Reviewing the Kyocera Rise by Virgin Mobile!

What about the HTC Inspire 4G!

I recently had to buy a new phone.   My HTC inspire got broken, sad to say but it does happen.   You know when you have to replace a  phone because of the screen glass is broken, kind of thing you don’t like to see happen.   It does though no matter how hard you try, it will happen eventually on most phones. Thank Good for the Worth Ave Group insurance coverage for Cell Phones, if i didn’t have that it would of been a pain to get this Cell phone.

A lot under the Hood!

There is a lot going on under that hood and I won’t go into much detail about this because I don’t want to bore you with details but what I will tell you is this:

  • Google Movies & TV — You can watch any show you own on Google with this little device.   So you can always keep up with shows or movies while on the Go!   I do suggest downloading them whenever possible using WIFI but it is still good to have while on the road!
  • Netflix — Although most phones do this it has the screen size to actually do a decent enough job of watching it through it!
  • Android 4.0 — I got mine with Android 4.0 but it had to be upgraded in firmware.   That is ok, it still is a nice phone!

The Kyocera Rise From Virgin Mobile is in fact a very good Phone.   I got signal where the HTC never did, although this is a 3G phone, it is still can go a lot more places.   I suspect it is because of the Sprint Network but it is only a guess.

I could go on and on about this phone but in all truth if you aren’t convinced now to buy it then you will never buy it.   I simply love this phone and it is going to be my main phone for quite a while until I can get enough money for even better phone maybe a Samsung Galaxy S3 or S2 from Virgin Mobile or Sprint, now that would be Sweet!

Why I joined Starfleet-command and How you can too!

The History Of Starfleet Command!

 

October, 1974 Starfleet Command, an international Star Trek fan club is founded in Lufkin, Texas USA.
Starfleet Command (SFC) is at the forefront of Star Trek organizations dedicated to space exploration. A fan club where friends come together to share their love of science fiction, science fact, and for some a chance to dream of being a part of the Star Trek universe.  [Via Website]

Star Trek and Me!

Growing up, you really only had a few good shows.   It wasn’t until Star Trek became syndicated that it grew in popularity and thus that is when I was became aware of Science Fiction.   It wasn’t something that I liked to talk about in Middle school or even High school but then I found so much more after I got out of High School.
After High school, I started watching Doctor Who, Stargate, Star Trek, and Babylon 5.  Although these are just the pick of the shows that I like to go back and watch.   It hasn’t been hard to find other Science Fiction Shows that I like to watch also!

Then I found Starfleet Command!

When I joined Starfleet in early 2000, it wasn’t something I thought I would keep doing but I did want to check it out and see what this club was all about.   Then I met a really dear and kind friend Paul Sundstrom, who was so pleasant to anyone and everyone in the fleet.   I couldn’t do anything else but to look up to the man and be amazed at how this club go be so non-judgemental about color, or even your background.   Without Paul’s help in understanding the fundelmentals of what Starfleet was about, I probably wouldn’t of stayed a member.   It was his influence in my life that made me dream about being a blogger and also wanting to help others.   It wasn’t until a few years later that he lost his life due to something that was personal to all who knew him.   God rest his soul, and I am proud to call him a friend.  He was with the Uss Halsey and I will always remember him and work hard at being like him.
I joined because I simply wanted to find others who also like Science Fiction and be part of a bigger picture.  
It wasn’t supposed to be this FUN, you’d think it would be boring and no one to talk to but you’d be wrong.   I’ve worked hard and enjoyed it all the way.   I never will regret my decision to stay with Starfleet Command and help them out as a Deputy Chief of Information Technology.   That however has recently changed from being the Deputy to actually being the Head of the department.

How you can Join?

If you want to be part of something bigger and better than you can imagine then it is time to think about Joining Starfleet Command.   Maybe you want to make your own ship or even join one of the many Ships that are out there.   You don’t have to be alone, it can be something fun or interesting.   What ever you decide you aren’t alone.   You have me, and I’ll be more than glad to help you and talk to you.   If you have a question, I’m here for you.   If you want help, I’m here.   I want you to be part of this group and make history in more ways than one.   Be apart of the excitement and make a difference in someone’s life by joining!

Reviewing “Continuum” — “Stitch in Time”, New Syfy Original Show!

Synopsis:

Inspector Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nicols) loses everything she has and finds herself on a new mission when she and eight dangerous terrorists are transported from their time in 2077 back to 2012 during the terrorist’s attempt to escape execution.

 Main Characters:

  • Alec Sadler (Erik Knudsen)
  • Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nicols)
  • Carlos Fonnegra (Victor Webster)

The Break Down! (Spoilers)

When I first saw this on Google, I was a little skeptical because of it being from Syfy but I still gave the show a looking at and the ratings on this are through the roof.   What I like about this show is many things.   

First things first, All the actors in the first episode were spot on with their acting.   Rachel Nicols made you believe she was out of sync when she goes back in time and thus makes you believe her character is actually from the future.   I love that first part of the episode but that isn’t all.   

CSI meets Science Fiction!

<I’m not saying this is for all Crime Scene Investigators fans but this is defiantly a start in the right direction for me.   All the main actors make you believe they know something that you don’t know and thus when you do finally find out you are quite amazed and they leave you wanting more.   I’ve only seen the first episode but the ending of this is what really gets me.   You see the Old Alec Sadler (William B. Davis) walking up to Kiera and introducing himself to her.   So it seems kind of strange because he is always smiling when he sees her!   Which gets me thinking there is something going on that we don’t quite know just yet!

You don’t necessary see anything like you see on CSI with reguards to finding evidence but it has that atmosphere going for it.   

Action packed!

This first episode is action pack with scenes where you see Kiera doing a lot of movement and dodging bullets and trying to fight the bad guys.   So you can’t help but wonder what is to come with her.  

They leave this first episode with you having many questions that must be answered in the coming season(s) and who is the actual bad guys and who are the actual good guys.   I won’t say to much about this but I bought the complete first season of this show just to keep up with the plot and to see how it goes.   I encourage all my readers to go check this show out and decide for your self but I promise this you won’t regret it!
