I haven't updated in a quite a while, so here goes.
I've been pulling ten hour days at work for the past couple of weeks. Lot's of stuff going on and lots to do. Our product is going to be featured in "Meet the Fokkers" and we expect our business to triple. There's lots to do to prepare, so I have been putting in extra hours to get some of it done. Helping to restructure the call center, reprogramming the phone system, evaluating the phone system and whether or not it can handle the extra stress.
I'm also involved in implementing a new domain and business software, back end stuff. This is pretty huge and I have a small role in it, but it's got to be in place before the movie hits. If we are in the trailers, then before then. We only have 2 IT guys and I'm one of them.
long with this, I've also been blogging the hell out of some politics at my website. I follow politics pretty closely and this year is quite a year for politics needless to say.
Between work and working on my own website (and gaming) I haven't had a lot of time to devote to SG. Well the 10 hour days are over. We've got a lot in place and there's still more to do but it's not the huge task it once was. I should be back to updating regularly.

and thanks for the comment
it seems alot of us are to busy to update that often, but i dont feel obligated to record every second of my life for others to see
Now I love Kahn, don't get me wrong. Obviously there would have been no SFS had there been no WOK. Some have made the case that they're esentially two parts of the same story. Some even include Voyage Home in that story... (Though that's one of my least favorites, and I try to ignore. Yeah, I get into plenty of arguments over that.)
Anyway, I just think that SFS boils Trek down to its most basic element: the charcaters. One of its strengths is that ALL of the characters actually do something, and they do it in to save their friend. Nobility is always great fodder for drama.
All the traditional elements that tended to shape Trek's story structures were abandoned. This isn't a story about exploring in the name of the Federation; Kirk and crew are defying the Federation. This isn't about life on a starship; they blow the Enterprise up. (One of the most powerful moments in the movie.)
SFS doesn't shy away rom the metaphysical. One of my problems with later Trek incarnations is the "sterility" of existence. There's nothing that wows because at the end of the day, everything is just a "neutrino flux field," or some such bit of techno-jargon.
SFS actually dealt with the idea of a human soul and what that means to the concept of loyalty. The Vulcans, for all of their logic, are still mystics.
So, that's why I proudly shout that Star Trek III: The Search for Spock is my favorite in the series, damnit!
