Christies Big "Star Trek" Auction

It seems CBS which owns "Star Trek" currently decided to raise some money and clean out the storage rooms. They are having a huge auction of about 1000 items from all the various series and movies. Some of these items are going for huge amounts of money! I wonder if much of it is ending up in the hands of true Trek fans. Have to watch eBay over the next few months and see what shows up there afterwards.

Happy 40th Anniversary "Star Trek"

Way back on Sept. 8, 1966 a little science fiction show called "Star Trek" was started. Forty years later, 700 plus hours of TV, 10 movies, books, games, etc. and it's still going. Thanks Gene for creating such a wonderful, hopeful future for us all to see.

This video says it all....

Recent trip to Taiwan

A few weeks back in July I got to spend about two weeks in Taiwan. I was over there on business but got to visit a lot of cool places and I took many pictures. It's a great country and the people are very nice. English is spoken enough to get around and usually we could communicate with folks pretty well. The food was quite good. They eat a lot of fish, poultry and vegetables. And a lot of rice - of course. It was quite hot each day and the humidity was intense. But other than the very steamy weather I had a great time! Here's a picture of a temple I visited. Many more pictures can be found on my Flickr account HERE.

Master Replicas presale for Enterprise

"Master Replicas" has started to put up for presale the big Studio Scale Enterprise this past week. This looks to be a beautiful replica of the Starship as it was seen in the original Star Trek series. It's not exactly cheap ($1199.00 for the basic version) but I think this is an item that many a Trekkie will want. It's really the ultimate in ship replicas and looks to be very well made. But to make it easier, preorder now and pay when it ships this coming winter.
