  • The Minnesota State Bird

    Wow! I just saw a Minnesota loon! Riding a bike at 9PM on a dark night, no lights, no reflectors, dark clothes, going down our unlit hill in the center of the road at high speed with his left hand on the handlebars and his right holding a cell phone to his ear and carrying…

  • Happy Birthday, Luann!

    Congrats to Greg Evans on his strip’s hitting the quarter-century mark! http://comics.com/luann/2010-03-17/

  • Merry Christmas

    Let’s test out the new WordPress: Yeah! It works! All I did was paste in the URL for the video on a new line.

  • FIXED! Alan Kistler’s Guide to Doctor Who

    I have corrected all of the broken links in Alan Kistler’s Guide to Doctor Who. I’m sure the individual profiles will have broken links, but at least the master guide works!

  • New tag added

    I have gone through the archives and added the tag “Alan Kistler Profiles” to every Guide and Profile that Alan ever did for us. I figured I owed it to Alan because when I moved the blogs around I broke all of the links that Alan had painstakingly added to his articles and to WikiPedia,…

  • Geoff Johns revisits some old favorites

    Over at Dixonverse, they’re discussing a topic I’ve been thinking about for a while:  Geoff Johns seeming to go overboard with the material from a number of Alan Moore stories.  While I like much of what has been happening…indeed, Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps are the ONLY DC Comic books I still buy… this…

  • One of the great sci-fi dramas is now online!

A legal drama set about 30 years in the future, the show boasted a tremendous cast (including Ioan Gruffud of Fantastic Four and Amazing Grace and Nestor Carbonell of The Tick and Dark Knight), a fine SFX budget, and terrific writing.…

  • Big Bang Theory, Season Two wrap-up

    A few of my favorite moments from Season Two of Big Bang Theory: Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock Secret Agent Laser Obstacle Chess Superhero Montage This one’s from season one, but what I like about it is that not only is Sheldon right, but this is a very old discussion. Indeed, this theoretical problem is…

  • Sex Explosion Trek opens this weekend

    In just a few days, J.J. Abrams launches his new “Kirk and Uhura’s Infinite Playlist” movie, and I am forced to admit that the Onion video I linked a few days ago was pretty much about me. This new movie is about a car-stealing reprobate who gets challenged to enter Starfleet and he makes it…

  • Geeks’ Dream Girls

    Without even looking beyond the title, I can name 10 women who HAVE to be on this list: Lynda Carter Barbara Feldon Raquel Welch in the fur bikini and/or swimsuit Lucy Lawless Nichelle Nichols Yvonne Craig Julie Newmar Michelle Pfeiffer Carrie Fisher Margot Kidder (even with the crazy) Teri Hatcher (even with the crazy) Probably…
