C.A. Fire claims a Podcasters House

Hey guys – if you haven’t heard Doug (Dr. Floyd) from the Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd lost his house in the CA Fires.. and they’re taking up special donations to help him out until he can get his insurance money – http://www.doctorfloyd.com/doug/

Doug is currently staying with family and is in great health, but could use some funds to help him until his insurance comes through. Even if you have no money to spare, getting the word out to people who could give would mean the world!

Anything you can do to help spread the word to help out a fellow podcaster would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Grumpy Gus and Peanuts



Grumpy Gus and Peanuts, originally uploaded by kreg.steppe.

If you don’t know already, I have started a webcomic called Grumpy Gus and Peanuts.

I have been drawing comics for a long time. I got my start in High School actually (surprise) but I never really did anything with them. I have a lot of characters that I have made in the past and I am sure you will see them crop up in this strip.

Grumpy Gus and Peanuts is about two older guys that have been friends for ages and now live together to pull resources so that they can have a decent place to live.

Gus is the been there, done it all type curmudgeon that knows everything, is not afraid to tell you what he thinks, and of course he is also an adventurer in his own mind.

Peanuts is his long time friend that has been tagging along for the ride, constantly being made to do what he normally wouldn’t.

Head on over and check it out…and Subscribe…I hope you enjoy.

Star Trek is 42 years today!

It is fitting that we finish our Star Trek: The Experience Audio tour today as Star Trek turns 42. I was looking down the article on TrekMovie.com and saw several videos that they have posted at YouTube. One that I thought was particularly interesting was Leonard Nimoy doing an interview about Star Trek in Full Makeup! What was strange it looked like Spock talking about getting his start into acting and growing up in Boston.

Happy Birthday Star Trek!

It was 42 years ago today… | TrekMovie.com

On September 8th, 1966, the world was transported for the first time to the 23rd century and the final frontier. On TV screens across America, “The Man Trap” introduced Star Trek and ushered in a franchise that endures to this day. Some fans recall the day, but for many more, they were too young or not even yet born to experience that moment in TV history.

NASA looking for the next Sagan

I think that this is a wonderful idea. NASA and space exploration in gerneral needs more of a face, or champion that can bring attention to it.

The times I have heard Sagan speak on TV he always caused me to think…what are the possibilities? Is there live out there, are we alone? …and I think that is something that we need to energize younger minds.

NASA Looking for New Sagan : Slice of SciFi

In an effort to find the next Carl Sagan, someone who can not only inspire the next generation of space scientists but also make the discipline more popular again, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is creating the Carl Sagan Postdoctoral Fellowships in Exoplanet Exploration.

Star Trek Experience Decommissioning

Since we are in the midst of our Star Trek Experience Audio Tour on Technorama, and the Experience recently closed, I thought you guys would be interested in sharing this.

April Hebert, our tour guide for the Behind the Scenes tour was honored at the decommissioning of the Star Trek Experience for being the longest active crew member.

The roll call of names and introductions ended with a special name. April Hebert, who was the first cast member to be assigned to Star Trek: Experience, came out, still in character as a Vulcan (Hebert has portrayed multiple roles at STTE, including Starfleet and an Andorian). As the longest active crewmember, Hebert was presented a very special gift, the official flag of the United Federation of Planets that has hung proudly in front on the main entrance from the first day of service. The moment resulted in a five minute standing ovation.
