Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
Back at my old job, I was the head of “online support”, so as such, it fell to me to test out my company’s product line with new versions of Windows software. The bulk of the old product line was old DOS games, and as Windows moved on, it became more of an issue how […]
My Review (01×06) For Doctor Who story #6, we come to one that’s in my opinion one of the strongest of the entire First Doctor era. The Aztecs was when I first started watching Hartnell era Doctor Who the earliest “perfect” story. In my mind back then (1986), it was perfect. Obviously, as I’ve […]
I agree with this… Cutting PBS support (0.012% of budget) to help balance the Federal budget is like deleting text files to make room on your 500Gig hard drive— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) October 4, 2012
My house is nothing special. One story house built in the Dallas Metroplex in the 80’s – about 1875sq ft. It does, however have something in the walls that seems to cause interference with several things. One of which is TV antennas. My old router (D-Link DIR-825 Extreme-N Dual-Band Gigabit Router) had reception issues in […]
My Review (01×05) For Doctor Who story #5, we come to a story that I always had memories of liking, but upon recent viewing, I didn’t like it nearly as much. That’s “The Keys of Marinus”. As this story started, it was the fifth overall story, and the 21st episode of the series. Marinus […]
As Doctor Who approaches it’s 50th anniversary next year, BBC America has put out the call for people to write their “New to Who” stories – basically what got you into the show originally. Given BBC America is running just the modern show, I suspect the majority of the people’s responses will be about […]
My Review (01×04) For Doctor Who story #4, we come to a story that both surprises me, and pisses me off. Marco Polo is the first of the “lost” stories of the 60’s era of Doctor Who. Lost as in the BBC erased the tapes of it in the early 70’s, due to their thought […]
The Colorado Batman feelings have set me off today, as you will shortly see. This has some actual opinions, and the odd strong language. If that bothers you, then tough. I need to say this. There’s just so much in this world that pisses me off. It’s amazing that I can even contain my rage […]
NOTE: This review originally appeared on Kasterborous here on May 27, 2010. My Review (01×03) A Doctor Who adventure that takes place in the TARDIS? The travellers unsure what is going on? No, it’s not Amy’s Choice – it’s The Edge of Destruction, from 1964… When I was a little kid, I loved the original Star Trek (I […]
NOTE: An abridged version of this review appears on Kasterborous here. My Review (01×02) The Daleks. Something almost as old as Doctor Who itself. As Doctor Who is approaching it’s 50th anniversary, so are the Daleks themselves. They’ve appeared with every incarnation of the Doctor in all these years (although the McGann one is a […]
