A new “trailer” is floating around the internet: “Blackstar Warrior”, a hilarious recasting of Star Wars as a blaxploitation flick ala Shaft and Superfly. Billy Dee Williams is Lando Calrissian, the baddest dude in the galaxy. Star Wars finally becomes a true 70s film!
StarCraft II will dominate the game market, that much is beyond doubt. Now you can plow through all the game reviews, but I found this elegant, persuasive review from the New York Times to be particularly compelling. The article is written by a non-geek, non-hardcore gamer, but Seth Schiesel’s piece will make the most apathetic computer person hungry for Blizzard’s new mega-hit. StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty sounds like a surefire winner.

alicia keys, empire state of mind, entrepreneur state of mind, jay-z, the new dork

Patrick Stewart, aka Captain Jean-Luc Picard, just got promoted. Nope, he’s not an admiral with Starfleet. Patrick Stewart received a real-life title as the UK’s latest knight. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II knighted the Shakespearean actor and Star Trek icon in a ceremony last Wednesday.
All hail Sir Patrick, defender of the galaxy! Er, we mean, defender of Her Royal Majesty!
