So I actually have a day off today. Wow! I was asleep until almost noon (which made for a grand total, with a couple of minor interruptions, of almost 11 hours of sleep, and let me tell you – I needed that), and now I’m getting ready to watch Arkansas knock LSU out of the running for the SEC championship. Good times.
Speaking of championships, the Galaga tournament didn’t happen yesterday as planned – there was a little bit miscommunication as to who was working which shift. Darned if my old PS1 doesn’t look nice on a great big HDTV though.

I can’t think of a better use for the conference room table.

Purty.

The ship is almost as big as my hand. That’s just crazy.
Despite me loading up Super Mario (via IMBNES), Ms. Pac-Man, and much more recent fare, nobody touched this setup at all – kinda like I was tampering in God’s domain by hooking it up in there at all. Who knows, maybe they’re right. I just thought it looked kinda neat.
Been doing some 3-D animation stuff I’ll show off to you soon, though I’ve gotta say it looks better on a real live teevee screen than it does as a Flash-compressed file.

I'm just your typical compulsively-writing, sci-fi-and-science-obsessed, classic-video-game-playing, action-figure-collecting dad.

That's me in red with the smooth round head.

I edit Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast and its sister shows Mission Log: Prodigy and Mission Log: The Orville for Roddenberry Podcasts. I was a frequent writer, editor, and voice on the daily Sci-Fi 5 podcast for Roddenberry, and I created and currently co-host Mission Log: Gene-ology. I handle video production on Mission Log Live, Mission Log: Prodigy and Mission Log: The Orville. I'm the technical director for the TrekTalks online telethon event benefiting Hollywood Food Coalition.

I also run theLogBook.com/theLogBook.media and host podcasts here, including Retrogram, Select Game and Don't Give This Tape To Earl. I've written several books (WARP!1, VWORP!1, VWORP!2, and "Fatherhood, Fandom And Fading Out), and produced the Phosphor Dot Fossils video game documentaries. On YouTube, I still occasionally produce and host the ongoing Phosphor Dot Fossils and Voyages Of Shelf Discovery series. Follow me on Twitter @LogBookGuy, like theLogBook.com on Facebook, or contact me here.
