So I just got a request to do an interview with Brent Spiner, aka "Data" from Star Trek. He's a musician/cabaret performer now. Any suggested questions?

How does he feel about synthetic music?

Doctor Who fans build life-size, flying Tardis to celebrate show’s 50th anniversary

Ramblers may have received a surprise this week when a life-size replica of the Tardis from hit TV show Doctor Who took to the skies.
Three fans built their own iconic blue police box to celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary. Ben Whiting, 32, Rupert Brandon-King, 31, and Ben Bailey, 25, worked together on the project ahead of its maiden flight over the countryside in Hatherleigh, Devon, this week.
The flight lasted just a few minutes, however, when a battery shortage sent the Tardis crashing towards the ground. And it could be the last time a flying Tardis is spotted in Devon, after the time machine was damaged beyond repair.
The trio work together at Flyonix, a company specialising in remote aerial cinematography for film and TV.

A Science Icon Died 17 Years Ago. In His Last Interview, He Made A Warning That Gives Me Goosebumps.

Carl Sagan inspired a generation of scientists with his work in and out of the classroom. But he didn't always present science with cheer. In this clip, he passionately defends science with a grave warning. It's something we all need to hear.

"People must be educated and practiced in their skepticism . . . otherwise we don't run the government, the government runs us" -Carl Sagan

I like that . . . just saw this last night, the future of government drone surveillance . . .

One of the music festivals I went to in the summer were using surveillance drones. I'm not sure whether they were police or security operated - either way, I really, really disliked the big brother atmosphere they created! And don't get me started on drone attacks!!..........

Scary indeed, someone should ask the Grasshopper vape pen guys about their new drone they just released
