If you’re wondering what to get me for Christmas, then wonder no more. Pictured above is an Admiral James T. Kirk action figure commemorating that epic moment in Star Trek 2 when he shares how he really feels about Khan.

Netflix on Tivo

Trust me.  It's glorious.

Trust me. It's glorious.

My Tivo got the service update that enabled Netflix streaming. I reactivated my Netflix account, enabled it on my Tivo, and was streaming content in about 3 minutes. The quality is excellent and the interface is great–you simply add a “Watch Instantly” flick to your “Watch Instantly Queue” (separate from your normal DVD queue) and it becomes available immediately on your Tivo to watch.

My only two qualms are the small selection (which will grow in time) and no option to have japanese w/english subtitles for anime series (we’re stuck with english dubs).

I foresee cutting cable soon (after BSG is over). :)

Okay, I’m officially excited about this movie now. Admittedly, to me, the only thing “Star Trek” about it is the ship and the pointy ears, but maybe that’s a good thing? ;)

Ooo, I just felt a disturbance in the Force. It felt as if a few hundred cried out in anger at my comment. :)

Nature Tech

Filed under: Science and Technology, Television — morhall @ 12:29 pm

The Smithsonian Channel has a new show called Nature Tech that takes a deeper look at the science behind the way some of the natural world works.  So far it’s been a great show. The episode on motion was very cool, slow motion bird flight, flies and other amazing bits of nature.  I definitely give it two thumbs up if you have access to the channel. It looks like they’ve even posted some of the footage to their website.

JJ Abrams is aiming to reboot the much-beloved franchise. Above is a picture of the reimagined Enterprise. Is this good or bad? What say you?

Everything Looks Cooler in Slow Motion

Filed under: Humor, Television, Video — Mike @ 2:30 pm


Apparently there might be an upcoming MythBusters on different “sobering up” techniques. Slow motion makes everything look cooler.

Clever editing. Who knew how well a fit these lyrics would be to one of the best sci-fi shows ever?

Thanks for the link, Angelo!
