Today is the 60th anniversary of #StarTrek, a show that has loomed large in my life. It was the thing my dad and I had in common when we were trying to find a relationship after he and my mom divorced. I can still remember lying on the floor of his crappy first post-divorce apartment as his tiny black-and-white TV showed us the episode Metamorphosis. Whatever Trek means to you, that's one of the things it will always mean to me.

Also, DS9 is the best Trek. (Fight me. ;-)

Congratulations to the Curiosity rover -- a.k.a. MSL, or Mars Science Laboratory -- which begins sol 5000 on Mars approximately when this posts. The lack of celebration, or even appropriate acknowledgement, from NASA is practically criminal, but it takes nothing away from the talent and dedication of my good friends who have brought us to this kilometerstone and beyond. Ad astra, y'all. Keep on rovin'. #space
