Sitting at a table in the convention food court on Sunday, we received a tweet from one of our followers congratulating us on an award we had won from Ex Astris Scientia. Wait what? An award? We quickly checked out ex-astris-scientia.org and sure enough, we had won the EAE award for November 2010. Just about any Trek fan knows that Ex Astris Scientia is an internet authority on all things Star Trek canon and EAS has been giving out it's EAE awards since 1999. We're so thrilled and honored to receive the award!

Here's what Ex Astris Scientia had to say about us:

We had a blast at WizardWorld's Austin Comic-con this weekend and we even got the chance to talk with Star Trek's own Walter Koenig. During our brief interview, Walter told us about the upcoming audio drama release of "Buck Alice and the Actor Robot". Based on his book of the same name, the radio drama will be available for sale tomorrow (November 15th) through Amazon.

Welcome to Day 3 of our live coverage of the Austin Comic-con 2010. We've had a blast the last couple of days and WizardWorld puts on a heckuva show. We'll be rooming the convention floor today taking photos and commenting on what we see. Check out the full coverage below.

Here's our live coverage of the Austin Comic-con, Day 2. We had a blast covering Day 1 and look forward to all of the great Q&A sessions Day 2 has to offer. Walter Koenig has a scheduled Q&A session today, plus Billy D. Williams & Ray Park. We'll be bringing you those and all the wild stuff that happens on the show floor. Check out our full coverage below.

Check out our live coverage of the Austin Comic-con Day 1 below. Today's coverage could be filed under "Not Star Trek, but still awesome." Walter Koenig's Q&A will be tomorrow, but today we'll be covering all the awesome costumes & star Q&As we can handle. Enjoy!

What kid didn’t wish that just once their mom would say, “Now put that book down! Turn that TV on! And watch some Star Trek!” Ok, maybe it was just me, but come on, how cool would that have been? Now, if you take one of Professor Daryl Frazetti’s courses that may become a reality. Many of you may know Daryl from the documentaries “Trekkies” and “Trekkies 2.” More recently he’s using his knowledge of Star Trek and other science fiction in the Anthropology courses he teaches and a book he is currently writing. To help in the data collection for his upcoming book, “The Anthropology of Star Trek” he has created a short Star Trek Fandom survey  that you can take now through the end of November.

** UPDATE ** Due to some licensing issues and out of professional courtesy to The FX Company & CBS Consumer Products, we've edited our article.  Unfortunately, this wickedly awesome Enterprise model won't be available for purchase any time soon.  

See, it even makes Deanna Troi sad.  

Check out the edited article below.

Many Trek fans have the various ships from Star Trek as the centerpiece of their Trek culture collections. We've all seen the different models from Diamond Select, Master Replicas, QMX, and even Playmates, but none seem to compare to those built by the FX Company. Deemed the largest licensed scale reproduction of the Enterprise, the ship measures 34.5 inches long and boasts a complex controllable lighting system. We actually got a chance to check out the "old gal" at the Star Trek Fan Days in Plano and can say that she is magnificent.

Since watching Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time, we've been huge fans of the LCARS interfaces that have graced the display screens from TNG to Voyager and every movie in-between. Not familiar with LCARS? Sorry, you have to turn in your Trek fan badge at the door. Seriously though, you may not know the acronym, but you most certainly have seen the interface. Short for Library Computer Access & Retrieval System, LCARS is the multi-colored interface that usually has pill-shaped buttons and adorns everything from door panels to helm controls on all 24th century Federation ships. There's also a huge subculture in the Trek community that does nothing but design and recreate LCARS panels and emulates the controls on various modern day devices. We've seen it on jailbroken iPhones, laptops, touchscreen tablets, and Nokia smartphones. Heck, we even threw our hat in the LCARS ring with our PADDed Kindle project.

Watching "Star Trek: Generations", who hasn't wanted their very own version of Stellar Cartography. Thanks to NASA, it's now available. Called "Eyes on the Solar System" and developed by Caltech & JPL, it's a 3-D environment full of real NASA mission data. According to the "Eyes on the Solar System" website you can explore the cosmos from your computer. Hop on an asteroid. Fly with NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft. See the entire solar system moving in real time. It's up to you. You control space and time.
