I came across this old MacPhone concept.  I really do love these pieces of Retro Futurism because they remind me a bit of what inspired us to get to where we are now.  This reminds me a bit of Cisco VoIP phones that one might see these days in offices.

I am trying to catch up to Google I/O 2022 announcements in small drips today.  I came across this reboot of Google Glass which seems pretty interesting.  Yes, there are privacy issues (similar, or greater than Google Home), but this is an interesting concept.  Would love to see more AR futures.

I found this on my feed on Facebook and found it amusing ;-)  In attempting to amplify stuff less over on that site, I decided to post it here. Back when my VW Beetle had a tape deck, I had seen iPod adaptors that converted the audio using a tape casing that had no magnetic tape in it.  I wonder if this is what Laserbeak had on the show ;-)

Leviathan Falls by James S.A. Corey My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a satisfying ending to the series.  I was surprised by the epilogue, but maybe I shouldn't have been surprised? ;-). Of course, Amos was going to make it to the end, one thousand years later!  This book series, to me, is basically about the rise and fall of human empires, and all the humans

 I came across this during April Fool's this year, but I completely forgot about it.  I found a screengrab while cleaning out my desktop the other day :-)

 I came across this synopsis a while back which gives a bit of background on Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda.  This was a show that went off the rails after season 2 (IMO), but had great promise.  There was a thirst for sci-fi and syndication back in the day, so two concepts by Roddenberry made it to Tribune entertainment.  Good ideas, but failed to follow through (probably TV exec

Star Trek: Mission's End by Ty Templeton My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is probably the 4th ending to the original series that I've read or seen on screen (through some fan film.)  Interesting. It keeps with the Strange New Worlds, New Life, and New Civilizations theme.  The mission aliens were not humanoid, they weren't even warp-capable on their own, but

 Καλό μήνα και καλή πρωτομαγιά!  'Αντε, 2-3 εβδομάδες ακόμα μέχρι το τέλος του εξαμήνου!😅. Διακοπές αυτό το καλοκαίρι είναι ερωτηματικό ακόμα...

Τα πανεπιστήμιο κάνει rebranding ... ξανά... και αυτή την εβδομάδα μας έδειξαν το νέο λογότυπο και είναι μια βλακεία και μισή…κατά την άποψή μου, και την άποψη αρκετών αυτών που δουλεύουν στο πανεπιστήμιο τώρα (αν οι αντιδράσεις

To Lose the Earth by Kirsten Beyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars That was a good 'finale' for the Voyager relaunch series of books.  I am not sure if this is a series finale or a season finale, but I am curious to see where things go from here.  It's interesting to see the connections that ultimately make their way to star trek discovery, with species 10-C (which
