*blows dust off account* Hello all. I was wondering what the current options are for TOS production run light animations for model kits. I am interested in 1000 scale and 350 scale options. I was trying to see what Thomas Sasser’s 1000 scale products were going for these days and was saddened...

I see the board has changed drastically since I last posted. I almost didn't sign in because I thought it might be a phishing attempt. Anyway, Is TNZ still around? I don't think I can properly discuss this election without swearing. Oh wow, looks like I haven't posted in 2 1/2 years. I'm...

It's 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon only we connect people to the Shat instead. Rules are simple: 1. Theatrical movies only and casting credits only. 2. IMDB, wikipedia, etc to be used for dispute resolution only. (No real way to enforce this, but it makes the game more fun.) 3. When you post...

So I'm broke, getting behind on bills, etc. I've been job seeking ever since we found out our second child was on the way. He's 5-months-old today. We have reached and passed the point of desperation. BUT, tomorrow I interview for a nice position that's in my field and actually pays better...

So my wife and I have been watching Quantum Leap through and it's like a whole new series to us as we remember maybe 1 out of 10 episodes from the original run. After a surprise appearance by Dax in the very enjoyable A Leap for Lisa, we were definitely looking forward to Season 5 when we...

In an hour and a half I'll be interviewing for a position selling cell service and Dish Network at the local Verizon affiliate. If I'm hired, I'll be closing up my video production full-time office and working a full time job for someone else for the first time ever. I'm a little worried...

A couple of hours ago my wife and I ran into the bathroom to find a very faint second pink line. So, she went out and bought another test. This one had a digital readout and quite unambiguously says "Pregnant" on its little screen. So, my little four-year-old is now a big sister. My wife...

...will eventually become Ms. Frizzle. *Warning the following musings may contain spoilers up to and including "A Good Man Goes to War" Ok, stay with me now. Ms. Frizzle is a feisty red-headed milf of very mysterious origins who hasn't aged a day in 25 years. She has in her possession...

Impossible Astronaut spoilers ahead:

A friend of mine has just released his first ebook. It's called Prismatica and it is a collection of vignettes that tell a fantasy-ish story. I thought some of you might be interested. This is a small companion to a fantasy novel he's releasing in a few months.

Why did I hear this from Cracked!? (#5, 2nd down on the page) In all my years here, this has never come up before! We, as a community, have failed one another. ETA: Link is PG-13, but possibly NSFW

Ok, these are clearly not trek-related, but I wanted to share them anyway. This humble little ceiling fan is quite possibly my first complete 3D model. I've tinkered in 3D here and there before, mainly with Blender. But way back in '04 I got the student version of Lightwave 8 for Christmas...

I'm looking for a good series of Lightwave tutorials for the novice modeler. The ideal would be something that is to Lightwave what Andrew Kramer's Videocopilot.net is to After Effects. Anybody know of a hidden educational gold mine like that? ETA: could a mod please add a question mark to...

Around 2004 I recall following a great tutorial about making federationish shuttlecraft in Lightwave, mostly by deforming primitives. I've dusted off my old Lightwave 8 student version, and I'm trying to find that tutorial again. I have no idea where I happened to stumble upon it. Anybody...

The wife and I are about halfway through Season 4. I just wanted to share with people who would know what I was talking about that I lost it when the 10th doctor looks at the UNIT colonel and says "Are you my mummy?" It's exactly the kind of "inside joke that no one around me could possibly...

Just a quick one for the more well-traveled denizens of the board... Do I need to get a passport to travel from the US to Canada these days?

I was just about to drop this complaint letter in the mail when I thought it might be wise to consult the TrekBBS brain trust first. Here is the slightly-sanitized content of my current draft of the letter.

Ok, I clicked in here because I thought that spam thread of the same name might have some useful information for me. It sounded like the problem I've been wrestling with at work today. I have a small video production company. I have been putting some of my DVDs up for sale. I use paypal...

Just dropped by to brag about my alma mater just now becoming the National Division 2 football champions.

About 20 years ago give or take, my mother had to have her left breast removed to prevent the spread of breast cancer. Recently a pap smere was cause for further tests and pre-canerous cells were found in her uterous so a historectomy was planned. In the preliminary check-up for that a...
