Hello World!
You know there's nothing good to listen to on the radio when you're willing to find the only channel actually playing advertisements to listen to that. This predicament, I feel, has largely to do with the sudden decline in music of good taste and high quality (anything I like) and a sudden upsurgeance in music in bad taste and poor quality (anything at all I don't like). While, in my incredible generosity, I can forgive those poor souls who lack my discerning and all together perfect musical sense, some one I can absolutely not forgive is who ever the hell thought it would be a great idea to release a full dance mix of the Hamster Dance.
Of course, every one's been to the Hamster Dance site - when you first log onto the net, it's one of those legendary places you must visit. So, admittedly millions have trooped off to watched thousands of insanely cute gifs of little fat members of rodentia dance across the screen while having their ears assaulted by similarly insanely cute and annoying music and then, in my case at least, wondering what the hell all the fuss was about while waiting for your computer to recover from the crash it caused. So, given my extreme distaste for this phenomenon, can you image how appalled I was to discover that the Hamster Dance by 'Hampton the Hamster' was polling around number six on the Aus music charts?

Trek Two Years Ago
Two years ago today, Tuesday, April 6th 1999, these were some of the Trek Today headlines:
- New York Post Reports On Voyager HacksThe New York Post posted an an article by Michael Starr looking at the cropping of footage on Voyager, first discoverd by Mr. Vidiot.
UPN is boldly going into "Star Trek: Voyager" and slashing two minutes from each episode - in order to appease angry advertisers, a "Voyager" Internet website is charging.
- Major DS9 Spoilers In New Press ReleaseThe first detailed synopsis for DS9 episode 'The Changing Face of Evil' was given in a press release.
- Daily Sci-Fi Analyzes Trek 10's Chances
The Den's Daily Sci-Fi published a small article looking at the chances of the next Trek movie, which is just in the very first tentative stages of pre-production now.:
If we go by the timeline, the earliest possible date to start a movie would be around 2001, once Patrick Steward becomes interested in captaining again. Add in a year or two for filming and post-production, and we're in 2003 before you see the Enterprise-E on the big screen again (if rumors are true, you will be seeing it again for the last episode of Deep Space Nine)
