New Motivator

 

Personal History

Back before Star Trek:The Next Generation aired Gene Roddenberry did a speaking tour with a black and white print of The Cage.  One of the stops on the tour was at Macalester College in Stain Paul.  I attended the event.

After I left the auditorium where the event was held I saw Roddenberry talking with some students.  One of the rules I had (and still have) was to never take up another persons time.

I continued to walk to the bus stop.

Personal History

Some people are surprised or alarmed that there things outside of their bubble.

At Minicon (THE Minnesota Science Fiction Convention) I had the following exchange with a woman dressed as a New Generation Klingon:

FK: (Seeing the button I was wearing) "Godless Capitalist." You must be a Ferengi.

LB: No, I'm an Objectivist, I read Ayn Rand.

FK: (Blank stare)

Apparently the woman dressed as a New Generation Klingon was surprised that there are some things outside of the Star Trek bubble.

Okay

Sewage Alert

I just saw the trailer for the newest Star Trek movie on You Tube and it sucks.
