Blogging through others
I'm in the middle of a major party event, namely, our Annual Halloween Party. The party is next Saturday, so hopefully after it's over our blogging will return with some regularity.
In the meanwhile, over at XDA our fellow blogger, Roger, has had two notable sci-fi related posts of late.
First, he discusses BSG and the new season here. Roger, can we really be sure Adama trusts Sharon or is he using her to get what he wants? And more recently he writes about the most recent Doctor Who here. Most of my favorite old Doctor Who episodes were with Mary Jane and Bakers’ Doctor. Thanks Roger for the enjoyable posts.
And while I’m thinking about it, don’t forget to vote!

Milehi Con in the Mile Hi City
My apologies for my lack of posting this last month or so, I have been busy with school and it takes up a lot of my time. Other happy news is that my beautiful wife Toni and I are working on adopting a baby from China and trust me on this it is a lot of work just doing paper chases. Now on to sci-fi news: MileHi Con is coming up at the end of October at the Hyatt Regency in the Tech Center in Denver. Anyone interested in meeting and talking with great sci-fi and fantasy writers and artists will not want to miss this wonderful event. Con suites are still available I believe - if you want to get information out about your club, this is a great way to do it. Just go to the MileHi site for more info on the rules. I will tell you, I have made many friends through the years I have been attending this con, and I have also learned a great deal about what publishers are looking for in writing stories not to mention how to write. This is a wonderful place to learn about it. I hope to meet some new friends and party with some old ones. (Toni edits – he doesn’t mean you are old.) If you see me there, please stop and say hi. (Toni edits again – he’s hard to miss: 6’4 with long platinum hair.) And if you have any questions about this post or anything else please write us here at SCIFIPUNDIT. We would love to here from you and I do promise to post more often since I promised my very good friend Cheryl and trust me you don’t want make promises to her you cant keep. ( it’s a joke hon )

October observations
Welcome to October. It’s that time once again. Time to gear up for Halloween and time for a new poll! It is also time to send out special congratulations to our behind the scenes guy, Robert. As of today he is officially a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force! Trust me when I tell you he worked hard for this and it is much deserved. I am so very proud of you! SCIFIPUNDIT salutes you with the highly coveted six alien award.
What else is great about October? Well, Dr Who has started up again. I enjoyed the two new episodes shown on Friday. I like this new Doctor. I liked the old one, Christopher Eccleston. Still Tom Baker is my favorite. AND…I am still waiting for the Doctor to don a scarf! And of course this Friday BSG returns! YAY fricking YAY! At Alex’s birthday party last Saturday, we were discussing who will live and who will die in the upcoming season. (Yes, people, we talk about sci-fi ALL THE TIME.) Curious? Go check out the latest spoilers here.
On a personal note…I finally broke down and got a DVR. I no longer have to schedule my life around my favorite sci-fi shows. I am not sure what took me so long. But now, I am free at last!
There is also the little matter of the newly remastered Star Trek. I am pleasantly surprised. The colors are far more vivid and the effects more stunning. I think Mr. Roddenberry would have approved. My friend, Karen, commented that she was disturbed by Spock’s makeup. I do have to agree with this comment. You can see very clearly just how they made Mr. Nimoy into a Vulcan, purple eye shadow and all. Nonetheless, this upgrade doesn’t seem to detract from the show and in fact enhances the viewing experience.
As for the poll, since we received a very favorable response last year and because it is timely, I will once again bring back last October’s poll. Do you believe in ghosts? Let us know, Vote!
