Having just gone through setting up a new studio here at home, I understand Operation Desk Restore. I wanted to ensure that I was set up correctly and well so I wouldn’t go through what Shawno went through. Hopefully I’ll never get to the point Shawno reached.

Now that Colin has mentioned where the shirt comes from, is Shawno going to run down there and get one?

The song you played at the begiing of the show is called "Cats in the kettle" by Weird Al Yankovich. I could post a download link but it's pretty easy to find

Anything to keep a mostly blind guy from handling molten metal in a semi- flammable mobile home is a good thing.

That cable organizer site looks like heaven for people with cable OCD, Matt. Thanks for the link.

If you need some new smaller shirts Shawno, you need to head to a trade show of some kind. Those vendors will load you up with shirts. I have a bunch I haven’t even worn yet from the last one. Plus you’ll get all the pens, stress balls and other strange bits of schwag you’ll ever need. You just need to find a cheap or free one nearby that you can attend.

Looking at Star Trek Timelines – the Wikipedia one is quite good

on the movie/dvd front maybe you should say in the show, that you will be watching this or that movie.
Then the following show, people can submit reviews and comments.
that would be cool.

Bizarrely I know exactly where that thrift store t-shirt comes from. Highroad are the management company behind the professional cycling squad Team Columbia. Highroad are base in SLO and they manage the team which is financed by sponsorship from the Columbia clothing company. The current icon of British cycling (and to a certain extent World cycling) Mark Cavendish rides for Team Columbia and he’s expected to win 3-4 stages in the Tour de France which starts next week.

I sympathise with the cable mess behind your computer, mine is just as bad. I’m convinced that some of the cables aren’t actually attached to anything anymore but I daren’t try to untangle them.

It’s hard enough to keep continuity in a single sci-fi TV series, so to try and keep it with 5 TV shows and about 10 films set in the same universe is just about impossible. All I ask is that the continuity is consistent within the same series. If something is mentioned in TNG then it should be true for all episodes of TNG, even if it contradicts something in TOS. They weren’t always very good at that.
