Trek has been part of my life since I was an infant. I have bookcases full of Trek books. One of my tattoos is the Vulcan calligraphy for “kol-ut-shan” (IDIC). This is my home fandom.

Me, surveying my #StarTrek book collection: “Yeah, I’m a little bit of a geek”.
My wife: “No….”
Me: “…I know where this is going.”
(Every shelf is double-stacked; most of those are #TOS novels. Please forgive the weird distortion from the pano camera mode.)

This Twitter juxtaposition made me laugh this morning.

TrekMovie has an analysis of the #StarTrek #Discovery promo video posted today, including stills of DIS’s take on the TOS uniforms. I think I like the blend of TOS and DIS styles they came up with. Here’s hoping season two is a bit more to my liking than season one was. 🖖
Nice collection of renders of the DIS version of the Enterprise collected by TrekMovie. Gotta admit, I think this version of the ship is growing on me, and these artists’ work presenting it from different angles helps.
My Saturday morning #nwc41 shirt: geektrolling! #starwars #startrek 🖖

Forgot to post last night, but this was my Thursday evening shirt for #nwc41 (from @swear_trek)!

Saw this on a whiteboard at work. Made me laugh. Can you interpret it?

Current amusement: as I age, I’m getting a respectable start on “old man” eyebrows. But they’re much thinner on the outsides of my eyes than the insides, so the end result is occasionally a very Vulcan/Romulan upwards slant to my brows. I’m ever more saddened that I’ve never been able to lift just a single eyebrow! 🖖
