Geeky stuff!
Separated by 16 years of “courageous” Apple innovation, on the left is the model of laptop that got me through college, particularly used in Unix class, a bit of socket tomfoolery in Networking class and for note taking in everything else–and it played UT99 and 04 just fine–the iBook G3. On the right is the new hotness, the 2018 MacBook Air. Entry level sure does look a little sleeker these days 😉
For three or four generations, Star Wars has been a thing. The saga has had its ups and downs, tuned narratives, and all kinds of fan controversy. This puts it all a bit in perspective, that all our perceptions are, largely, generational. There are people in generations subsequent to mine who seem to think the prequels are quite good, Jar Jar aside. I’m sure subsequent generations may find the Disney trilogy more than acceptable, as context to current fan ire fades off with time. I do hope for a fine end to the Skywalker Saga in December.
STAR WARS: ALWAYS
No Description
Things have been pretty awesome, so far, this year. Sadly, already we are over halfway though. I have dreams about this every year, and always it goes by far too rapidly. I can’t wait to bring little Zoey here and show her the awesomeness.
Anyhoo, went to a few pretty awesome panels yesterday and today. Most of it was Star Trek related. The best one, though, was probably the Patrick Stewart and Gates McFadden one this particular afternoon.
Saw a screening of Prelude to Axanar this evening. That was astoundingly cool. I had seen the video on YouTube this week, but the enthusiasm in this panel may just drive me to contribute to the kick starter to make this thing a full-fledged movie.
About to check out a podcast panel called Night Attack. Never heard of it. Funny, how many things are new to me at Dragon Con that I just lap up and assimilate…I’ll probably be a fanboy by next year 😉
