I am so stoked for this.

They already have.

I've been rewatching ST:TNG. I finished season 1 and will be starting up season 2 shortly. Many of these episodes I haven't seen since they debuted back in the day. Many times I've had to ask myself how they were greenlit past s1. There are some good moments, but a lot of the episodes...

I'm wrapping up Kraken by China Mieville. As long as it doesn't go off the rails in the last 50 pages, I'd give it 4/5, another winner from Mieville. Next up is Storm Front by Jim Butcher. I haven't read any of the Dresden Files so I'm looking forward to finally getting in.

There was a good article on Slate the other day about Amazon's business strategy.

Interesting. This is the first I've heard of it.

It's a conspiracy and I'm glad someone is finally standing up to the Commies at NASA. Maybe he can get some answers on that whole "Moon landing" thing while he's at it.

Girls are good for that sort of thing. My oldest daughter is good for running good songs into the ground with her non-stop playing and singing of them.

Late 70s? That album came out in '81.

This month I've read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Phillip K. Dick, The Religion by Tim Willocks, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, and The Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst. Currently I'm reading Kraken by China Mieville.

My understanding is that the biggest hurdle at this point is ensuring that glucose levels checked in tears are as accurate as those checked with blood. If they can overcome that, then I'm sure that many diabetics will be very excited to try this out.

Despite some quibbles, I mostly enjoyed the first Trek film. I thought it laid the groundwork for an interesting new spin on things and as others have mentioned, the casting was phenomenal. The whole thing went badly off the rails, though, with Into Darkness. It was just...bad. As an enormous...

If I had to wager money, I'd say that the new movies will take place a generation or two after RotJ. Some of the original actors will have minor roles introducing and sending off the new characters. There will be some inspiration from the EU, but it will mostly be new stuff. I'm rather neutral...
