March 2009 Archives

This is something TNG fans won't want to miss. The entire cast of Star Trek:TNG is reunited for an episode of Family Guy to air on Sunday March 29th. If this preview is an example of what is to come, it should be hilarious and something not to be missed.

Yesterday Amazon released the Kindle for iPhone app to the Applications store. This free app allows iPhone/iPod touch owners to purchase/read Kindle books on their iPhone, regardless of whether they own a Kindle. (I don't own a Kindle yet). It took only a minute before I was reading one of my favorite Star Trek Next Generation novels, the much maligned A Hard Rain. The formatting was excellent although currently restricted to portrait only (doesn't seem to notice if I turn my iPhone on its side) which is fine for me, as that's the way I prefer to read ebooks anyway. My only real wish, was that it had a search feature (so I could search inside the book I was reading) - maybe on the next version.

Kudos to Amazon for opening up the Kindle store to other readers. Oh, and as for my plans to purchase a Kindle? Yep, still planning on ordering one for its readability in bright sunlight and because I don't necessarily want to read ebooks on my cell phone when I'm sitting at home.

This is very exciting news as many (including myself) did not get to see this on stage. David Tennant and the RSC cast of Hamlet are going to shoot a film version in June. Read the full story at the London Telegraph.

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan did an interview for their upcoming production of Waiting for Godot. Read it here.
