Friday Five – Cereals

Food, Friday Five on May 11, 2012 at 3:08 pm by

What can I say, my taste in cereal is like my taste in drinks. Things that are fruity and taste good.

Sunday was the last day of the show, with appearances by Levar Burton, Chase Masterson, Brent Spiner, and Jonathan Frakes.

Saturday was the big day this year, featuring Gary Graham, Morgan Gendel, Tim Russ, concerts from Gary Graham and Tim Russ, and the one and only Sir Patrick Stewart.

Friday was a very light day, with appearances from Suzie Plakson, Hallie Todd, Eric Menyuk, Robin Curtis, and the Gold Members party.

So, even though, as I mentioned earlier, today is traditionally all about Star Wars, I spent most of my day (the part that wasn’t watching The Avengers. Seriously, how good was that?) over at The Official Creation Star Trek Convention. This is both my first real Star Trek Con, and my first con run by Creation, and let me just say, it’s a lot different than what I was expecting.

With today being May 4th, even though I’m at the Star Trek Con, I thought I would do something Star Wars related.

I used to be huge into Star Wars. Back when AOL was only 5 hours a month, I spent those 5 hours in a 1 hour Star Wars trivia chatroom each Friday night. But then the dark day came on May 19, 1999, and I decided to switch my primary allegiance to Star Trek.

A little over a hour ago, Zenescope’s Kickstarter campaign for a Grimm Fairy Tales animated series closed out. How did they do? Well, their target was $175,000. They managed to raise $188,970 between 1,174 donors, with about $$127 coming yours truly. I couldn’t be happier that this is going to really happen.

Keep turned here for further details as they become available.

Friday Five – Annoying Ringtones

Friday Five, Tech on April 27, 2012 at 4:06 pm by

Cell phones are ubiquitous these days. Everyone has one, and just about everyone thinks they have to best ringtone ever. I’m here to tell you, no, no you don’t. Pretty much every ring tone is annoying. It’s that way by design so you pick up the phone as soon as possible. Some are just worse than others.
