Where an unrepentant geek talks about Battlestar Galactica & Life • Est. 2009

Mac OS X: The BIG Print Edition

Thursday, February 3, 2011

I've been curious for a while now about hooking up my MacBook to my 47" Vizio HDTV and I finally indulged my inner geek by purchasing a couple components (mini-DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI to HDMI cable) to help me do so.

Here are the results:

I was very pleased and think I know where I'll be when no one else is home and I'm browing the web.

This just in ... from Caprica

Monday, March 1, 2010

All the news that’s fit to … iPhone app?

Syfy has launched a Caprica-related iPhone app called, appropriately, The Caprican, which delivers up news, entertainment and sports headlines from the fictional society of Caprica itself, and the Twelve Colonies of Kobol.

It’s an intriguing endeavour that I find rather fun to read. What do you think, fellow iPhone users and Caprica and Battlestar Galactica fans?

iPhone: Cylon Bobbleheads rock!

Thursday, February 18, 2010

A while back NBC Universal released an awesomely fun app that has no practical purpose, but definitely amuses the unrepentant geek and BSG fan in me: Cylon Bobbleheads.

After launching the app, you choose either the old-style or new-style Cylon Centurion and then give your iPhone a little shake to make its head bobble. Even more awesome … it has sounds and it’s FREE!

Check out the screencaps:

About Me
Yes, I'll admit it. I love Battlestar Galactica, Dune, Star Trek, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Macs, iPods, NASA, Wii, Xbox ... and about a dozen other things that qualify me for geek status. Oh, and then there's my love for all things Longhorn and the NFL...

The GalactiCubees

I've created a series of BSG-themed Cubees -- a paper art form that requires no glue or tape to assemble.

You can check out my GalactiCubees (and other BSG-related fanart) at my deviantART page.

Just A Thought

The candidate of choice for discerning BSG fans and voters! Actually, I've been musing lately about what would happen if people were to write-in Laura Roslin as their presidential candidate. Can't you just imagine the press coverage if a fictional character garnered a significant portion of the vote from real candidates?
BSG Quotes
Adama: I've been going through Cain's log and from a tactical perspective it's hard to find fault in anything she did. Or that Kendra Shaw did.
Adama: They butchered innocent civilians, Dad. Come on. How can you ignore that?
Adama: I know that I didn't have to face any of the situations that she did. I had the President in my face, arguing for the survival of the civilian fleet. I've Colonel Tigh keeping me honest, balancing my morality and my tactics. And I had you. Now ... you don't have any children, so you might not understand this, but you see yourself reflected in their eyes. And there are some things that I've thought of doing with this fleet, but I've stopped myself, because I knew I'd have to face you the following day.
