I enjoy reading Captain Future's Soul of Star Trek blog for its insightful reflections on the franchise and the role Star Trek has played in changing and shaping attitudes, cultures around the world. I couldn't help but be inspired by a line in a recent post, and I was off to the LOLbuilder:

During the Macworld expo keynote a week ago, Steve Jobs made the off-hand comment that Paramount Pictures had joined Disney in selling films through the iTunes Store. Of course, that deal means that all of the Star Trek motion pictures (except the Search for Spock) are now available for digital download, enabling portable viewing on a iPod or streaming to a new Apple TV.

So it reads more like a newspaper column and not so much like a the informal blogginess that's usually found around here. It's from the Records that time forgot series that I hope to revive in 2007.
