Don’t get me wrong, I liked the movie. Still.

What’s funny to me is that when Spock corrects Kirk about weight, he’s actually wrong. Making the ship less massive means the same force applied would give a greater acceleration. But by then they’d already ejected the warp core, so it doesn’t matter.

Or maybe I’m thinking about this too hard.

The simplicity of this belies its awesomeness.

Ah yes, they use the Lirpaw. But that’s expected in the koon-ut-kah-li-feeline.

If you think I wouldn’t want a starship Enterprise pizza cutter from Think Geek, then I have no clue why you’re even reading this blog.

Because I covet this very much.

Still… wouldn’t the replicator just make pizza pre-sliced? Hello?! I smell a retcon. Or is that anchovies…?

Translated from German, this means "They are among us!" and it’s a slogan the German SciFi channel has been using. And just to prove that every country is cooler than we are, they ran this commercial:

Now don’t get me wrong– I love me some Sharktopus — but I wish we had more TV ads like this one. Awesome.

And, of course, highly logical.

There are others, too, like this one, and this one, and this one, and this one which made me seriously LOL.

I love being a geek.

Just a reminder: this coming weekend (August 13 – 15) is SETICon, a convention where science and science fiction meet. You can read all about it in my posts where I announced I’d be there, and a followup. It’s still only $35 for the whole weekend, though there are options if you want to participate in more events.

I expect this to be a lot of fun. A pile of old friends will be there, and the talk lineup looks really cool. Scientists, astronauts, plus actors, writers, and more from Star Trek! Also, I’ll be playing — and singing — with Rock Band. Yes, you heard me. If you’re in the Mountain View (southern San Francisco bay) area, then you really should come.

I am a hardened geek, a nerd who strides across the planet with 20 km boots, a dork of such vastness that I can crush you into oblivion with my HP calculator before I even hit Enter.

Yet I was reduced to near-normalcy in comparison by listening to this [some brief NSFW language]. If you are a Trek fan, specifically of TNG, and are a fan of Wil Wheaton, Jonathan Frakes, and/or LeVar Burton, then you need to drop whatever you’re carrying — a Steuben crystal, a cooler with a transplant heart, your bowl of Quisp — and listen to that. These three men are all +20 for geekery.

And next year, by Grabthar’s hammer, I’ll try to go to Phoenix Comic Con.

Now I know why watching Trek made my blood pressure rise.

Hey, y’know what would go well with this? Antipasto. HAHAHAHAHA!

Anyway, this one certainly looks like more of a meal than the Tiny-E. And it’s weird: the secondary hull looks like a Shuttle external tank. Life imitates art imitates life.
