This is the USS Enterprise.
"to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new lives and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before". Warp speeds and time machines, alternate parallel worlds & federation ships and most of all the USS Enterprise with William Shatner as the inimitable hero, James T. Kirk of the Starship USS Enterprise. The ultimate sci-fi fantasy franchise - Star Trek. Watched the latest 2009 movie and oh, my god, did i relive the fantasy or what. Chris Pine as J.T.Kirk was not bad but Shatner has always been incomparable. Now after watching his Boston Legal, it is no wonder to have hoped that the young Kirk should have inherited some ounce of wit from his older counterpart. Anyways, the movie was awesome with some pretty good settings and some fine acting.

The scholastic aptitude of my generation
The lucidity of written word in today's generation is fantastic, to say the least. Thanks to blogging and the social networking sites, the thought of stringing words together, on the web atleast, does not scare the youth of today. Incidentally, the idea of self-expression in an environment which is non-judgemental is very appealing to all. Added to this, is the expanse of knowledge floating around freely on the internet waiting for one and all to tap. The wiki-revolution, for there is no other word to describe it, has put knowledge at everyone's finger-tips. The definition of a scholar is all set for a drastic change now, thanks to the ever-growing population of markedly clever, charming, witty and learned friends of my generation. Its comforting to know that there is wildly knowledgeable bunch of us willing/waiting to help better the world. Hail to thee, my scholarly counterparts!!!!
