There's a report of a flash behind the north shore mountains... guys, I think we got hit by a meteor. The bang was heard all across Vancouver, as far away as Langley and Mission.

Depicted is my new temporary Bluesky profile banner. It's a Pokémon ball with my user name written in a typeface similar to the Pokémon logo (created via traditional Photoshop).The graphic is set against a black background. AnyWHO - any excuse to mix things up here. Given my lack of investment in this franchise, this will likely be a very temporary banner. That said, I've preserved it for prosperity via this post.

I redecorated… again.

According to my feed, February 27ᵗʰ is #PokémonDay, on account the first Pokémon game debuted on this date 30 years ago. I've never played the games, nor have I watched the TV shows. Though, I did see Pokémon: Detective Pikachu via a free screener pass.

Depicted is No Face from Spirited Away sitting in a train alongside a Bear With No Face. Samuel L. Jackson, as Neville Flynn from Snakes on a Plane, is in the foreground.

Enough is enough!
I've had it with these mother f***ing No Faces
on this mother f***ing train!

YouTube video by Katee Sackhoff Katee Sackhoff Watches Battlestar Galactica for the FIRST Time | BSG Miniseries (Part 1)

I've been meaning to do a re-watch of the 2003 #BSG miniseries & the subsequent 2004 TV series, but now that #KateeSackhoff & her husband #RobinGadsby are doing a YT reaction series of their first ever watch of BSG, I'm considering revisiting it through their eyes instead.

Depicted are Amazon U.S. DVD region one options for Doctor Who The Movie. The 2011 release is currently fetching $124.99, and the 2013 Doctors revisited DVD, which contains select stories from Doctors 5-8 (namely, Earthshock, Vengeance on Varos, Remembrance of the Daleks, and Doctor Who The Movie), is going for $70.00. Note: The lower-priced tabs in the listing for Doctor Who the Movie are for regions outside of the U.S.

Does anyone know if the recently announced 4K Blu-ray release of Doctor Who The Movie will be getting a region A release (i.e. Americas, Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan, & other areas of SE Asia)?

U.S. DVD options are currently very pricey (lower-priced tabs depicted are for other regions).

Depicted is a screen grab of the Dropping Names with Brent and Jonny YouTube podcast as it appears in my Android device's Podcast Addict app (after I manually added the URL to the app). Several of the other various podcast logos I subscribe to are also captured in the screen grab.

Note: I didn't see the podcast when I searched for it by name via the Podcast Addict podcast aggregator app I use. As a workaround, I manually copied and pasted the YouTube URL below directly into the Podcast Addict app, which in turn added it to my subscriptions.

Depicted is a photograph by National Geographic photographer Jon Schneeberger that appeared in a 1981 issue of National Geographic Magazine in an article by Rick Gore. The shot is a close-up picture of my father holding a glowing hot space shuttle tile (heated in a kiln) with his bare hands.

January 28ᵗʰ, 1986 was a very somber day in my household. My father was a materials engineer on the Shuttle Program. His bare hand holding up a kiln-heated shuttle tile is featured in a 1981 National Geographic article titled "When the Space Shuttle Finally Flies".

Depicted (top) is an official NASA photo of the Seven Space Shuttle Challenger Astronauts who perished in mission STS-51-L 40 years ago. Also depicted (bottom) is Doctor Who companion Ace wearing her iconic jacket. One of the patches on the jacket is the official patch issued for that ill-fated mission. The patch Ace wears only lists five of the seven astronauts, on account the outer ring of the patch that contains the names "McAULIFFE🍎" & "JARVIS" is missing from the patch affixed to her jacket. Also shown is a Wanderers in the 4th Dimension podcast logo, as this graphic was originally created for my podcast's Facebook page.

Depicted is the official patch for the ill-fated Space Shuttle Challenger STS-51-L mission. The circular patch is mostly white with grey trim. The shuttle is shown swooping in from left to right with a yellow contrail in its wake. Behind the shuttle is the Earth and behind the Earth is a U.S. flag. The names of five of the seven crew members (i.e. "McNAIR", "ONIZUKA", "RESNIK", "SCOBEE", & "SMITH"),are listed in black text around the patch's periphery. Additionally, the other two crew members' name (i.e. "McCAULIFFE🍎", and "JARVIS") are listed at the bottom in a tabbed extension to the main ring of names. McCauliffe's name has an apple icon next to it an account she was a school teacher who was selected to fly on that mission.

40 years ago, Space Shuttle Challenger mission STS-51-L ended in a catastrophic failure that claimed the lives of all 7 crew members. One of the patches Doctor Who's Ace prominently wears on the front of her iconic jacket is the official patch of that ill-fated mission.

Logitech Options+ offline installer The Logitech Options+ offline installer enables users as well as ITDMs to install the software to computers that do not have access to the internet (or are on an air-gapped network). It shares all ...

Logi Options+ offers a less-touted offline version of its mice software that doesn't send/receive data to/from Logitech. While primarily marketed to secure work environments, it works just fine for home use too. I prefer it over the regular version.

Depicted is Tom Baker (image extracted) from a recent photo shoot when he was bestowed the title Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE). Tom is wearing his brown 4ᵗʰ Doctor coat over a blue suit. He's also donning his iconic 4th Doctor scarf. Tom is shown from the waist up with his hands holding up his scarf. The image is captioned "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM BAKER". The Wanderers in the 4ᵗʰ Dimension podcast logo is in the upper-left corner, as this graphic was originally created for my podcast's Facebook page. Tom is surrounded by a series of concentric blue-hued squares with hard-beveled edges. This graphic was created via traditional Photoshop (i.e. NOT AI).

Depicted is a 1993 promotional poster for the original Antarctic Press Strangers in Paradise three issue mini-series by Terry Moore. The poster depicts Katchoo with her left arm extended upward and crashing through the word "PARADISE", resulting in the letters "RAD" arching upward - fitting as this is a rather RAD series. Text near the bottom reads "STRANGERS (in red text) IN PARADISE (in white text with black outlines/dropshadows) New from Antarctic Press (in black text)". The poster is framed and mounted on my wall. If memory serves, the eBay seller that sold me this poster decades ago was a comic book retailer who never displayed it. Consequently, this rolled (i.e. never folded) poster is in impeccable condition. Years later, I had the poster signed by Terry Moore while attending a comic book convention in San Jose, CA.

Great pick!
Hanging on the wall behind me is a framed, 1993 promotional poster for that original Antarctic Press run.

Depicted is a screen grab of an audio lecture series that I borrowed from my local public library via Hoopla Digital. The tile is "Tina Talks vol. 1 Six Masterclasses on Shakespeare by Tina Packer". This production was done during the COVID pandemic and it begins with a moment of silence for George Floyd.

In 1978, Tina Packer co-founded the Shakespeare & Company Theatre in Lenox, Massachusetts and served as its artistic director until her retirement in 2009. In light of her recent passing, I borrowed the following lectures from my local library via Hoopla Digital. I'm listening to it as I type this.

Depicted is William Hartnell as the First Doctor. He is shown from the waist up with his hands clenching his lapels. The image is captioned "REMEMBERING WILLIAM HARTNELL". The Wanderers in the 4ᵗʰ Dimension podcast logo is in the upper-left corner, as this graphic was originally created for my podcast's Facebook page. The character is surrounded by a series of concentric blue-hued squares with hard-beveled edges. This graphic was created entirely via traditional Photoshop. The photo of William that was isolated and added to the graphic was originally in b&w. I manually colorized it via traditional Photoshop. Colors may not be (and likely aren't) screen accurate.

William Hartnell was born on this date 118 years ago.

While we're at it, let's bring back user replaceable 📱 batteries. Despite being hermetically sealed, I replaced my 📱 battery once. I squeezed another year of use out of it before deeming it not worth attempting to fix a second time. The 2025 cell phone I replaced it with has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
