PC gaming is back with a vengeance and this means developers have churned out out some fantastically useful gaming accessories for players to enjoy. Making game controls faster and slicker are crucial to play feel and this past year’s range of top level gaming mice are the ideal accompaniment if you’re considering an immersive gaming […]
I truly love noted physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, but lately all he’s been doing is bringing me down. It’s making my heart hurt.
Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision striking down gay marriage bans in 14 states was a momentous event, and like so many others, I was kind of swept up in the rainbow-colored wave of awesomeness.
I love it when a movie, TV show or book takes hold in someone enough to inspire fan creations. Check out these Mad Max inspired LEGO roadsters to see what I’m talking about.
There’s just one thing on my 2015 WWDC wish list this year. I want Apple to finally free me of having to carry around these stupid plastic loyalty rewards cards. Forever.
I try to put into words just what Leonard Nimoy meant to me, what I loved most about his amazing portrayal as Mr. Spock and my personal, random brush with him as a boy.
One perfect shot for Star Trek: The Original Series – Shore Leave.
There’s so much good TV right now it’s impossible to watch it all so I thought I might take some time and share just 4 of the great shows I’ve been enjoying lately, why I love them and where you can catch them.
One of the problems of living in the age of social media and hyper-connectivity is that it’s become quite difficult for me to manage my expectations of TV and movies. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself :-/
I love it when fans make awesome contributions to the shows they admire. Enter this unique, fan-created dematerialization sequence for the BBC’s Doctor Who. I’ve watched it half a dozen times already and I love it to death.
Turn your Apple iPad into an actual padd from Star Trek: The Next Generation with these fun, free lock screen wallpapers. There are two versions (Picard communique or starship schematic) to choose from in two color variations each.
One perfect shot for Star Trek: The Original Series – The Balance of Terror.
MINOR SPOILER WARNING: This post talks about general character direction, minor plot points, settings, etc. for Fox’s Gotham. If you know Batman lore, then you’re probably safe to read on, otherwise head back to the Batcave. I consider myself a superhero fan, but not a super-fan. That is to say my love of the genre […]
While preparing for the onslaught of technical support that accompanies new releases of our most popular app – Twitterrific, I was curious about just how many updates we’ve actually released over the years. I looked back through the app’s version history as well as a fun timeline of Iconfactory software releases I created a few […]
One of the most useful (and hidden) features I’ve come across in iOS 8 is the ability to mute IM threads in Messages. Think of it like Do Not Disturb but on a case by case basis. I first noticed it by accident when a tiny crescent moon icon appeared next to one of my […]
On the surface, users coming from iOS 7 may not notice the myriad of changes and improvements Apple has made in their latest mobile operating system, iOS 8. Visually, iOS 8 is almost identical to its immediate predecessor, but under the hood there’s a great deal to like and even some to really love. Much […]
UPDATE: Four new variants have been created for Apple’s new iPhone X. The device’s OLED screen means the LCARS design blends seamlessly into the bezel like never before. So much fun! If you enjoy Star Trek as much as I do then you’ll love these free, Next Generation mobile wallpapers I designed for use with […]
You have to understand, I have seen every episode of the original Star Trek series dozens of times so when I spot something I’ve never seen before it’s like receiving a wonderful, geeky present. I recently came across startrekhistory.com, an amazing repository of original Star Trek deleted scenes, unseen photos and production resources. There’s an […]
This past week has been tremendously sad as we’ve lost several notable stars of the big and small screen. Arlene Martel, who Star Trek fans will remember for playing Spock’s Vulcan bride, T’Pring in “Amok Time,” died on Tuesday, August 12, 2014. She won’t be recognized by nearly as many people as Robin Williams or […]
Back in 2006 CBS Home Video began airing the first episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series in their newly re-mastered format. These episodes featured improved CGI effects, HD picture quality and professional sound mixing and have become my absolute favorite examples of how remastering a classic property such as Star Trek, should be approached.
