I want one of these, really bad. The Marmot Variant jacket is a combination of my favorite outerwear material (soft shell fleece) and synthetic fill insulation. Besides looking distinctly sci-fi, it has thumb holes (a necessity) and a nice fit for layering.
I have an unfortunately small number of slots in my gear inventory for outerwear, but I think a little more research on this one may be necessary. Too bad it’s not green.
$140 from Marmot.
Birdofthegalaxy has posted an incredible collection of meticulously restored Star Trek film clips. You should check them out on his Flickr account.
Also, this. Teehee.
My friend Frank just released his latest app - LCARS Reader. Based on the Star Trek computer interface (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System), it turns an iPad into the most awesome thing the Star Trek fan in me has seen in years. You know, like this.
Aside from looking awesome, LCARS Reader is a full-featured web media aggregator. Meaning you can give it a number of different sources of data, which it will display in one convenient location. At the moment, it can use the following sources:
Plus it beeps satisfyingly when you push buttons. I should also mention that I made the icon for it. It’s in the style of the Star Trek corridor and door signage, and in classic Trek tradition, even has an in-joke - 206 is the Seattle area code.
Go get this thing, so Frank can afford to buy me the beer he owes me for making the icon.
