    Happy times for her then! It really has been a nice device to use.

    I was really surprised I received it this soon. Ordered on the 5th of December, but I did base my order on their shipping times and picked the white one.



  • I’ll be honest, I’m ok with what happened. Someone at work gave me shit over “oh but he has 2 kids …”

    Murder in the general sense is not ok. People shouldn’t be able to end the lives of other people just because without response. But this guy… How many lives did he decide to end so he can get a little bigger of a paycheck?

    The kids? Yeah, as a parent, I have sympathy. But as a human, fuck that shit.

    You know… Every time I hear that Chekov’s absence needs to be explained, I sigh. Chekov was on the Reliant in Wrath of Khan. There’s zero reason they can’t just say that. The Khan arc won’t matter, Genesis may still get made and they may need to find a test planet. It’s not that difficult.

    What I really still want is to see the probe from Voyage Home to come looking for the whales. Let’s see if Action Jackson Kirk can figure it out without a Bird of Prey or blowing up the 1701-A.









  • This is both cool and scary.

    A few years ago, I was walking my dog at night just after sunset and looked up as I normally do to star gaze. My eyes caught a glimpse of a fast moving dot moving across the sky. I was getting the ISS reminders at the time and had none for the day, so I opened up Sky Guide and used the gyro feature to identify it. The dot happened to be an old Soviet rocket from the 1950s.

    This opened up a different way of thinking about how much we’re tossing into the sky, and if objects are still floating by some 70 years later, what will our sky look like in another 70 with the accelerated launches we have today.

    The advancements we’ve made as a human race is amazing, but quite scary at the same time.
