At Penguicon, an intriguing mash up of sci-fi and open-source makers, nearly 20 years old … They asked me to be a guest of honor … in 2020. One pandemic and fill-in virtual events later — HERE WE ARE, finally! THIS weekend, April 22-24. And I couldn’t be more excited. Back in Michigan, at the Southfield Westin in greater …
Monday, Nov. 22 — TODAY— is the 25th anniversary of the premiere of Star Trek: First Contact. And despite its usual consensus as the best of the TNG-era films, there’s been almost no celebration— live or online. So days ago, longtime Trek illustrator John Eaves rounded up some friends and asked me to herd them, as a free, one-hour online …
Well, here it is at last: COVID couldn’t dim it and revisionists couldn’t dent it. It’s the day, and the kickoff of reflections and celebrations, to mark the birth centennial of The Great Bird of the Galaxy, Gene Roddenberry: Aug. 19, 1921, one hundred years ago. For all you lurker mundanes out there, Gene is of course — quite …
Hopefully this is the last summer that San Diego Comic-Con has to go all-virtual “@Home” in the COVID-19 era — but hey, I’m still thrilled to bring another thought-provoking panel into the mix. This Friday July 23 —after you enjoy the Star Trek Prodigy/Lower Decks all-animation preview peeks from Paramount+ — just stay close to your wi-fi all day for …
It was all borne of the lockdown, pandemic, and a cancelled WonderCon panel — but Life Support LIVE is still Boldy Going through uncertain times… with a great Lifers community who have joined us along the way, every Saturday live (and later, in archives!) Each week, “Dr. Trek” here and Dr. Ali Mattu — “one of us is a real …
This time, they’re a little more planned and a little more polished: But the COVID-cancelled 2021 edition of WonderCon — little brother to granddaddy San Diego Comic-Con— is back in virtual form March 26-27 (for starters). And Dr. Trek is proud to be moderating/co-hosting and taking part in THREE fun, thought-provoking pre-recorded virtual Trek panels with many friends and colleagues, …
And now it’s San Diego Comic-Con‘s turn to go all-virtual— during the Year of the Virus. And I’m very honored to produce and host this panel for Comic-Con @Home, from an idea I’d thought about for some time now: Three Generations of Star Trek Science Advisors. Please click in now and be ready to see the link go LIVE at …
I must say I was pretty proud to get this news just today—in the cartography division. Thank you, BookAuthority.com! Although the first edition of Stellar Cartography was released in 2013 and the new UPDATED version with dozens of additions (and a few fixes!) came out last fall, I’m delighted that so many Trek fans, astronomy buffs, and fantasy map fanatics …
I love overlapping real astronomy with Star Trek’s fictional spacescape — and have for years, as you Treklanders know. I also love this virtual world — have you heard about it? —that Rod Roddenberry and Co. have cooked up with the Sansar folks as one of many within their virtual domain— in this case, the virtual Roddenberry Nexus museum and …
But hurry: The online pre-order special ends soon! Yes, it’s an all-NEW update of the showy Star Trek: Stellar Cartography wall maps and book set — coming Oct. 9 with TEN large 2-D maps from various Trek eras and cultures and a guidebook. The itch that first got me into Star Trek backgrounding is back again, courtesy of the good …
Well, HERE’S something new in the Trekland galaxy for me: Being a guest at a community festival — its FIRST guest. And my first-ever trek to Wisconsin, to boot! But not just any festival— one of the Top Five Funkiest Festivals in the U.S., according to Readers Digest! I mean, come on— what else could Sputnikfest be? Sure, this …
Hey, it’s #SDCC time again… and Trekland will be there in 2018 in ever-more ways. If you are lucky enough (or crazed enough ) to find yourself around the Gaslamp area (or even just around the fringes), come look me up! I’ll be leading, covering, or taking part in a flurry of Trek-related stuff at Comic-Con … from my The …
I’ve been talking here and there around the Interwebs lately of my big mission this year: To find and talk with new fans who came to the Trek family via Discovery only—Discovery First Fans! —without bridging over or carrying baggage from any prior Trek.* And my first chance is Anaheim’s WonderCon, the “little brother” to sprawling San Diego Comic-Con. —At …
It’s officially The Next Generation‘s 30th birthday today, counting its on-air premiere—even as, we always say, it actually “premiered” across a whole week until Oct. 4, Monday through Sunday, in various markets. And later to the rest of the world, of course. I said as much on TNG‘s 25th anniversary —and wow, look: we’ve been in the Blog Era that …
Hey, it’s Dec. 31—looking to help out a 501(c)3, save on your taxes, and help the future too? Well, Enterprise in Space is a perfect match! I haven’t talked about EIS here in a long time, but the program to put 100+ student STEAM projects aboard a custom-designed orbiter in 2021 is simply booming, including the addition of over a …
