Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Random fun things
Orange Cthulu arrived at my office today and promptly started into discussions with Cylon Snowbot
“This is of no concern to you, mortal”. Uh oh.
Then he floated over to meet with Dogbert and Tux, using the Mug of VI as his platform
More hushed whispering. It wasn’t long before Brain and Snowbot joined them
I think I should be afraid.
I must be more out of touch with the Star Trek community than I though. Somehow I managed to completely miss hearing anything at all about Star Trek: Of Gods and Men. I only found out about it earlier this evening when I was looking up Garret Wang in IMDB for editing a previous post.
Apparently ST:OGAM was made three years ago in 2007 as a 3 part web miniseries tribute for the 40th anniversary of Star Trek. It takes plot elements from at least 5 episodes (I stopped counting), actors from each series and spins it all into 3 episodes and just over 90 minutes of viewing. I’m pretty sure everybody who appeared in the show had some connection with at least one Star Trek series.
I really enjoyed watching it, and thought it was well done. This Trek fan approves, even though I’m probably the last one to find out about it.
Go read it. Be amused.
For my second Gowalla trip, I created the Lowcountry BBQ trip.
Most of the destinations are drawn from previous Lowcountry BBQ meatups so with the exception of a couple of places, I’ve sampled the BBQ fare at all of them. It’s probably not a definitive tour, but all the places on it are what I would consider trip-worthy.
Go take the tour. I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy every bite of it.
My latest geeky acquisition is this spiffy dice bag from DragonChow.
Handmade by GeekyLyndsay (who happens to live in Calgary of all places), it’s the perfect size to hold the mug-o-dice I picked up at Dragon*Con. I have more dice than I know what to do with now, but at least they’re all contained in this great dice bag. I may have to get back into gaming because of this.
