Recently in some work I did for a web client, I discovered that essential emails that were needed for work were getting sent to spam.  They didn’t know that, and I didn’t discover it until my time working with them on this particular project.  When I told them about this, they well, I’m not sure […]

My Review (01×07) The Sensorites is a story that for the longest time I used to skip.  In my earlier days of Doctor Who fandom, I was into the 80’s stuff, and didn’t get a chance to see the Hartnell and Troughton era material until 1986.  When I finally did, there was a lot of […]

He lost his job and all he had in the fall of ’09 Now he feared the worst, that he would lose his children and his wife So he drove down deep into the woods and thought he’d end it all And prayed, “Lord above, I need a miracle”

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 […]
