My Trek Through Trek — The Original Series, Season 2

May 30, 2026

Y'all... Star Trek is so back! Or, well... It was back then, during the 1967-1968 season, anyway! That's when Star Trek returned to NBC's airwaves with its second season. And they were trying to get us to take it seriously this time! There's even a brand spankin' new title sequence — this time introducing the show as having been created by Gene Roddenberry, and including DeForest Kelley as another star alongside the season one duo of Shatner and Nimoy. Walter Koenig's Ensign Chekov is just intro...

My Return to Insanity

May 26, 2026

I've written plenty of times about how, toward the end of 2024, I left most mainstream social media platforms. Especially those that were run by people that could be categorized as being part of what I call our “Broligarchy,” i.e. the tech bros that run companies like Meta and X (formerly Twitter). I cleaned out my accounts on Instagram, Threads, and X, and even fully took my Facebook and WhatsApp accounts off life support entirely by fully deleting them. I found a new home on places like Bluesk...

My Trek Through Trek — The Original Series, Season 1

May 3, 2026

I've finally finished watching the complete first season of the original Star Trek series. About 2 months ago, I decided to set out on an epic rewatch of every single iteration of the franchise that is currently available. This year, the huge sci-fi franchise is celebrating its 60th anniversary, so it seemed kinda timely. I announced it on my Bluesky account and for the first handful of episodes or so, I also treated (mostly annoyed) my followers to live posts. You know, like live tweeting, whic...

I'm Certified! ...No, Not “Certifiable.”

Apr 26, 2026

The very first time I remember using a computer was in the early '90s. Yes, I'm that old. But it was in grade school when we were first learning how to use them to play like one of the original versions of Oregon Trail. Outside of learning that you should never attempt to ford a river and what dysentery was, I didn't really think much more about it at the time. In fact, I don't think I had a single thought about computers until much later when the first family PC with internet made its appearanc...

Introductions

Mar 25, 2026

The title of this post seems a little weird. Mostly because I think anybody that's reading this probably already knows me. This is also approximately my 9 billionth attempt at starting (or re-starting!) and then attempting to maintain a blog, so there might even just be some readers that are vaguely familiar with me. This is the first time that I'm really legitimately publishing to the “Atmosphere” though, so an introductory post is probably warranted. I'm jiggyflyjoe. As you can probably sus ou...
