I was at my comms station and couldn’t believe my eyes. I came across my old logs (diary)! I wrote there from Stardate 05312001 until Stardate 08172009. I had no idea how cringe, depressed and religious I was back then. Officer Tino means business! I feel somewhat conflicted about linking the recovered logs here. IContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 10302025.7”

Off The Record
Listen to this Episode There’s so much I want to say but I don’t know where to begin. I’ve deleted dozens of sentences trying to find just the right intro. I’m just going to begin writing and see where it goes. The first thing on my mind is yesterday’s (08012025) family fun night. We hadContinueContinue reading “Off The Record”

Listen to this episode One of the biggest fears many have about joining Starfleet is the prospect of their ship ending up adrift, powerless, in the cold vacuum of space. Although I’m not there yet, life has me feeling as though I am not too far from such a scenario. https://videopress.com/v/MvRu9FMU?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fvideos.files.wordpress.com%2FMvRu9FMU%2Fwp-1697964290663_mp4_std.original.jpg&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Adrift near the edgeContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 10222023.1”

Listen to this episode One of the constants of working on a starbase is that change can come abruptly. A few weeks ago, my commanding officer of 2 years came to my station with tears in her eyes and suddenly announced that it would be her last day. This comes on the heels of herContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 10032023.1”

Listen to this episode Change is a seductive mistress. She frequently tempts me with alluring visions of possible alternate futures. I sometimes can’t help but to be mesmerized by her enchanting beauty. However, like anything worth having in this universe, there’s always a cost. An abandoned Starbase (pier that isn’t afloat due to low waterContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 10202022.1”

Listen to this episode Given that space can be a hostile environment, I decided to meet up with a group of strangers to possibly have them become Federation allies (friends). The idea to meet these particular individuals came to me based on meetups suggested by holonovelist kurzgesagt (a YouTuber) Things didn’t really play out howContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog:Stardate 092202022.2”

Listen to this episode Traveling through intergalactic space can be a trying endeavor. Even when there is nothing happening, just existing can be difficult. On the holodeck (tv), most holonovels present a world where one’s biggest adversary is some other opponent bent on destroying you. However, more often than not, our most difficult adversary isContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 07232022.5”

Listen to this episode Today, the (work) crew and I were relocated to Starbase 701 (new worksite). As I pulled up in my shuttlecraft (car), I noticed a number of shipless (homeless) encampments just outside the perimeter of the Starbase. Upon further inspection, I noticed a little girl (about 6 years ago) scurrying about theContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog Stardate 07122022.9”

Listen to this episode During my travels through the Galaxy, one of the things that I’ve learned is that allegiances can easily shift. A close ally can become an enemy and a former foe can become a friend. In my own life, Captain Eric and former Federation applicant (ex-bf) Admiral Will no longer are onContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 05172022.9”

Listen to this episode As a young officer, I used to aspire to become an admiral (manager). To me, working in management seemed to be an indicator that you were successful.. doing what you were supposed to in life. I always felt like I had some good ideas and that if I was in aContinueContinue reading “Captain’s blog: Stardate 03072022.5”
