This is such an exciting year for my family; Super Star Trek Sunday and Groundhog Day are back-to-back! We spent yesterday watching Star Trek, playing Star Trek games, doing a Starfleet Academy Training Course, doing Star Trek trivia questions, eating Star Trek inspired foods, and most of all: enjoying the company of our friends who [...]
Here are a few photographs we took yesterday as we played with my new photography green screen (we haven’t perfected it yet, but it’s great fun so far). My kids were looking for the look of “falling through a black hole” or “spaghettification“. I thought they looked more like they were being spit out of [...]
Only 4 days until Super Star Trek Sunday on February 1st. In preparation for the costume contest, I’ve been assembling costume parts for my family and myself. After much debate, I’ve decided to dress up as one of my favorite Star Trek characters: Guinan. Since I was drawn to the purple/eggplant outfits of Guinan’s, I’ll [...]

You know the one, it’s in every series of Star Trek except DS9, Roswell, Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, and many many more (with [...]
My family and I recently went on a tour at the Titan Missile Museum in Sahuarita, Arizona (south of Tucson). While close to us and very interesting, we are especially thrilled that Star Trek – First Contact was partially filmed at the missile site. Here are some photographs of our experience. We didn’t get to [...]
Every time I see a little horned lizard on my land, I’m reminded of the Jem’Hadar on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Their head shapes are very similar! I wonder if the Star Trek people used the horned lizard (a.k.a horny toad) as a model? Yesterday, my daughters discovered a rather large horned lizard who [...]
Science Fiction, String Theory, and Star Trek What do these have in common? God. Yes, God, with a capital G. I’ve heard the comments directed at Trekkies: “Oh, what geeks,” and “They just dress up and live in a little pretend world, how adolescent.” How banal that Trekkies are mistreated and misunderstood so! [How sad [...]
