- The Real Reason Why "Sabotage" Was Used In Star Trek [Rap Trek]
- "Believe it or not, it makes sense that the Beastie Boys would appear in Star Trek, even if it is only a slightly unbelievable oldies station in a hijacked future car. After all, the Beasties haven't been shy about mentioning Star Trek in their songs. To wit…"
- Getting Started With Content Management Systems
- "…how to tell if your organization needs a content management system…. While content management systems may seem complex, their entire purpose is to streamline your workflow and make your life easier.
"A content management system allows you to create, manage, store and edit massive amounts of content without any HTML programming skill. Because you are able to edit your content from any computer with an Internet connection, you no longer have to rely on third-party developers or companies to keep your website up to date."
- At Last, Doctor Who's Lonely God Goes Too Far [Doctor Who Recap]
- "This recap contains maximum spoilers for last night's Doctor Who.
"[...] it felt like a payoff, after all this time, on the promises that Russell T. Davies started making us back in 2005. The Doctor's loneliness, the burden of being the Last of the Time Lords, the boredom, horror and glory of it all… it finally feels like it was actually leading someplace interesting and moving, after a few years of going in circles. Like Davies actually did have a plan for the Doctor's development as a character all along.
"[...] But "Waters Of Mars" was more than just a combination of "Pompeii," "Midnight" and "Turn Left" — it was a pretty great story in its own right, building on the themes of those three stories. [...]
"The thing that surprised me most about "Waters Of Mars" is that the Doctor actually makes a choice all on his own. I figured it would be the standard plotline, where he's trapped and cut off from his TARDIS, and finally, he's left with no choice but to intervene, just to save his own life. But instead, the Doctor actually makes a clean getaway. And then he stops and thinks about leaving those people to die, and wonders why he can't save them even with his immense power. And then he goes back.
"[...] it was a fascinating glimpse at what happens to the Doctor when he stops playing by the rules. This is the Doctor we glimpsed back in season one, when he was totally fine with populating Victorian England with thousands, maybe millions, of reanimated corpses. Just because it didn't happen in Rose's timeline didn't mean it wasn't meant to happen."
