thought the Federation was a post-scarcity...

    Anyone do epub files with InDesign?

    I'm exporting an epub file from InDesign for a book, and I keep getting funky little errors. Tables that are centered show up as left-justified, the spacing between tables and text is off, and, worst of all, all the photos/captions are at the end of the chapter. The last time I did a book, I...

    Mind Meld Motive (SPOILER)

    Something I was wondering about when I saw the movie...why do you think Spock melded with Pike as he (Pike) was mortally wounded? I wasn't sure if it was just scientific curiosity or genuine empathy. In other words, did he meld because he wanted to feel what Pike was feeling to increase his...

    What precisely is a "Geordie?"

    I've got to confess that my education has...certain gaps. I just had a gentleman from the northeast of England in my office talking quite animatedly about a man who he's researching who was a "Geordie." Apparently he's also looking into something called the "Geordie Mafia." When he said that, I...

    What's the worst they could do?

    I had an interesting thought this morning. Yes, there's a first time for everything, but that's besides the point. Anyway, while thinking about Trek2013, I thought to myself, "What's the worst that could happen?" And I was rewarded with a vision of what would be my own personal cinematic Trek...

    Anyone else tried Spotify?

    I got an invite to try Spotify free courtesy of Klout, and I kind of like it. There's a huge library and a decent interface. The one negative is the ads, which I'd never see if I upgraded to Premium $5/month. Anyone else tried it?

    Buying a new computer

    I'm at about the end of my rope with my circa 2005 Dell Inspiron ME051, which has a 1.40 Ghz processor and 504 MB of RAM. Pretty much all I run on it is a web browser (firefox or chrome), MS Word (or Excel or PP), and maybe Tweetdeck. The thing is just incredibly slow, to the point where it...

    Laptop cooling pads/fans: Do they work?

    I'm thinking about getting a cooling pad for my Dell laptop, which gets incredibly hot at times and slows down to a crawl. Do these things really help performance and extend the life of your laptop? I've been poking around (mostly reviews for products on Amazon and Newegg) but haven't been able...

    Shatnertage's Mostly-1st-Time Watch Thread

    Hi there, Niners! Shatnertage here. I've just wrapped up a thread on the Voyager forum detailing my experiences watching that show for mostly the first time, and at the urging of folks on and off TBBS I'm going to spend the next few months watching Deep Space Nine. I haven't posted much in this...

    Photo sharing site?

    Here's a question for everyone: I've got a lot of family photos I want to share, but only with family and friends, so instead of putting them on my Facebook account (which is mostly work-related) or my flickr account (which is all work-related), I'm thinking of opening an account with another...

    What if Neelix had been Kazon?

    For some reason this question popped into my head yesterday, and I'd like to know what others think. First of all, I'll admit into evidence that, yes, the Kazon were manque Klingons with bad hair. But we're not talking real Kazon here, we're talking about my fantasy Kazon. Just imagine that...

    Get well Tora Ziyal

    We didn't send flowers to her hospital room, so this might be a nice way to show our support for Tora Ziyal--a thread full of get-well wishes when she logs back on to TBBS. I'll start by offering my best wishes for a speedy recovery. :)

    A modest request

    On the off chance that anyone associated with the film is reading this, and is seeking creative input from someone with no screenwriting credits to date, I've got a small request: Could the ship be up and running with a full crew complement when the movie starts? Obviously, with the last film...

    Has your crotch ever been the most interesting thing in the room?

    Since we're all sharing our daily foibles here, I thought people might get a kick out of this one. This morning my daughter decided that, while we were at the rec center, she just had to stop by a class we're not signed up for this session, but have taken before. Since the teacher apparently...

    The War Games: Awesome, but I've got questions

    I just finished watching this. Actually I skipped episodes 4-6, so some of this might have been answered. And this was a great episode that really holds up well. Or, as my wife said, "It was better than the one with the Seventh Doctor and the green baby." It's a great, ambitious story...

    Maqui-berry

    So we took the little one to Yogurtland yesterday, and saw that they have a new flavor: maqui-berry. Sure, it's missing an s, but it's pronounced the same. According to Y-L's facebook page, it's a rare Chilean anti-oxidant powerhouse. Am I a complete geek for thinking, at first, it would be...

    Anyone else watch the Larry Sanders Marathon

    on IFC? This was one of my favorite comedies when it first aired, and it seems even funnier now. From a Trek perspective, I guess that Larry/Hank/Artie make a twisted version of the Kirk/Spock/McCoy "Big Three."
