Here's another "watched on the plane" short thoughts. I think I watched this coming back from Greece?  It doesn't really matter.  This was a movie that I also had on my to watch list, but never made the time for when I was at home.  I read the novel (audiobook version narrated by Wil Wheaton), and I found it rather enjoyable. I understand the criticism that it was rather derivative

It's been a while since I saw this on a plane to (or from?) Greece, but I thought I'd add some short thoughts here. All of the Tron movies, which include Tron (1982), Tron: Legacy (2010), and Tron: Ares (2025), have been on my to watch list for a while now.

 This past spring I got an Oculus 2 to play more with VR.  The technology isn't new to me, I've had my first VR experiences in high school in the late 90s with those clunky enclosures that we used to have (and probably still do?). Then, with virtual worlds like Second Life in the mid-to-late 2000s.  I've never really been impressed, but heck...give me an assassin's creed game and I'll

I was not expecting a game like this from UbiSoft (and, what the heck? is this blog turning into star trek all the time?!).  In any case,  this game seems quite interesting in terms of what it does with virtual reality.  Also seeing Star Trek Alumni getting into the game and seeing their enthusiasm about this is pretty infectious ;-) I tend to be more of a solo player, even within
