Writely is Ready!

ARS Technica is reporting that Google's Writely is now back open to the public. If you've been waiting (I have), now is your chance to get an account. After a quick review, it seems fairly effective for simple documents - especially if collaboration is required. In fact, I wrote and published this blog post using Writely.

At least it's not Asimov...

According to SciFi.com, Will Smith is set to ruin another classic science fiction story. This time, it's Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend". Personally, I'm rooting for the vampires.

The Doctor is IN

The Sci-Fi channel has acquired the rights to air season 2 of the new Doctor Who series. Much to my surprise, I rather enjoyed the first season. It's more like a B-movie than the usual end of the (world, universe, humanity - pick one) variety that is so prevalent. I'd encourage everyone to check it out when it's released on September 29th.

We have them just where they want us

It seems like a banner week for James T. Kirk updates. This time, it appears that he will do voice work for an upcoming game that will let you play as commander of more than 60 starships from any of the live-action series. I'd buy this game just to see Kirk show that weenie Picard how a real man beats up on the Borg: double-fisted punches, improvised gunpowder, and stealing of all attractive alien women.
