I feel I have established my geek credentials on this blog many times over but I must be slipping since I missed this one... A colleague sent me an email from CNET with some news he thought I'd appreciate. He was right!
What am I talking about? Well it seems that a group of Star Trek fans are making a new series of the original Star Trek. {That's Star Trek: The Original Series or ST:TOS to those in the know. :-) } My colleague found out from a couple of video reports on CNET:
The fans have four episodes so far - two currently available and two in post production. It seems that Paramount is allowing them to make the episodes on the condition that they don't make any money from it. The episodes can be download free from the Star Trek New Voyages website.
Well that's a good chunk of my weekend sorted! :-)
P.S. I've just found news on the official Trek site that the same fans are involved in the production of a Star Trek movie! This movie is directed by Tim Russ (Tuvok) and stars various Star Trek actors, including Walter Koenig (Chekov) and Nichelle Nichols (Uhura). I guess that's next weekend booked too. :-)

I think this might be of interest to you - though I have the sneaking suspision that it already lurks in your RSS feeds! Wil Wheaton's Latest Post.
Thanks for this Neil.
My favourite Wil story is that he was at a Star Trek convention where they were having a competition to see who could come up with the best way to kill off Wesley. Wil entered and of course his suggestion won. :-) Probably apocryphal but it amuses me.
