Made a new Maiden playlist. Was getting tired of hearing the same songs on my usual playlists. Called it “Maiden Obscure”. Songs are what you would call ones that usually aren’t picked. The popular albums are harder to find an under the radar song, but I tried. One song from each album. #UpTheIrons

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 47 - The Breach - 23 Apr 2003 1/2 Dual plots. Ent crew go looking for some other Denobulans as a favor for Phlox before their lives are in danger. At the same time, Phlox is dealing with a medical emergency. One of the patients is from a species that

I've been following the PBA since my pre-teen years in the era of Mark Roth & Earl Anthony. One of the current touring crew is a guy by the name of Jacob Butturff. He died Friday - at 32. None of us escapes this, but age 32 is an obscenely young age to be taken out. www.pba.com/2026/july/ja...

This was one of my fav memories in the 90's at Apogee. Back then you kind of wore a lot of hats, one of the things I did was fill orders from time to time. Ran across this one. A kid (presumably) sent in an order for Rise of the Triad - but sent Monopoly money in instead of actual payment info. 1/2

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 46 - Horizon - 16 Apr 2003 1/2 We get to meet Mayweather's mother and visit his old ship - basically a big Travis ep. One of the few deep dives into him. Very much a "low stakes" ep - insofar as Enterprise and Starfleet go. The B plot is about the

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 45 - Judgment - 9 Apr 2003 1/2 Back to the good stuff. Archer is captured by the Klingons (never find out how) and is put on trial for "his crimes". Obviously you know he won't be punished beyond this ep, but it was a darned good ride for these 42min.

Someone who does set design on the HBO Max show "Stuart Fails to Save the Universe" has to be a Doctor Who fan. They have a wall of sonic screwdrivers plus a Union Jack Dalek in the background of the comic book store. That made me chuckle. #DoctorWho #BigBangTheory #StuartFails

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 44 - The Crossing - 2 Apr 2003 1/2 We've reached the soft middle spot of Season 2. Two eps in a row with well trodden plots. This time it's the old "our crew are taken over by a non corporeal being". Has echoes of TOS' "Return to Tomorrow". The inside

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 43 - Canamar - 26 Feb 2003 1/2 We have a theme here - a damage shuttle from Ent. Seems to happen a lot. :) The crew think that Trip & Archer were killed at first, but they were kidnapped. A plot we've seen before, where crew members are unjustly

New Music alert! Tony Iommi drops "World Alone" from his forthcoming solo album "From the Dark". It's an absolute banger. The band on the album is: Jorn Lande (vocals), Becky Baldwin (bass) and Karl Brazil (drums). www.youtube.com/watch?v=IddU...

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 42 - Future Tense - 19 Feb 2003 1/2 Temporal Cold War ep. This one has a lot of stuff - someone they think was Zefram Cochrane, Tholians, and other wibbly-wobbly stuff. Another one I 100% forgot about, so I was grateful for not knowing what happened.

As we get ready for what I HOPE is new Iommi music tomorrow, I wanted to point out a few studio tracks that Tony has been on over the last few years. 1/4 Scent of Dark (Iommi Perfume Tune 1): www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xala...

13 years ago today (27 Jul 2013), I saw Black Sabbath on the 13 tour. I had primo tickets as you can see from this shot I took myself. Was a great time. You can tell I'm in Texas from the guy with the cowboy hat down front. :)

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 41 - Cease Fire - 22 Jan 2003 1/2 Jeffrey Combs' Shran returns - always a good time. This time he's got buddies with him (first female Andorian!), and they're actively fighting the Vulcans. It's the next in that arc. Shran could read the phone book

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 40 - Stigma - 15 Jan 2003 1/2 A sequel to the Ep "Fusion", showing T'Pol is having problems from the mind meld in that ep. It's causing problems, and she doesn't want to deal with other Vulcans, cuz the Vulcans of this era frowned on and shunned other

My current/complete #Pixar 4K movie family photo. It's annoying I have to get steelbook now if I want 4K physical - defeats the purpose of having everything in the same style (like everything else in this pic). I guess I should feel lucky I can still get physical 4k at all. GREAT movie too.

I worked for Apogee/3D Realms for about 17 yrs in the 90's & 2000's. In that time I amassed quite a collection of game boxes - both of my company's stuff & others. Lost that job in 2009, & today in 2026, I did something with that box collection. Donated it to a videogame museum. Wrote about it here.

Got myself a Saturday Night Live Christmas Ornament. I know it's marketed as a "Scrabble" ornament, but if you're a fan of Will Ferrell era SNL, then you know this. I had to get it - it's dumb, but I keep laughing at it. #SeanConnery

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Enterprise Episode 39 - Dawn - 8 Jan 2003 1/2 Zho'Kaan and Tucker at Tenagra. This has been done before. Tucker is in a shuttle and is attacked. Both he and his attacker are stranded on a planet where the heat from the "Dawn" will kill them but they can't communicate.

First vinyl on the turntable turns 40 today (25 Jul 1986) - Billy Joel's "The Bridge". Saw this tour back in the day, and I remember the album well. Great duet with Ray Charles plus and one with Cyndi Lauper. She's the ONLY person to cowrite a song on any Joel LP. #vinyl #nowplaying #vinylcommunity
