Batman Through the Ages

It's time to see all the styles Mr. Fashion-bat has gone through trying to intimidate the baddies. I'm not sure what he was going for with the brightest of these, but maybe he was getting jealous of the villains' wide array of outfit colors vs. his normal subdued tones.

Here it comes: The last binary day of the Century

11.11.11.

I have been waiting for this day for the past thousand years. Sure, it may actually be 11.11.2011, but if you're really bothered by that 2, I say you're annoying that's splitting unnecessary hairs. I mean, come on, I doubt anyone was pointing out when the last ENTIRELY binary day was. You can bet your sweet muffins I would have though. 11.11.1111 would have been the coolest day ever for me in my small feudal village, hanging out with my ancestors.

So make sure you party it up tomorrow. We won't be celebrating another binary year in our lifetimes, and our geeky progeny will envy us when we tell them about all of the stupid stuff we did to celebrate.

Spock Attends His Final Convention

Live long and prosper, Nimoy.

Last weekend, Leonard Nimoy bid his last convention good-bye with a "live long and prosper". At 80 years old, Nimoy has already said he's retired and not going to be in the next Star Trek movie-- which, personally, I am very sad about. Having one of the original cast in the new film made me feel like I wasn't losing the characters/show I loved as a kid (no, I'm not that old. My father just raised me right-- on Star Trek every night before bed well into my tweens. Really.)

Anyway, I hope to see Nimoy walking down the street one of these days. Really, I'm a fan of not only his work in Star Trek, but also his appearances on pretty much anything, from Mission Impossible (because the TV show kicks the movies' ugly, overly-Tom-Cruise-focused butts) to Columbo. Nimoy is one of the finest actors to grace my childhood TV screens, so here's a shout out to him in his retirement-- may he truly live long and prosper.

A Message from 1967: Live Long and Prosper

Today in 1967, Spock uttered the first "Live long and prosper" in the episode Amok Time. Thank you, ThinkGeek, for recognizing this iconic day in geek history.

I think I'll need to watch this episode tonight to celebrate and pet my stuffed tribble. Of course I have one! Don't you? Those things are hilarious.
