Podcast # 294 – Live 5th Anniversary Show – 1008.29
This weekend I did something a little different for the podcast. It was almost exactly 5 years ago that I started this little podcast experiment that has become such a big part of my life. Today, I did a Ustream broadcast for a live celebration of the show. I play music, talk Trek and play listener audio sent in by you guys. I think you will find it's a fun show and made even more fun because I got to share it with all of you. I do a couple contests too asking some unusual types of questions that anyone ...
Vidcast # 293 – “Wizard World Con – Chicago” – 1008.22
This week I have a treat for you. I went to the big, Wizard World Comic Con in Chicago yesterday and I discuss it on the video cast today. I took quite a bit of video footage and include a good portion of it on the cast. It was great to see a whole bunch of celebrities including: Brent Spiner, James Marsters, John de Lancie, Walter Koenig (got an interview with him), several Galactica stars and of course, William Shatner. There were others too sprinkled around the convention giving talks and signing autographs. I also was able to meet ...

This weekend I look at another classic TOS episode on the podcast. First off, I pass on some recent job news and other things going on with me - outside of the geeky Sci-Fi world. Then we have a special treat. My friend Rick Peete sent in a nice audio report about last weekend's big Vegas Trek con. Lots of cool information and it's great to hear from Rick about the con.

Podcast # 290 – “Temple of Doom” – 1008.01
This weekend on the podcast it's a "really big show." I start out with some talk of my recent adventure to the world's biggest airshow yesterday up in Wisconsin for EAA. It was incredible. Tons of planes to see, multiple airshows to watch (including a cool, night air show), and lots of fun! Next up we have some great Comic Con reports from both Kenny and Mina who were at the recent con. Thanks so much for sending those in and it was great hearing about your experiences there this year. Then it's on to discuss the second Indiana Jones ...
Podcast # 289 – “Ensign Ro” – 1007.25
This weekend I cover the early season five episode of TNG called, "Ensign Ro." It's a great episode and one that introduces us to a new and intriguing member of the TNG crew. We start off with a little talk about the recent movie I saw in the theater, "Inception." I really enjoyed this and try and give everyone a taste of what the movie is like without giving out any spoilers. Go see it when you can.

Great Trek Blog with old Pics
Stumbled across a great “Star Trek” blog today called, My Star Trek Scrapbook. This blog has scans and pics from many old magazines that are long out of print and hard to find. You will see some classic and very unusual pictures in this blog and I urge especially old school Trekkies like me to check it out soon. It really brings me... [Read more of this review]

Ensign Sue Must Die!
A great new “Star Trek” comic has surfaced based loosely on last year’s hit Trek movie. This strip follows the adventures of plucky Ensign Sue as she mainly causes trouble for the crew of the Enterprise. The artwork is awesome and the stories and things that happen are very Trekkie! Several strips are available to view now with... [Read more of this review]
Trek Barbecue!
Some very cool pictures have surfaced featuring a day someone brought a barbecue to the set of the original “Star Trek” TV series. Here you can see the main three stars (William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and DeForest Kelley) sharing a burger and some laughs it seems. This reminds me so much of the scene in the “Star Trek V”...

“Star Trek” Wall Graphics!
These are very cool. You can now decorate your walls in true Trek taste and style. These premium Trek wall graphics from LTL Prints come in a variety of types, and sizes (some very large too). They are really high quality and have a nice, retro art style to them. I know you will love to fill up that bare spot on your wall with an Orion Slave... [Read more of this review]
Selling the Trek Experience
Well, for awhile it seemed that the Vegas “Star Trek – The Experience” would be able to be opened at a new location. But now, that seems like it isn’t going to happen. Starting today, they are selling off the models, costumes, props, set pieces, and so on at an auction. It’s really a shame and I’m so sad that... [Read more of this review]
William Shatner turns 79
On March 22nd, William Shatner turned 79 years young. To me, he will always be Captain Kirk and one of my biggest childhood heroes (and maybe even my adult hero too). Bill constantly reinvents himself and has had a very long and successful career. He shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. I hope I’m half as active and busy as he is when...

How “Star Trek” should have ended
This is a funny video spoof about how last year’s hit Trek movie “should” have ended.

They have done a bunch of others of this type of thing related to other movie endings. Check them all... [Read more of this review]
“Star Trek” Con – 1975 video
This is some great footage a fan transferred for everyone to see and put it up on Youtube. It shows all of the main cast of the original Trek at a very early convention appearance in Chicago in 1975. Rare footage like this is hard to come by and a real treat to see for long time fans like myself. I actually went to my first Trek con back in 1976,... [Read more of this review]
