RSS What is RSS?You've got a cell phone at one ear, an iPod at the other. You know that Blackberry is now a verb and Spam is not only canned meat. But just how did we get here? Blame William Shatner--yes, that William Shatner--Captain Kirk. We'll boldly go where few have gone before to reveal how scientists, inspired by the series, would revolutionize medicine and are surpassing the far-out vision of the future foreshadowed in Star Trek in the 1960s. From cell phones to computers to even leading-edge medical advancements, this 2-hour special explores how those sci-fi inventions have now permeated everyday life as we know it. Hosted and narrated by Shatner and based on his book, I'm Working on That, we'll meet the brightest minds of Silicon Valley and the Trek-inspired inventions that have help change the world.

I couldn't believe it when I heard this on the radio this morning. Here's a potentially interesting guest for Astronomicon or some other con in the future. Supposedly, Richard Dolan from The History Channel's show, "UFO Hunters" is from Rochester. He went to Alfred and Oxford, did graduate work at U of R, and taught at RIT. Interesting, huh?
