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!

Last week news broke that Chris Pine was weighing his options between the role as James T. Kirk in the new Star Trek and a role in Joe Carnahan’s White Jazz movie. Today on his official blog, Carnahan confirmed that Pine had chosen to go with Trek:

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 >
October 2007 – DB Awards (Science Fiction)
Oct 14th
The DB awards are presented on a monthly basis to websites that I feel present or offer something new and different. There are 5 different categories, each covering a different aspect of what I believe are important elements to general society. Each month I choose a different ‘genre’ or subject for the awards to be based on, and then distribute them as I feel fit.
Some people may think that Website Awards are SO 1990’s – but I believe that giving ANY credit where credit is due is very important – webmasters have feelings too! Please feel free to nominate websites that More >
