A long wait

This is something I wanted twenty years ago but never bought. I found it on eBay recently, watched it like a hawk, and won the auction today. Hopefully, it will arrive undamaged later this week.

Update: It arrived in pristine condition.

Easter Egg

While watching Star Trek (2009), I noticed something odd. After rewinding, pausing, and then stepping forward one frame at a time, I noticed this:

R2-D2 in the debris above Vulcan. I love easter eggs.

**Note** Apparently I’m behind the times. This was revealed over a year ago. I always was a bit slow at picking things up….

No final frontier for Scotty

A rocket carrying the ashes of actor James Doohan, who played the part of Scotty on Star Trek, was lost during launch yesterday.  The remains of 207 other people, including Mercury 7 astronaut Gordon Cooper, and three satellites were also destroyed.
