Star Wars, Star Trek & the Newbie Blogger Initiative

May the Fourth be with you

Well actually, the May 4th thing has been going on for Star Wars Day for decades – since 1979 – and it looks like it will be going for a long time with the new set of movies coming out.

Yeoman Rand R.I.P

Over the weekend the actress that portrayed Yeoman Janice Rand – Grace Lee Whitney – passed away. Another of the icons of a show I love is gone and I am saddened.

From Charlie X to The Enemy Within, she may have been a lesser officer, but she was there when the crew needed her. Without her, the evil half of Captain Kirk may have tricked everyone and destroyed the kind half.

Newbie Blogger Initiative 2015

I started loading the new blogs from the Newbie Blogger Initiative into my blogroll and I figured I would highlight them in a post as well. So far there's a pretty good crop of new blogs and some that have been posting for a while but are new to the NBI.

Return of the Retro

Soultamer

Chaotic Pixels

Gamer Girl Confessions

Gaming Adventures

I look forward to reading what these new bloggers have to say and am glad they have joined the community.
