EXTRALIFE – By Scott Johnson

Love it. Title they created is a little offensive though.

If you’re a Star Trek fanatic, then you probably already know some (if not all) of these. I, who just dabbles in it casually, have not. Either way, they are pretty interesting and worth a glance. Here’s an excerpt:

2. Mr. Spock’s skin color was originally different.
Originally, Gene Roddenberry and friends wanted Spock’s skin to be a dark red, or at least to have a red tint. This was abandoned when they realized that on black-and-white TVs, Spock’s skin would look black, possibly as if Spock was in blackface. Plus Leonard Nimoy would have needed hours more in makeup every morning.

Now, I know that a lot of Frogpants aficionados, like our very own Scott, are also fans of authors like Patrick Rothfuss and Jim Butcher, which is why I just knew you’d love to see this video of Patrick Rothfuss interviewing Jim Butcher.

Thanks to Shawn Speakman over at the Suvudu blog for putting together this twenty minutes of magic.

Based on some audio he pulled out of TMS when we were talking about He-Man. Love it!

Yep. Doing an auction for a local school charity. Interested? I drew all over it! Check it out.

I myself am not from Utah, but given Scott’s penchant for the “Utah Connection” I figured I’d do him a favour and post this here.
