While the insides of the old blog were a mess, I was able to export the posts and comments and such before removing the old place. Looks like they arrived in one piece! Huzzah! Even the embedded YouTube videos seem to work! Excellent!

I am still working on getting the widgets the way I want, [...]

A Fresh Start

Yes, after having my blog hacked last March (dashboard really… blog looked fine and dandy from the outside… insides was eeeeWWWWWW!), I restarted the blog. I tried to revive the old one but, alas, it was not to be. So I start anew.

I have had so many things I have wanted to write about [...]

Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and me

I have to thank my 8th grade English teacher for introducing me to the great

Basil Rathbone (left) and Nigel Bruce play the crime fighting dou

detective and and his trusty companion.  We were reading Hound of the Baskervilles (considered by many fans to be the best of the Holmes stories) and watched the [...]

When my kids discover my interests

It is strange and funny how what is laying around the house affects what your kid watches.

The 4th Doctor, aka Tom Baker. One of my, and Kristi's, favorite Doctors

I remember when Kristi was 3 (she’s now 10), she saw one of my old Doctor Who VHS tapes in the cabinet, “Full Circle” [...]

Jewish Origins of the Vulcan Salute

One thing I should have added in my last post was the Jewish connection with Spock. I had know for a while that both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy were Jewish. But what I found out a few days ago was where the Vulcan salute came from.  I was curious and did a search on [...]

Follow up to Star Trek review

First, thanks to those who told me how much they liked my review.

I have thought of other things that I wanted to add to it:

Random thought: Was anyone else surprised that Winona Ryder was in it?  And that she played Spock’s mom? Assuming that you did not know who was in the [...]

Star Trek movie review

(warning: some spoilers)

I’m a casual Star Trek fan.  I don’t own any ST memorabilia, VHS tapes, DVDs, soundtracks, or anything like that. I just enjoy watching the show.  And I was looking forward to seeing the new one that was released a couple weeks ago.  The last one I saw in theaters was First [...]

Busy re-Writing "Born to be Cleft 2.0"

If you have been following me on Twitter or Plurk, you have noticed me sending messages saying I was writing.  I have been busy re-writing part of my life about what it is like having been born with a facial condition.. well, two actually… cleft lip and cleft palate.  They almost can be called one [...]

The Doctor is younger than me!

I have been a Doctor Who fan since around 1986-87 (don’t remember exactly when).  I came in at the end of Colin Baker’s era and was able to enjoy all of Syvester McCoy’s.  While I loved all the actors who played the Doctor, Tom Baker was my favorite, McCoy in second.  I have been a [...]
