Star Trek: the Next Generation Valentine’s Day Cookies: For Your Number One

Posted in: Today's Chili

This year, give her the gift of sugar in the shape of Star Trek things. Her heart will melt. Just ask her if she wants to go on a Data and tell her that Resistance is Futile. My holodeck or yours? Actually, just give her these cookies. Forget the cheesy lines.

These amazingly geeky Star Trek: The Next Generation cookies come from Mike of Semi Sweet Designs. He’s like the suave bearded Riker of baked goods. I love how the uniforms are shaped like hearts. The detail is really great. They even have luster dust on the insignia pieces and disco dust for the transporter beam.

Mike was even kind enough to share details on how to make your own Star Trek cookies. Make it so, number one. Be my Valentine.

Enterprise-D restoration fundraiser goes live: your chance to revive a slice of Star Trek is here

Posted in: Today's Chili

Star Trek Enterprise D bridge

For sci-fi lovers, it’s on. A fan-devised project to restore the Enterprise-D bridge from Star Trek: The Experience is now actively raising cash on Indiegogo with a newly estimated $240,000 target needed to make the dream real. Crowdfunding brings the obligatory perks for larger donations, although they take on a progressively nerdy bent once you get past the t-shirts. It peaks at getting replicas of Captain Kirk’s original chair or an LCARS terminal, and you can even get a romantic evening on the deck with “complete privacy until the next morning” — wink, wink. Outlandish? Maybe, but the project is getting official sponsors and has a shorter-term plan to get Captain Picard’s chair ready for display by October. The whole bridge should be ready by late 2013. If you’d wished Paramount had preserved this piece of The Next Generation history for the ages, you now have your solution.
