The ‘true story’ of how Dr. King kept Uhura on Star Trek

I thought this was awesome, and a great story. I didn’t grow up during the Original Series era; I actually grew up with TNG, DS9 and Voyager. From the SCI FI Wire: If you’re a Star Trek fan, you’ve no doubt heard the story of how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. persuaded Nichelle Nichols to [...]

“I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!”

To start off my new blog, which I almost, almost prefer over Livejournal, I figured I’d give out one of my favorite quotes about the times that we’re living in. It was written in a different period, a period that had it’s own problems and different solutions, but I see how it applies to today’s [...]

  • If you could talk to any historical person for advice, who would it be and why? September 7, 2010
    Old wood There would never be a reason to talk to any historical person for advice. Anything that person would say would be outdated and wrong for the current time period. Social mores, cultural oddities and variance in language and non-verbal communication would make a conversation more like a historical lesson in what not to do. Worse are those people who […]

  • 200 words as fast as you can; tell a story about a man. September 1, 2010
    The goal: Write a 200-word story as fast as you can. Platterhof-Gästehaus Bunker The world needed a hero, but Jason wasn't it. He was just the hired help. Stuck in a underground bunker the shade of high-class mud, he checked his pistol, exchanging the empty clip for a fresh one. Quick-checking the next turn, he didn't hear the hiss of the teleport […]

  • What I Believe (or Don't) August 25, 2010

  • The Important things are not always what you think... August 13, 2010
    Fishermans Friends I don't think either of those two things are more important than the other. Where you live tends to directly influence what you do for a living, and vice-versa. I think it matters who is in your life, what you are doing with your life, and is what you do in your life rewarding or personally satisfying. The "where you live" p […]
