Dedicated to my ailing piano instructor in northern CA, Larry Gehringer:

Ex Astris, Scientia
From the stars, knowledge
But of all the loves in my story
You were the one truest love
That which taught me the meaning of ourselves
And the universe
In the Undiscovered Country
Tempus Fugit
Time is fleeting
But you are timeless
And when my time is done
I will be grateful
For the greatest honor of knowing you so well
Semper Fidelis
Always, together-
Never will we part
For you are my sustenance, my faith, and my soul

Posted in Captain's Personal Log, Music, Photography, Science Fiction, Video on February 20, 2013 by William HooksI posted the video there, due to file size and other tech issues.
Use the title to find it, I hope that you enjoy! I laughed quite a few times while recording the voiceover….and you can take a look at my preliminary, unfinished script for the film which is attached to this posting. STAR TREK_DS9_backup1

Catching an oldie but baddie, STARSHIP TROOPERS (1997) on SyFy
Posted in Reviews, Science Fiction on December 25, 2012 by William HooksCheesy graphics, cheesy announcer, Grade B actors, predictable plot, interrupted by modern but cheesy commercials.
Just what the doctor ordered on Xmas Eve after a good hike earlier today….

Stay thirsty, my friends……. and on my birthday this Sunday, 9/11, I hope that all of us have the chance to reflect upon how that Day of Days has affected the last 10 years- and our future.
Kaku: The Physics of the Future
Posted in Captain's Personal Log, Reviews, Science Fiction on September 7, 2011 by William HooksThis is a book recently released by Professor Michio Kaku, Theoretical Physicist at CUNY.
I highly recommend it as a possible blueprint for the rest of the 21st century regarding the potential impacts of science, and the resultant scenario of what life may be like by 2100. He was interviewed today on NPR and related that the book was based on trying to replicate the predictive methods of Jules Verne in the nineteenth century- which were usually very accurate.
In doing so, he interviewed hundreds of cutting-edge scientists from many disciplines around the world.
As had been so well said in STAR TREK VI: it’s about the UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, the future. And be prepared for some extraordinary contact lenses…
