When it comes to fan-made LEGO models of Star Trek ships, I'm very hit or miss as to whether I'll like it. Then I found this one on Reddit that couldn't help but make me smile. So yeah, let's do a roundup!
USS Reliant A variety of ships. At this scale they seem more like chunky kids toys than faithful recreations Type 8 and Type 9 shuttles NCC-1701. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be the original or the Discoprise. A variety of ships. Some I like, some I don't. I leave the determination as an exercise for the reader. A large Runabout. On the whole I like larger sets for more accurate details. All of the Enterprises in approximate scale with each other.

An article about how the American situational comedy was developed in early comic strips. Incidentally, some of those early comic strips were awfully wordy.

Angela Lansbury died today. Time for a roundup!
Her first scene. Her Cockney accent is worse than Audrey Hepburn's, and that's saying something. Beauty and the Beast. You knew this one was coming. As Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest. Performing "Bosom Buddies" with Bea Arthur When it comes to young Angela I'm most familiar with her part in 'Til The Clounds Roll By. I'll bet you never thought you'd see Angela and Julie Andrews dressed up like Carmen Miranda... Angela reads the Nativity Story accompanied by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir I had forgotten that she starred with Judy Garland in the Harvey Girls I can't remember if I've ever actually seen Court Jester. She did a good job in Anastasia

Bookmark alignment chart
I guess I'm chaotic good-scrap paper all the way. Even if a book ribbon is present, I just can't keep up with it.

SF Debris covers The Killing Game
Even if you aren't into Chuck's reviews, watch his recap of World War II from 15:45 to 18:35 using references to numerous movies. It's absolutely ludicrous how much stuff pop culture has crammed into six years. In fact, the only thing Chuck really missed is how the Stargate was moved out of Egypt to stop the Nazis from getting it.

People are connecting their old Commodore 64s to the Internet
I never used a C64, my nostalgic pre-DOS memories are limited to the AppleIIe at school and the TI-99/4A at home. Which is a shame, Matterhorn Screamer looks way better on the C64 than it did on DOS or Apple. And today's Amazing Thing that I learned is that someone hacked Dragon's Lair to work on a TI-99/4A. And I mean the original FMV game, not the NES platformer. Impressive.
