Random Notes and Other Links...
Is anybody real actually reading this site? The tracking numbers are confusing, and the many spam comments I need to delete (nothing but ads which seem to appear automatically with new posts) is discouraging. The site did go over 100 visitors one day last week, with several days approaching that. But what it means is unclear.
If you are actually reading this blog, please leave a comment, before I shut that function off. If automated bunnies advertising their commercial sites are all that's visiting, it's not worth the time policing the comments.
The series on why Star Trek became the best known mythology of the future continues with more structural examination on Trek as science fiction and TV drama. Baby boomers as well as Trek fans should enjoy the tour: there's also a brief note about the death of Robert Wise, legendary director of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "West Side Story," at Soul of Star Trek here.
And this may be more for family and friends, but I've posted some photos and a brief remembrance of my mother, Flora Severini Kowinski (that's her photo up top) to mark what would have been her 85th birthday. It's at Blue Voice here.

I check by every day to see if there might be anything interesting but don't often read everything as you post so much it's too much for my attention span. Aside from that, the Bush bashing gets old real fast.
As far as spammers, I think a lot of them are automated spambots. Blogspot has a free spam guard application that more and more bloggers are using. I activated it on mine and haven't had any spam since. It's just one of those deals that, before you can post your comment, you have to copy the letters they provide. So, people can do it but not the spambot.
All you need do to activate it is select that option in your dashboard. It should be on the Comments section of that page.
thanks for the feedback and the information, Fred. I've enabled the word verification.
Well, speaking personally as a non-automated bunny thing, I don't think the Bush-bashing gets old particularly quickly. Keep it up, I say.
It's not like you're not writing constructively anyway - you're not just calling him a useless moron. Which, frankly, would not be unjustified anyway.
