Supposedly, they were supposed to run the trailer for Star Trek XI before the new Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, but having gone to see the movie this weekend, I can add myself to the list of people whose screening did not include this geeky treat. However, the trailer has been released online, downloadable in standard definition as well as 720p and 1080p HD. The site seems to insist upon the most recent version of Quicktime (or Quicktime Alternative, which I highly recommend), which gave me some difficulties in downloading the trailer, but once I updated, everything was cool. The...
Some days I don’t have anything substantial to talk about. Ok, most days. But I still find things that are interesting. I usually share them on Twitter (and my latest tweet is always on the left side of the page), but Twitter moves fast. So today, I bring you two links that are merely coincidentally related.

There were two Star Trek series at once, which promoted women and minorities and looked at the dark side of the...
The remnants of my middle-school self just went, “SQUEE!” E! News reports that David Duchovny told reporters on Saturday that he’s supposed to see a script for a new X-Files film next week. Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are reportedly both on board and will reprise their roles as Special Agents Mulder and Scully.

This is our moment; this is our time. –Barack Obama, 6/3/08 I’m excited. His victory speech was very moving and very gracious. Can’t say so much for Hillary Clinton’s speech, which all but sealed my suspicions of her narcissistic personality disorder. But back to Obama…I’m pretty sure that this is the first time that any speech, let alone a politician’s speech, has nearly moved me to tears. Or maybe I was just so happy to be able to open my bottle of champagne, which was waiting for him to acknowledge his victory. So yeah…on to Denver, and then…the White House!...
So I was entertaining a little flight of fancy of mine the other day, hunting down some pictures of Michael Weatherly (NCIS, Dark Angel), whom I find highly attractive, and I came across the Livejournal of someone who is a fan of Michael Shanks (Stargate SG-1), whom I also find attractive, as well as Michael Weatherly. In particular, I came across a post in which this LJ’er had posted icon sets of both actors. With the two icon sets one after another, I realized that the two actors look a LOT alike. I mean, look! (Weatherly is on the left,...
