Mr. Spock's Little Book of Mindfulness rubbed me the wrong way. It isn't really about mindfulness, the few life lessons it offers aren't universally applicable, and it doesn't really get at the nuance of Mr. Spock as a character.
I almost didn't finish this book, but I'm glad I did. I picked up The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness at a library used book sale because I love Paula Poundstone on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me and I suspected t...
Visual artists Michael Dumontier and Neil Farber bring us an uncanny library of book covers to peruse. The titles range from the hilarious (How to Brainwash Your Friends and Eat Their Lunch or Whether I Helped or Not, At Least it was App...

In a TrekMovie interview, Walter Koenig talks about how Leonard Nimoy fought for Nichelle Nichols to get pay equity on Star Trek.

As part of my reporting from STLV I published two posts for The Mary Sue. The first is a review of The Green Girl, an amazing new documentary about Susan Oliver (aka Vina in “The Cage”).
My cosplay photos from STLV 2014 are also up at The Mary Sue – includes an amazing Borg Queen, an amazing Steampunk-meets-Star Trek mashup costume, Ishka (“Moogie”), men in TNG skants, unicorn dog (!!) cosplay, and much more!
Not gonna lie, I got a little choked up reading Trek novelist David Mack’s defense of LGBTQ relationships in his books. This io9 article by Katharine Trendacosta has the story.
