This year I’ve decided to be more intentional with tracking my reading … which means I’ve started logging everything on Goodreads. I read three books in October. Which is tied with September for the least amount of books read … but it makes sense as I was in California and Texas for two different conferences. … Continue reading October Reading Recap
I recently finished listening to the nine part audio drama, Star Trek: Khan, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! You can find it for free on Spotify, and watch/listen to the trailer below. I went into it without knowing what all to expect so I was excited to hear George Takei and … Continue reading Star Trek: Khan audio drama
I first read Orphans of the Sky by Robert A. Heinlein when I was twelve and loved it—but then forgot the title. For decades, I’d find myself trying to remember it, coming up short every time. Recently, a random memory finally clicked, and after some quick Google searching, I tracked it down. Reading it again … Continue reading Orphans of the Sky [Book Review]
The Skit Guys' new movie, Family Camp, is a must see! Such a fun, family friendly film! The concept of the movie, a church family camp, is the perfect story for Tommy Woodard and Eddie James to shine. I'll be honest, most faith-based movies rub me kind of wrong; they tend to be cheesy, predictable, … Continue reading Skit Guys’ Family Camp movie review

"Be the captain they remember." Zhaban's words to Picard gave me chills. So much of this first episode caught me off guard in the best possible way. My non-spoiler thoughts? Best premiere episode of a Star Trek series. My wife and I loved it, my four Star Trek antagonistic sons who I forced to watch … Continue reading Star Trek: Picard
Geek blog post alert. You've been warned. YouTube Red, the paid YouTube service launched the Cobra Kai tv series; ten episodes of pure awesomeness set 34 years after the original Karate Kid movie. Ralph Macchio (Daniel) and William Zabka (Johnny) are back and it is glorious. I accidentally marathoned the whole thing over the space … Continue reading Cobra Kai
I'm four episodes in to the first season of the newest Star Trek show ... and I'm really, really enjoying it. I'm going to keep this spoiler-free, so it will probably be somewhat short! The production value is on par with the recent movies; the special effects, the costumes, the work they put in to … Continue reading Star Trek Discovery
Last weekend we had an amazing concert night with the Small Town America Tour. It was also our first foray into pyrotechnics in the sanctuary ... The concert itself was a blast. Openers Scarlet White and Shonlock were both amazing, with Shonlock really winning over the teens - they've been begging me every time they … Continue reading The Small Town America Tour recap
