DoddemaGen

I saw this article in a semi-recent forum post and had to post it.  It’s somewhat of an addendum of what’s upcoming in the Star Trek universe.  From the sheer quantity of Trek books to be released, one wonders if the publishers are again meeting consumers/fans demand for quality Trek books.

Images from the upcoming Destiny saga.  These alone are worth their weight in gold.

SimonSays continues the onslaught with the post Destiny novels.  Following are some of the covers for those novels:

My next article will feature some of the additional upcoming novels

I just got done with Fearful Symmetry, the lastest DS9 novel and I’m ready for more. Unfortunately, Star Trek has slowed way down with releasing their books. Where we could expect a few a month, we’re lucky to get one a month.

Here’s the schedule for the upcoming year from krad at Simonsays.com:

August: TNG: Greater than the Sum by Christopher L. Bennett
September: ENT: Kobayashi Maru by Andy Mangels & Michael A. Martin
October: Destiny Book 1: Gods of Night by David Mack
November: Destiny Book 2: Mere Mortals by David Mack
December: Destiny Book 3: Lost Souls by David Mack
January: TOS: Errand of Fury Book 3: Sacrifices of War by Kevin Ryan
February: A Singular Destiny by Keith R.A. DeCandido
March: Titan: Over a Torrent Sea by Christopher L. Bennett
April: VOY: Full Circle by Kirsten Beyer
May: Vanguard Book 4 by Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore

I’m excited about it! I really am but if anybody has noticed…DS9 isn’t on that list. Supposedly the continuation to Fearful Symmetry won’t be out until after May 2009. Oh vey!!!!  Luckily, I have monthly Trek comics and several of them are in the works.  God does love me!

The move has kept us insanely busy.  Unpacking, painting, sorting, organizing, yard work, more painting, repairs…it almost feels like we bought the home but yet we’re just renting.  Loads of work needs to be done to actually call this place a “home”.

Sort of like all the work that needs to be done with this site.  My good friend, Mr Papa (Steve), is walking me through the process of moving all Gallery2 photos over to the new built-in WordPress gallery.  It’s one of my goals for this upcoming week.  Another goal is to work in inputting all the information that others have sent me.  It’s taken a long time to get everything situated and now with the new version of Legacy7, it should make things loads easier.

Another goal is to make the site more “accessible” to family.  Right now, I’m getting the feeling that people think that this is just my site and that they can’t participate.  I’m trying to find a way to change that.  Here’s what I’ve come up with….but not definite as of yet.

It’s called BuddyPress.  Here’s some sites to look at to get a better idea what it does: New BuddyPress theme and BuddyPress.  Why BuddyPress?  One of the things that I love about Joomla is one of their plugins called “Community Builder” where extended profiles can be made.  It shows your information such as name, interests and also adds recent photos that you’ve added and groups that you belong to.

Social networking is a hot thing right now with MySpace and FaceBook the leaders.  Personally I can’t stand MySpace and FaceBook just isn’t my thing.  This has potential.  This is where DoddemaGen could and should be headed….where everybody has their own space but yet all interconnected.

So…what do you say?  Should we consider it?

From Josiah Matthew Doddema to his mother, Kara Lynn Doddema:

Have you just wondered why parents are so annoying that just want them to shut up.  Well I’ve got news for you.  Your parents love you, especially your mother.  She’s the one that brought you into the world.  If you had no one but guys, this world would be pretty disgusting but with girls it sorta makes this world a little bit beautiful.

Now go and give your mother a giant bear hug and a sloppy kiss cause this day is all about mom’s.  So give it all you’ve got.  She really is beautiful.  You’re just unbelievable!
