Sci-Fi – Prattling Before the Pratfall

Fan Rebellion

Star Wars Day is actually May 25, not May 4.

‘Rogue One: The Andor Cut’ sets out to re-envision ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ as the finale and epilogue of the Andor series, as if it had been made afterwards.

Fun With Phones and Wi-Fi

I can’t imagine being able to control the scanner from my phone is an option I’ll need often, but it’s nice to have.

This is a painting I bought from Colleen a long time ago. That’s Kovar, a character in her graphic novel series, ‘A Distant Soil’.

Here’s how the scan looks after a bit of tweaking that I wouldn’t have bothered doing with the old scanner. The adjustment overdoes the lighting a bit.

Explaining Yesterday’s Posts

I would have said Austan Goolsbee is my pick for Fed Chairman, but he didn’t vote in dissent of the “easing bias.” Neel Kashkari did, so I went with him.

Yes, I posted about Star Trek on Star Wars Day. Ha! So there!
Can’t do any scanning until I get that new all-in-one printer!

NCC-1701, Large and Small

I have seen one of these very impressive TOMY models^* at a friend’s house. You know who you are!

For less ambitious Star Trek fans, for only $13 there is this much smaller model that lights up in a modest way. I have two of them.

Order yours today!

Time and Face

Watching more classic Doctor Who, I wondered who this young beauty is. She’s another reminder of the passage of time. Hilary Ryan is a month older than I am.
