I'm Back and This Should be a Public Site Now!

Hi Everyone! Its been an interesting couple of weeks and if you have had problems logging into my site, I humbly apologize! You see, the other week I received a note on my Paypal saying I owed $500+ to renew my site here on WordPress for two years. Now it’s a bit confusing, but I thought I had renewed my account here several months ago, but that was just for the domain name. The reason I had…

Pardon me for just getting this up, but I was away this weekend at an exciting event that I’ll tell you all about tomorrow! Hint: something to do with Star Trek 😉 Sharing a few of my classics! Have a spooky evening!

Happy Star Trek Day! 2023

Happy Star Trek Day Everyone! And yes, of course I am biased in saying that Spock is the greatest character in all of Science Fiction! (Feel free to submit your suggestions below) But one must admit, the character of Spock really was ground-breaking in the world of 1966, and I doubt that Trek would .have become the legend it is today without this amazing, cool, yet sympathetic character that so…

Strange New Worlds: The Musical!

I just finished watching the penultimate episode of season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and it was one of the most delightful hours of Star Trek I’ve ever known in its existence. (a few spoilers ahead) I’ve enjoyed Strange New Worlds since it’s beginning, and this episode Subspace Rhapsody will surely be in my top 25 Treks of all time forever. (I’ll have to write up that list!) I always…

A Thank You from Boston

Hi All, I made a donation to the Boston Museum of Science supporting the Leonard Nimoy monument that is being fund raised for! They are getting close to their goal, and I truly hope they achieve it! It will be a big crystalized hand in the form of Vulcan Greeting in front of the museum. I received this lovely thank you today from Tim Ritchie, the President of the Museum of Science: Currently…

"Beauty Survives" Remembering Diana.

This past weekend, on July 1, the late Princess of Wales, the former Diana Spencer would have turned 62. I was also born in 1961, and felt a natural affinity toward Diana, perhaps because we were the same age. When she became engaged, I was so excited! After all, there hadn’t been a Princess of Wales in decades. I had not been following the British Royal Family much at all until Diana came on…

Deep Fakes and AI in the Star Trek Fan Universe - Is it Real? --(examples and a suggestion)

You have probably heard that the current increase in Artificial Intelligence (AI) may cause may cause great dangers in not just the world of art, but in reality as well, in regards to national security and war. And I agree this is great threat to our perceptions of what we see and hear, and that it should be regulated as soon as possible. We have all seen manipulated images made for fun for…

The Transporter: Boon or Doom for the Star Trek Universe?

I think Mad Magazine had the right idea… Mad #115, Dec 1967 Hi Everyone, I got back from a wonderful visit with a dear friend last week. It had been ages since I had taken an airplane anywhere. But as I was enjoying the sensation of being lifted into the sky in this silver bird, it got me thinking of traveling in the age of Star Trek; most importantly, The Transporter. How often have I wished…

Renewal time for trekkerscrapbook.com and Retirement

Hi Everyone, It’s coming up on my annual renewal for trekkerscrapbook.com. ( June 10th) I plan to renew it for another year and hope to bring you all the Trek ideas that have been stewing in my mind. However, I have decided that that this next year will be my last as publisher of this blog. It’s expensive and as you may have noticed I hardly post as much as I did when I started this little…

Funny Star Wars film by my Son

Hi All, I know we’re Star Trek people here, but in honor of May the 4th, I’m sharing this funny video my son Matthew (a budding filmmaker) made for his Film-Making class last year! Graphic by my son, Audio is a recording of his friends that he made 🙂 Enjoy!

The Return of Captain Jim Kirk's Comely Starfleet Brand

HI Everyone! Sorry I’ve been away for a while, (busy with life) but I’m back and I wanted to share this updated collage with you! I originally created this collage in 2018 with the use of my ancient computer program (don’t laugh) Print Master Platnium 18.1. Although I liked the original, (and you can see it here) it clearly lacked the precision and sharpness I could make with my Adobe Printshop…
