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.

Today I learned that today is the fortieth anniversary of Golden Girls...


The Golden Girls drawn as the Peanuts characters doing the Charlie Brown Christmas dances.


I admit I never really watched Golden Girls, I was a kid at the time. But my mom was a big fan. I actually know Bea Arthur more from Star Wars Christmas.

Another set of TNG LEGO minifigs.


This one looks better, my only question is why is Troi wearing the Season One skant.

A CGI visualization of a Star Trek theme park.


That is one of the ugliest 1701s I have ever seen. The worst will always be the Kelvinverse one, but this is close.

Michael Buble covers the '60s Spider-Man theme


I'm a moderate Buble fan, but even I have to admit that his singing style doesn't fit this song AT ALL. The entire point of the '60s theme is that it's silly and fun, trying to perform it like it's a serious jazz song is missing the entire point and makes Michael look a bit delusional.

We've all seen the Cheers opening with Star Trek clips, both TNG and DS9 versions, but someone actually rewrote the lyrics and made new art to really make a Cheers-themed Trek opening.


This is great, my only complaint is the mix of TOS and TNG elements. This ain't The Captain's Table, y'know...

Has it really been over four and a half years since I shilled Shadiversity? Well, today he posted a new bat'leth video. In past videos he's been rather scornful of the bat'leth, but this time his friend Tyranth does a full-court press in favor of the honor blade.


I think Shad is being rather myopic about what the bat'leth wielder's opponent will be using. You don't see longswords in Trek, so they're not a factor. Even in Worf's holodeck program you only see shortswords as an alternative. That's because Klingons don't believe in fighting at a distance, they go all in and GET THE JOB DONE.


"Longsword vs. bat'leth" is never an option, it's the dishonorable p'takhs who go straight to their disruptors that these guys need to worry about.

So lately there's been this meme where people take the frame from Charlie Brown Christmas where everyone is doing the funny dance moves and replace the characters with Peanuts-style caricatures of characters from another film/show/etc.


Well, this time it's The Princess Bride.

Now you can buy a Back to the Future-themed Polly Pocket.


Wow, just...wow.


Makes me wish Mighty Max was still a thing. It would be cool to see Max in that orange puffy jacket...


(Oh, and that is the most hideous version of the DeLorean Time Machine I have ever seen)

Drew Struzan has died.


Here are some of his classic and not so classic covers.


Arabian Nights (I miss the Hallmark miniseries of twenty years ago...)


Back to the Future


The Muppet Movie


The Muppet Christmas Carol


A New Hope


He even did a couple Star Trek comic book covers


The TOS power trio

Two Trek memes from Facebook.


One I like, the other I don't. Can you guess which is which?

[Nate the Great]

A guy made chess pawns that can transform into the other pieces at specific points, making the game more interesting.


I know very little about how mechanisms like this work, so this kind of stuff is always impressive.

[Nate the Great]

A Trek/Sesame Street meme that's truly groan-worthy.

[Nate the Great]

Fun Trek Halloween decoration.

Straight from Facebook: an axe that uses an explosive charge to force the blade into the wood.


And since I'm a middle-aged nerd that was raised on TGIF, of course my first thought is the time Tim built a pneumatic pusher into a golf club.
