Star Trek meets Linux on Nokia 770 LCARS ‘PADD’
Oct 17th
Ever since I was a little kid, I have always wanted to be able to walk around with a selection of PADDs under my arm – each for a different project I am working on, being able to work on them wherever I should be at the time.
And then over the years I have been fortunate enough to have laptops to do roughly the same thing. Even one of Microsoft’s core products they are working on are to create tablets. But nothing has really come close to the experience the PADD seemed to have on the TV Show… until now!

New Section Launched Today – Trekkie Stuff
Oct 17th
Recently I have noticed that I have gone a little ‘OTT’ on the amount of items I am posting about the general Star Trek Universe. Because of this, I have decided to launch a new section where I can keep my trekkie-ness for all to see.
My Friends, please welcome… Trekkie Stuff!
After I have typed this lovely message to you all, I am going to be moving all Trek-based stories to this area so you can see all the madness in one central location.
Anyways, take care for now!

Carnahan continued with some thoughts on Pine’s choice of Kirk over Jazz
I’ve been talking to him this past week and knew how tough the decision had to be for him. I More >
Star Trek – Own a piece of Vulcan! (Great Christmas Idea)
Oct 16th
Once again I was surfing late at night, and decided to find out the latest on the Star Trek film due for release in December 2008 – but instead I came across an amazing new site called Star Trek Properties, who are licensed by CBS / Paramount to sell official deeds (as well as other certificates of ‘authorisation’) for Vulcan and Klingon land!
They also can provide Starfleet Diplomas, Official Orders to report to duty, as well as photos of the Starfleet Academy – all limited additions, deigned by the artists Michael & Denise Okuda who worked on the show – More >
Death… The Final Frontier
Oct 11th
Ok… this is one of those things where I was looking for something else, and just clicked on the wrong web-link, but I have to admit I am half tempted in getting one of these when my time comes!
To be honest I thought that these were a joke at first, and yet after a bit of research, they seem to be the real thing!
I personally like the “STAR TREK Casket styling has been inspired by the popular “Photon Torpedo” design seen in STAR TREK II: The Wrath of Kahn.”
However (and this is going to show how much of a complete GEEK More >
