This sort of genre cinema and practical effects I grew up with in the 1980s and 90s was something tremendously special.
The handcrafted nature of creature makeup and puppetry lent a surreal authenticity to everything.
I will always love it.

I remember when we were making this episode of @realgdt.bsky.social ‘s TROLLHUNTERS, we had total creative control…
… until someone saw the kitchen knife fight and was terrified we’d get dinged by S&P for dangerous behavior.
Thankfully, we kept it in, no one complained, and it’s rad!

Naturally, Gwyndala became an Ambassador for the Vau N’Akat after her service in Starfleet. Most fitting, indeed.

Have any STAR TREK fans created a complete list of every single name that appears on this memorial yet? 🖖
(And no, I’m not checking if my name is there — I’ve already been canonized in the Trek universe on the USS Protostar dedication plaque and some of the LCARS screens. Just curious!)

Everyone knows about Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS)… but there should really be more talk about Saturn’s Giant Hexagon.

For years, I’ve used this tiny “Boss Baby” themed office supply kit DreamWorks gave me as a joke to file my taxes.
Thank you, Boss Baby.

a few asked, here’s my List of Books I Read in 2025.
64 books complete, 5 currently reading.
Some for work, some pleasure. Some I reread. 1-2 chapters a day.
I went where curiosity took me!

RIP to genius architect Frank Gehry.
I always think of him when I pass the KFC in Koreatown designed by his protégé.

For fans of @realgdt.bsky.social’s TROLLHUNTERS…
I found an annoted copy of Henrik Ibsen’s PEER GYNT from when the writers room was breaking Jim’s arc, wrestling between duties of the human and troll world.
Some interesting bits we mined for inspiration, especially the final season! (1/3)

Thrilled to finally have the Fanhome replica of the USS Voyager-A from #StarTrekProdigy on my shelf.
Ben Hibon did an incredible job designing it — with a tiny bit of input from me.
As a lifelong Trek fan, it was such an honor and a privilege to be part of bringing VOY’s successor to the screen.
