https://soundcloud.com/dedrokstarz/diary-of-a-madman Originally a serious track called "medieval," I was trying to record some ahhs and not having much luck. Suddenly I was inspired to go into a sort of nonsense voiceover (with a nod to the Beatles and Lewis Carroll).
Another great Trek episode… (slight spoiler alert)
Caught season 1 episode 3 of the new Star Trek TV series last night. I felt this one would indicate if the show was heading somewhere or just going to fizzle, as did Star Trek Enterprise.

Star Trek Discovery seems on track

Seems a lot of good US stuff begins with solid character development and interaction, and then... Continue Reading →

Pixels – DVD Review
Last night I returned some library material to a branch that I don't visit too often. Browsing the DVD section I saw a fresh copy of Pixels. I'd been curious about it, so checked it out. I was drawn into the film fairly quickly. Being about 20 yrs in 1982, where the movie begins, it... Continue Reading →
