Are you a member of a Star Trek fan club?
Yes
About Me:
For years I existed in a strict military environment where it wasn't cool to express yourself, or your interests and one always had to display the warrior ethos.
I've been wearing a uniform of one type or another (Cub scouts, Boy Scouts, Civil Air Patrol, Navy) since I was 10. Now that I'm out of the Navy (though I'm proud to have served), I can let my inner nerd out, dress in a Trek uniform of MY choice and fraternize with others who love Trek.

Be a geek - it's OK.

Ode to Ensign Ricky - an original poem

The YouTube "Redshirt Blues" and "Redshirts" (and I'm sure countless others to numerous to name) have inspired me to write this poem. Don't try to understand it - it's a gift. Enjoy - links to the videos are at the bottom of this message.

Ode to Ensign Ricky

He was just a lad named Ricky
from some poor backwoods town
Smarter than other kids he was,
and they all beat him down

But when he was finally of age
To leave that backward place
His accepted application
Put a grin upon his face.… Continue

Effect of the movie on the Trek timeline

I'll paste my blog post on the latest Trekmovie below.
http://www.trekspace.org/profiles/blogs/now-for-the-not-so-good

Overall, though, I was not impressed. I told myself I would be open-minded and that I wasn't a cononical purist. I had some issues and I'm really not happy that, just because JJA and Co. bought the rights to do with the story what they pleased...that they should have. I mean -- who the heck blows up the homeworld of one the most noble and loved races in the Federa… Continue

Clowns and beaches...they sort of go together....



It's too bad I dislike the beach......because I'm at Myrtle Beach, SC. Hmmm. It looks just like (pick one)
Lahaina, Maui
Virgina Beach, VA
Corpus Christi, TX
Galveston, TX
Key West, FL
Cancun, MX
Mombasa, Kenya, Africa

blah blah

Thus, the rant.

Having been to so many coastal… Continue

Sarek the HUSBAND, the FATHER, the MAN



Not only a Quadrant-reknowned ambassador and Federation diplomat, this video explores Sarek's other roles...and private pain.

Hey Derek. Good to hear from you. Yep I've been on Trekspace for a while now but don;t get to check often enough. I am the Captain of the USS Genesis in Region 11 (that's, in this case - amongst others - Australia) and was on the USS Southern Cross (also R11) till we transferred to the Genesis and took over. My XO is in Starfleet Marine Corp and REALLY keen. I am a Reservist - should send you some photos in my BDU (I don;t think they are in My Page)! Yes I'll need to check out the new Starfleet page too. Take care.

Nice work. I wish I had the skills, and physical ability, to do such detail paint work. It looks like I need to take a second look at paper models. Time to do a internet search for step by step instructions and photos of paper modeling. Plus I think…

You have to read the article on Roddenberry.com. His article says that CBS is auctioning off items tailored for the STTE Hilton, because it will not fit in the new STTE-A (Wherever that will be). I don't know where Rod got this information I'd tend…
