http://www.startreklover.com Going boldly Tue, 26 May 2009 18:52:56 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en As you might have noticed, I've gone and changed the theme I've been using for this place. I got tired of the extremely narrow width of the old theme, so I decided to change to a new theme. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely thrilled with this theme either; I'll probably end up ... http://www.startreklover.com/2009/05/20/new-look.html So I've finally actually seen the new Star Trek movie. Actually, I saw it a couple days ago. Due to some database difficulties, however, I haven't been able to post about it. I shall write a proper review soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to share this little video: Watch ... http://www.startreklover.com/2009/05/19/star-trek-vs-star-wars.html In case you somehow haven't heard, there is a Star Trek exhibit traveling around the country. Although it was originally one large one, it's been broken into two smaller ones. I went to the "second" one yesterday, the one that features the Enterprise-D bridge. It is, however, still a large exhibit. ... http://www.startreklover.com/2009/05/02/star-trek-the-exhibit.html I know, I haven't written in quite some time. I keep meaning to, I really do. Anyway, just finished watching the latest trailer for the upcoming Star Trek movie. I've talked it over with some other Star Trek fans and we agree: the trailer certainly doesn't give off the "Trek" vibe. ... http://www.startreklover.com/2009/02/07/superman-er-star-trek-returns.html I really wish now that I had taken way more pictures at the Experience. I thought I had taken a bunch, but I actually only took 39. Of which, several are blurry. I'm disappointed in myself. But, nevertheless, I have uploaded the pictures to Flikr so that you can take ... http://www.startreklover.com/2008/09/17/star-trek-the-experience-pictures.html Well, I finally got to go to the Trek Experience at the Hilton. I was one of the first 20 in line when it opened on August 31st and I'm certainly glad I got there early! The line was hugely enormous by the time the entire place opened at 11:30. It ... http://www.startreklover.com/2008/09/04/terribly-happy-and-sad.html I've never been, or even gone to Vegas itself. But I've scrounged up enough money to be able to say goodbye to The Experience. So I'll be gone from Saturday until Tuesday or Wednesday. It's got mixed reviews from people (doesn't everything?), so I'm not quite sure what to expect. I ... http://www.startreklover.com/2008/08/28/star-trek-the-experience.html Most people who enjoy Star Trek probably have fond memories of the first time they watched it. Not me! The first time I saw Star Trek, it scared me silly. I doubt I was quite three yet; I'm about three years older than my brother and I get the distinct feeling ... http://www.startreklover.com/2008/08/21/my-earliest-memory-of-star-trek.html The original Star Trek, at least, is available online for anyone in the US to watch (sorry, international viewers; you always get left out) at Joost. Joost is a pretty decent service with limited commercial interruptions. The Joost application, which you have to download and install, is, rather unfortunately, rather ... http://www.startreklover.com/2008/08/18/watch-star-trek-online.html Although there were computer games written by fans in the 70's for use on college mainframe networks, it was not until after the introduction of the Apple ][ (or Apple II) and then the Commodore 64 that 'anyone' could own a computer. Along with the useful applications being produced for ... http://www.startreklover.com/2008/08/17/star-trek-computer-games-history-the-80s.html
