Battlestar Galactica

I used to watch this show when I was a kid, and even more recently, they’ve been playing some those original episodes on SciFi. SciFi Channel produced a two-part four hour miniseries that gives the old ship a new look. Not to mention an entirely different twist on an old concept, which many many fans …

Staffing again

Do I really want to do this again? Back when I was younger, I worked for Creation Conventions for a couple of years or so doing Trek conventions. Now, the pace of conventions for Creation (used to be) was you did at least one convention a month, depending on the location and distance from where …

Cochrane’s Reading List

The Corps is finally committed to memory. I finished Book IX (yes, that’s 9, for those of you who’re not Roman numeral savvy), which was the latest installment from W. E. B. Griffin. It was, by far, the most awesome novel of the series, which pretty much means to me that this is a far …

Okay, so my roommate went to Target and brought home the dreaded scale, for which we now use to track our individual weight. Now, I’ve been pretty dead set that my weight has hovered around or above thre hundred pounds, and today, I kind of got a major shock. Not only am I not above …

There’s been a few new influences on my writing and in trying to recreate some witnessed camraderie, I had …

Last night, on my way home from work, I stopped by the Software Etc. that’s attached to the Barnes & Noble to pick up a couple of games. I knew that Starfleet Command III was out, and so I had to pick that up because I’ve been a big fan of Task Force Games and …

Day Three: How to get Lost in Beaverton without really trying…

After our trek all over Portland, Beaverton, Aloha, and who the hell knows where else, Todd and I determined that it was time to relax in the hotel. The previous day’s activities had really worn us out, what with all the driving and Dance Dance Revolution, along with visiting OMSI and watching Episode II on …

You Should Not Go Too Long without a Good Rant

It goes without saying to a certain extent that being the administrator of any kind of game is pretty much a thankless job. Utterly and completely thankless might be a more appropriate way to put it. To me, being an administrator something that has its ups and downs, but more downs than ups, due to …
