From a long pause in my blogging I return with the classic book that ended Frank Herbert’s Dune series; Chapterhouse: Dune.

New Syfy Channel Science Fiction shows
Syfy channel have produced a couple of great science fictions over the years but lately it’s been a lot of reruns and reality shows and not a whole lot of Scifi on there. But a couple of new interesting sound shows have been added, some with space-sounding names, check the series after the break.
T5 Universe risen from the ashes.
I had a talk with T5 about reopening T5 Universe but this time on a WordPress based system to make it easier for users to use and comment on the site itself. I still have a huge workload so I’m not able to update the site as frequently as I have in the past. But out of the box the site still looks and feels very plain but that will change. Features I’ve added in already are logins by Google and Facebook, Twitter coming in a bit later when I get around to it. Social sharing will be added in soon as well.
