I see I haven't brought it up here yet, but old forum regular Draknek has been making puzzle games for a while. I have Sokobond and I really like it. He's made enough games now to fill out a whole Humble Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/d...ry-celebration

I miss Draknek.


The 8-Bit Guy tackles the TI-99 series. Like I've said before, the TI-99/4A was my first home computer. We didn't move over to a DOS machine until the early '90s. Then Windows 95, and the rest is history.

I Like to Make Things tackles the problem of cracking open an egg without bits of eggshell falling into the bowl.


Very clever, but Caractacus Potts did a better job at this sixty years ago.

Another minimalist LEGO USS Enterprise.


You'll be amused at how much this thing triggers my Trekkie obsession. Is the original or the refit? Why are the Bussard collectors yellow? Why is the top so flat? Why are the warp coils red?

LEGO iMac


The only Mac we ever had at home was an original Macintosh, but I spent half my senior year taking yearbook, and these iMacs were what we used. I even took home one of the boxes (later used it for a Halloween costume, but that's another story....)


I miss the turn-of-the-millennium obsession with transparent electronics cases. My family had one of those transparent telephones for awhile.

The pilot episode of Star Trek Scouts.


Yeah, I didn't even know that this existed until today.


Look, I'm all for a preschool-oriented Trek show if it creates future Trekkies, but what I want is a Trek show written to be preschool oriented, not a preschool show with a Trek coat of paint on it. And this thing definitely looks like the latter.


And don't get me started on the emotional Vulcan cyborg...

I regret to report that it's the Discovery/SNW Enterprise! You can tell by the blue lights along the inside of the nacelles -- a little tribute to the NX-01.

Joseph Nebus attempts to chart whether Kirk's crew accomplished their mission statement of exploring strange new worlds etc. in each episode of the Original Series. There's actually not a whole lot of green.

Awhile back I posted the LEGO TNG crew...


Looking at it again it strikes me how little "Data" looks like Data. It actually reminds me more of Sheldon Cooper cosplaying as Data.
