Chicago’s Commedia Beauregard Theatre has taken it upon themselves to release a karaoke-style rendition of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”…loosely translated into Klingon.“
majQa'!
So what is this all about, you ask? You might not believe it, but… Continue reading »
While going back through a lot of old bookmarks I rediscovered a rather cool idea: USB Dead Drops.
The idea is simple; you just “install” a USB thumb drive into a public space so anyone can come to it, plug in, and share data. No oversight, no NSA watching over your shoulder, no barriers of any kind.
Of course, you have no idea what has been left on this thing (could be VERY bad) and you can even leave your own stuff for the next guy or gal. One comment referred to the whole concept as a ‘Glory hole for your laptop’. Continue reading »
Ok, so I was bored and watched the X-Men movie trilogy last night. Well, most of it. Nightcrawler was underused, my 3 predictions for the first movie still hold true, and when I went to find out what the heck was up with Bishop (not in the movies, just curious)…well, I am still clueless.
Look, I have them all, all the X-Men comics from the early 90’s. But I have to admit that with the ‘Age of Apocalypse’ came the age of too many damn crossovers and die-cut crap…so I really have no idea just who the heck Bishop is or what his power was. Heresy you say? Perhaps, but I looked him up on Wikipedia anyway. Dear lord, whatever happened to simple storytelling? Continue reading »
When Morganza recently mailed Moby’s the artwork for his recent Grips commission, he included a little something extra…a photocopy of (what would have been) the first page of issue #2 of The Last Wild Bitch.
As always, you can click on the image for a larger version.
It is always a blast to see unpublished SW/GMC related pages. Big thank you to Morganza for sending this along.
You can read more about The Last Wild Bitch [Here], and check out his excellent Grips artwork [Here] and [Here].

Jerome Bixby’s The Man From Earth (2007) is a great sci-fi movie. I know fans of low-budget fan-produced Trek sometimes visit this blog, and this movie is something that they owe it to themselves to check out. The few people who have watched The Man From Earth at my recommendation have always come back to share their thoughts…it’s the kind of film that last under two hours but starts a conversation that lasts three. It’s a great movie.
The Man From Earth introduces us to John Oldman (David Lee Smith), a college professor who is turning down tenure after 10 years to move on, move away. When John skips the goodbye party his fellow professors have arranged for him, a few of them decide to drop in on him at home. After all, who turns down tenure?
They find John packed and waiting for some movers, and of course they break out a bottle and settle in to wait. Before long, they are having an impromptu goodbye party.
Then something incredible happens…John turns to his fellow scholars and tells them he has been walking the Earth for 14,000 years and he has to leave because after 10 years people will start to notice that he never ages. They ask him if he’s serious, and John says we have some time to spare (waiting for the movers) so let’s just have fun with it…prove me wrong. Continue reading »
