For the 1.7 people interested, a few tech notes on PDF II – well, not really so much tech notes as stylistic descriptions. I was accosted in #vbender about a couple of these issues and thought maybe I’d elaborate on why the first DVD was the way it was in places, and why the second one may not be the same. More after the jump (to be merciful to the folks who just aren’t interested, which I completely understand). … Read more

I'm just your typical compulsively-writing, sci-fi-and-science-obsessed, classic-video-game-playing, action-figure-collecting dad.

That's me in red with the smooth round head.

I edit Mission Log: A Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast and its sister shows Mission Log: Prodigy and Mission Log: The Orville for Roddenberry Podcasts. I was a frequent writer, editor, and voice on the daily Sci-Fi 5 podcast for Roddenberry, and I created and currently co-host Mission Log: Gene-ology. I handle video production on Mission Log Live, Mission Log: Prodigy and Mission Log: The Orville. I'm the technical director for the TrekTalks online telethon event benefiting Hollywood Food Coalition.

I also run theLogBook.com/theLogBook.media and host podcasts here, including Retrogram, Select Game and Don't Give This Tape To Earl. I've written several books (WARP!1, VWORP!1, VWORP!2, and "Fatherhood, Fandom And Fading Out), and produced the Phosphor Dot Fossils video game documentaries. On YouTube, I still occasionally produce and host the ongoing Phosphor Dot Fossils and Voyages Of Shelf Discovery series. Follow me on Twitter @LogBookGuy, like theLogBook.com on Facebook, or contact me here.

Gene-ology 27 - The Man From Texas

Gene-ology 26 - The Psychiatrist

Gene-ology follows Gene Roddenberry's early TV writing career every week, and this week we join the Harbor Command as it tries to prevent a would-be killer's appointment with "The Psychiatrist". But how much of the final product did Gene write? Guest starring Mike Richards as Captain Baxter, Amy Nelson as the Housekeeper (first draft)/Etta (final…
