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 […]

Those who know me know I worked for Apogee/3D Realms for over 16 years (from 1992-2009).  I was fiercely loyal for any number of reasons, one of which is the way the owners treated me during my time there.   I worked at two different offices during my time there.  The first one from 1992-2002, […]

My Review (01×01) And here we go.  The first in about 200+ Doctor Who reviews.  I’ve loved the show for a long time, and the 50th anniversary is coming up in about 19 months from the writing of this text, so I thought I’d have a go at writing something about all the stories.  I […]

UPDATE Apr 10: I got a reponse from Amazon in reply to this blog post.  See the bottom of the post for that update. If you buy a lot from Amazon.com you get to learn their system and how certain things work.   My first order of any kind with Amazon.com was on June 24, […]

While this won’t affect the majority of users here, some probably will want to know about this.  Available now is a new v1.1 (technically 1.1.0.40) update to the iCloud Control panel for the PC.  It’s odd that it calls itself a “Control Panel” as such, given that it’s function turns your PC into an iCloud […]

First off, a quick comment about why this post is on my personal blog.  I run a Rangers fan site/blog at rangerfans.com – and I’ve been prepping a new version of the site for the last two months or so.  I completed it earlier in the week, and had it ready to go.  On Wed […]
