Hello World!

Yesterday I finally bit the bullet and rearranged my computer layout to be more ergonomically correct, since the position I'd been sitting in for the last few months wasn't particularly good for my back, even if I was able to watch TV and use the computer at the same time.

Unfortunately, in rearranging everything on my desk (and moving the desk itself), I discovered something else that needed doing when I managed to disturb several layers of dust and spent the rest of the afternoon sneezing.

• Majel Roddenberry Interview
  Majel Roddenberry talked about her involvement in the new Gene Roddenberry series Andromeda. "I've been awful lot of hands off on that. We've got people up there who are absolutely capable of taking care of all the day-by-day stuff that goes by. Kevin [Sorbo] is there and I would trust Kevin with my life, so I don't see any need to go any further."
