Star Trek Fish Car Emblem

Automotive, Gizmo of the Day / By Doug Felteau / August 24, 2010

Why debate the existence of God with a fish emblem attached to the back of your car when you can show your support for the religion known around the world as Star Trek and pray on the Alter of Roddenberry with this Star Trek Fish Car Emblem.

The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual (pages 63, 65 and 66) states that the experiments with single and more than two nacelle designs, conducted in 2269, proved that having two nacelles is the optimal configuration for vessel control and power generation as represented by this chrome fish with dual warp nacelles.

So boldly go and proclaim your love for all things Trek. Lament that your car doesn’t have an anti-matter warp core, or is armed with photon torpedoes!

Pre-Order Star Trek TNG DS9 PADD

Gaming & Toys, Gizmo of the Day, Portable / By Doug Felteau / May 21, 2010

Welcome to the future and the next evolution of the iPad by pre-ordering this Star Trek PADD (Personal Access Display Device). I’m not sure, but the PADD may not be ready for shipment until 2364 even though the site says it’s shipping in June 2010.

The Star Trek PADD is a large touchscreen display with minimalistic manual interface of one or two buttons much like the iPad. The design is but the tip of the iceberg however as the typical PADD can be used for anything from logging manifests, compiling duty rosters or diagnostic reports or seemly everything, entering personal data and access library computer systems.

I hope the PADD comes with an extra sarium krellide power cell!

Star Wars vs Star Trek – the movie!

Ok, so it’s a 5 minute video, made by some fans, but it’s worth the time. It’s a bit of fun no matter what franchise you like. Sorry, I’m not gonna give it away, and you can’t skip to the end without missing stuff in the middle. Enjoy!

Trailer for new Star Trek movie

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Miscellaneous / By Khalid Hosein / November 18, 2008

I just saw the trailer in its full screen glory and wanted to share with the world. I’m looking forward to this (partial-)reboot of the Star Trek franchise. The trailer hints at a more edgy take on the characters. I’ve already said too much.

YouTube to air full episodes of old TV shows. First up, Star Trek

If Hulu isn’t filling your old TV-content needs, then YouTube may be your savior. So far, they’ve only got a few shows on tap, but they’re (were) pretty popular – Star Trek (the original series), Beverly Hills 90210 and MacGyver.

This is part of Google’s attempt to better monetize YouTube with some new video ad formats.

Interestingly enough, they’ve disabled embedding, so we can’t even place the video on our site.
