A rundown of the evolving branding of (now extinct) UPN affiliate KFDF, with the odd logo that was adopted early at the end of 1996. (Weird as that sentence reads, every word is in the right place.) Infinite Sheep gets bent out of shape. #localtv could be weird. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoyB...
Why did the old fella cross the road? Because he was running from a Road Pizza and/or trying not to become one. An obscure #AppleII oddity gets the Phosphor Dot Fossils treatment. #retrogaming #retrocomputing www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnPd...
If you haven't already...
#PacMan had a pal. When this arcade oddity crossed the Pacific, Pac-Man's pal became his faithful dog from the cartoon. Phosphor Dot Fossils takes the odd localization Pac-Man & Chomp Chomp for walkies. #retrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHBo...
Ms. Pac is back, the monsters are on the attack, and there are a few new twists too! Time to give the highly customizeable #Intellivision port of Ms. Pac-Man the ol' Phosphor Dot Fossils bite. #retrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=CndR...
Is this the best television script Gene Roddenberry wrote prior to creating #StarTrek ? Gene’s singular episode of the popular medical drama Dr. Kildare is a powerful story full of rich characters and raw emotions – the bedrock of great television drama. www.missionlogpodcast.com/a-distant-th...
Another recent video that didn't get a post in real time: It's a Pac-Man's world on the TI 99/4a, until Ms. Pac-Man comes along to demand equal chomping rights. This port of the dot-gobbling arcade classic undergoes the Phosphor Dot Fossils #retrogaming taste test. www.youtube.com/watch?v=agv0...
The strategy board game classic gets a digital do-over on the #atari2600. Is Activision's version of Checkers the king? Time to take the Phosphor Dot Fossils approach to finding out. #retrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy4l...
From the recent-but-neglected-to-post-about-it files: Promo spots for programming can be fun. Until someone decrees that it all has to fit in with sports somehow. But the shows have nothing to do with sports. This sounds like a job for Infinite Sheep. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBQS...
Target: The Corruptors! was a crime drama that unfolded from the perspective of an ace newspaper reporter. #GeneRoddenberry turned in a script that was significantly altered prior to broadcast. Find out what happens in both versions of “To Wear A Badge”. www.missionlogpodcast.com/to-wear-a-ba...
Repel all boarders! Pirates have swarmed Momotaru's ship, and all he has to defend himself - or hide behind - is the ship's cargo aboard Pirate Ship Higemaru. Due to this game's subject matter, it is strictly rated arrrrrr, matey! #rétrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwPT...
There are so many reasons to love Lt. Erica Ortegas from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds... and not just because she flies the ship!
Let's talk about 5 things that make her a bad@$$ in the latest Ranking with Roddenberry! youtu.be/tppRh6Ulup4

On this week's #MissionLogGeneology, @thelogbook.bsky.social & I take a look at another unsold pilot from #GeneRoddenberry. "A. P. O. 923" is interesting, & gives us the first prototype of Kirk, Spock, and Bones. Give us a listen! CC: @roddenberrypod.bsky.social #StarTrek #nerdlyfe buff.ly/kBA7nHC
In 1961, Gene Roddenberry wrote a pilot script closer to home than any western: a script about World War II from a former pilot who served in World War II. Despite writing what he knew, “A.P.O. 923” fell short, but there are still hints of #StarTrek yet to come. www.missionlogpodcast.com/apo-923/
It was such a treat to chat about this week's #StarfleetAcademy on We Are Starfleet. Join Mike, Craig, & me, along w/ special guest @thelogbook.bsky.social as we discuss "Series Acclimation Mil." Available wherever you get your podcasts! #StarTrek #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy #nerdlyfe buff.ly/6mCNNrV
So what’s going on with The Doctor anyway?
I have to wonder if a bit of it is survivors guilt.

I don't always add new designs to theLogBook's Teepublic store, but when I do, it's with ~12 hours left in the 40% off sale! www.teepublic.com/user/thelogb...
The war against the Galaxians never quite ended as long as Atari kept them around in cartridge form. We give the #atari5200 port of Galaxian the Phosphor Dot Fossils once-over to see if it's ready for either flight or fight. #rétrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=2apu...
One secret agent. One very busy elevator car. A lot of secrets. And a lot of enemies to take down while you're going down. An arcade classic gets a long-overdue pitch-perfect remake on the #atari2600, and it's heading for the Phosphor Dot Fossils floor. #retrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-9x...
New stuff still shows up on theLogBook.com itself, not just videos on YouTube - and it was well past time to class things up with some #StarfleetAcademy coverage, both new and old, since theLogBook always has one foot planted firmly in yesterday, and another one on tomorrow.
There's a bunch of creatures, one from the Black Lagoon and some others from the Street. #SesameStreet that is. I have no idea who's in there, but I do have a pretty good idea of who I'd like to be in there. Let's open 'em up and see what happens. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWOG...
Just when you thought you'd seen every version of Dig Dug out there, Phosphor Dot Fossils digs into the underground arcade classic to see how deep the danger lurks on the TI 99/4a, and how faithful Dig Dug on cartridge is to the arcade original. #rétrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLhV...
Maybe times are tough, maybe you're a hardened criminal, maybe you got one NSF charge too many. Take out your frustrations on the #Atari2600 game Bank Heist! Time to put it to the Phosphor Dot Fossils test to answer: does crime play if it doesn't pay? #retrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=eulH...

The fate of the last human family is in the hands of someone trying to hang on to two #Atari5200 joysticks simultaenously. The latest edition of Phosphor Dot Fossils reveals... the last human family may be totally hosed. #rétrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CI0...
Back in 1996 or 97 I made a spot for Alpha Omega Software. The copy I have of the spot may not be what hit the air. There's also video of me making the spot, which is almost harder to explain. Pull up a seat with the Infinite Sheep and grab a slice of video toast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMDX...
