Caught half an episode of DS9 on SyFy earlier which reminded me that this exists.
Larp Trek is bloody hilarious and does a surprisingly good job of making Deep Space 9 make sense.

Kirk/Spock
I spotted these on Rocketboom and Kottke the other week but only just got round to watching them:
I think ‘strangely awesome’ is the only way I can describe them.

How to kiss a woman
By Captain Kirk
(thx to Carter)
Wired has a list of the Top 10 Geekiest Constructed Languages – it’s pretty much what you’d expect (Klingon, Sindarin, Fremen) but I was surprised that Lapine didn’t make the list, especially when Blade’s ‘Vampirese’ did:
An ancient vampire language from the Blade movies. The most noticeable aspect of this language are the glyphs, symbols tattooed on grunts to show their allegiance and drawn in UV ink defining the boundaries of various vampires’ territories. There’s even a vampire holy book written in the language, the Book of Erebus, featured in the first movie.
Do I believe the Book of Erebus was a book actually written in Vampirese? Or were they just sheets of parchment covered in glyphs suspended between glass to:
- Look cool
- Have vampires kicked through them
That aside Blade Runner’s City Speak isn’t one I would’ve thought of but is an inclusion I wholeheartedly agree with.

New Star Trek Trailer
The new Star Trek trailer’s up – I think of this Summer’s films this is probably looking hottest. The Wolverine trailer is looking a little disappointing, so it’s between this and Terminator: Salvation for me.
