Hello World!

Isn’t it always the case that the one day you really, *really* want to sleep in, you get awoken at some obscene hour of the morning? You know, when the strange and rarely seen Day Star is rising rather than setting? Such happened to me today. Mind you, in addition to it being Good Friday by the Christian calendar, its also Black Friday ie, Friday the 13th, the superstition of which I actually believe is derived from said holy day – there were, after all, 13 people at the last supper.

At any rate, since, with luck, you won’t be hearing from me again until Monday, have a good Easter everyone, stay safe on the roads and try not to eat too much chocolate!

Trek Two Years Ago

Two years ago today, Tuesday, April 13th 1999, these were some of the Trek Today headlines:

  • New 'Rules of Netquisition' Contest Announced: Psi Phi announced that it would once more be holding the 'Rules of Netquisition Contest'. Prizes for the fifth and final outing of the contest included copies of the "DS9 Technical Manual", "Legends of the Ferengi", and "The 34th Rule".
  • Digital Streams Creates New Trek CGI: Digital Streams put up a new, completely re-worked version of the Original Series' famous opening sequence as part of their re-worked version of 'The Doomsday Machine.' Unfortunately, the project was never completed.
