Trek in the Park RETURNS!

I posted awhile back about getting to see Atomic Arts’ fantastic Trek in the Park play here in Portland, and I’m so excited that the next installment, Space Seed, is coming right up!

From the Facebook page:

Trek in the Park RETURNS! This summer, we present an episode with one of the most classic and enduring villains to ever cross paths with Kirk and crew in the final frontier, KHAN.

A perfectly preserved, genetically enhanced warrior from the 20th century, Khan, is revived by the crew of the USS Enterprise upon discovering his adrift ship. They deduce Khan was the kind of 20th century leader who could have conquered the Earth in his time. However, not everyone is suspicious of Khan’s intentions, one such person is Lt. Marla McGivers, the ship’s historian. She is so moved by Khan’s glorious ambition, she assists him in hijacking the Enterprise to finish the conquest Khan Noonian Singh started 200 years ago. Will this be the last generation for the crew of the USS Enterprise?

Portland actors accompanied with live music and effects bring this classic piece of television to life!

Shows are at 5:00pm Saturdays and Sundays July 10-August 1 (4 weekends!) . 8 shows total! Be sure to get there early for a good viewing spot!

FREE TO THE PUBLIC. ALL AGES WELCOME

Spend a day in the park, bring a picnic and BOLDLY GO!!

TARDIS MAME Console

The phrase “It all started with Linux” and a picture of Charles Bronson occur with in the first few paragraphs of Simon Jansen‘s thorough, rambling, and completely freaking awesome how-to post about his TARDIS MAME Console.  It’s one thing to build your own TARDIS, it’s a wholly different thing to build your own TARDIS, then construct a custom made MAME console to fit inside (the picture on the left is the TARDIS, closed. On the right, we see it open, with the console on). This might be the geekiest thing I’ve ever posted, a real trifecta of geekgasm worthy art.

Doctor Who Cupcakes

Saturday will be the beginning of the end of Matt Smith’s first season as The Doctor.  We managed to see this season on the UK schedule, so I am anxiously awaiting the second part, and in honor of that, I present: Doctor Who Week.

To kick off Doctor Who Week, I thought I would share these amazing Doctor Who Cupcakes I found on My Food Obsession‘s Flickr page (The Daleks are my favorite).
