Red Alert! Shields Up!

Got some friends together on Sunday to try out Artemis — a “spaceship bridge simulator” game where each person takes on a different role and we work together to successfully complete the mission: helm, weapons, science, engineering, communications, command.  We did have some “technical difficulties” and some “minor disasters” (our ship sometimes completely destroyed) but everybody enjoyed the experience — it was a lot of geeky fun!

Darlene was busy working but she was there in spirit — particularly after she sent a photo of herself in uniform.  (Yes, those boots may not be “Starfleet regulation” — but I wholeheartedly approve!)

BBQ Lunch, Mentos and Diet Coke

After seeing a spectacular video demonstration (via eepybird.com) making the rounds on the net, we thought we would have a little fun ourselves at our department’s BBQ lunch.  Of course, five bottles has only just whetted our appetite — we’ll have to try some more “experiments” soon!
