This one has me in a state of constant giggling.  Great job, Audi!

Will I be left out?

I get a blast out of following Wil Wheaton on Twitter.

“Damn it, Jim! I’m a Doctor, not a punster!”

My satirical look at the Pope’s resignation got over 500 views at Queerlandia on it’s first day. It’s already trending to be another busy day, with early traffic hits continuing to build. This is my third largest single day hit count since I started writing these blogs. I may have to start writing more “investigative” reports! 😉

Playing with QuickTime – I make a movie! (2:49-a short)

I didn’t know you could make videos with QuickTime.  Once I did, I did.  I may make more.  Assuming I can think of anything worth saying!

Smart, AND crazy! (but in a good way!)

Soviet Geek: The Space Shuttle Buran

Leave a comment

buranBuran: The forgotten space shuttle.

The Buran spacecraft was a Soviet orbital vehicle analogous in function and design to the US Space Shuttle and developed by Chief Designer Gleb Lozino-Lozinskiy of RKK Energia. Buran completed one unmanned spaceflight in 1988 and remains the only Soviet space shuttle launched into space, as the Buran programme was cancelled in 1993. The shuttle Buran was destroyed in 2002 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome when the hangar in which it was stored collapsed.

Information from NASA Facebook post.

The Buran (means ‘blizzard’) fell victim to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989.  It’s one and only flight was unmanned, and flew completely remotely controlled, from lift-off to landing.

The future just keeps getting better, one Tweet at a time!

So you think an actor would be all cool about something like this…  you know, talking to someone famous.  Yeah, sometimes not so much!

And of course, being the Star Trek/NASA/Space Cadet I am, I had to jump in, even if none of them see or notice my Tweet!

If any of them respond, you’ll probably hear the squee from anywhere on the planet or in nearby space.

Update: Scrolling through the Commander’s Twitter feed, I came upon this gem:

I took a lot of grief when I was young about my fascination (to coin a phrase!) with Star Trek. My, how times change!
