William Shatner has a blog

Ee i ee i oh! (As I typed the the title for this entry, it occurred to me that it could be sung to the tune of “Old MacDonald”.)

Yes, it’s true. William Shatner is blogging at www.williamshatner.com. I only wish he’d start his entries with “Captain’s blog, stardate…”, and continue on to talk about blobby alien things attacking the ship and so on.

If the captain’s bloggings aren’t enough to entice you to his website, then I should mention that you can also purchase Shatner-related merchandise, like Bill “bobbleheads” or DVDs of various things that you’ve never heard of. There are also links to other Shatner-related sites, including a quite prominent link to BringBackKirk.com.

You know I’m bored when I start taking pictures of my boots.

Moon and bamboo

This one turned out quite grainy, but I kind of like it anyway.

Unidentified green creature stalks cubicle dweller

What’s green and yellow, has six legs, and waits for you outside your door?

Green and leggy

I don’t know, but it watched me carefully as I locked the door only an inch or two from its head. I think I’ll name it Mr. Leggy.

Screens and comments

Over at Penmachine.com, Derek espouses the virtues of the flat-panel monitor… without actually owning one. He suggests several brands, but I can just cut to the quick and recommend the Samsung Synchmaster 191N. It’s big, it’s bright, it rotates 90 degrees to portrait mode, and the price is very reasonable.

The difference between LCD and CRT is amazing: where a CRT can be blurry, distorted, and can flicker, the LCD monitor provides a steady, crisp image. I’ll never go back to a CRT if I can help it.

I mention this here only because Derek refuses to put a comment link on his blog, which annoys me to no end.
