I think we're going to need a new regular guest blogger

Well, the LMC has sent a burst transmission that he's hunky-dory ensconsed in the tender-loving care of Mother Army deep in the sandbox, and it's prime early BBQ season, so we won't be getting anything out of the Fabulous Chai-Rista for awhile. This leaves our new up and coming regular guest Gary the X-Donk, who (Mets posting aside) has been doing a great job.

Until. Now.

It seems we are going to lose the talents of Gary as he traispses down this nerdhole of infamy that Pajiba alerts us to:

Staying on the cable side of things for a minute, SciFi has put an interesting little online package together with the Battlestar Galactica Videomaker Toolkit. It basically includes various visual and audio effects that folks can use to create their own fan flicks. Those videos can then be submitted to the website to be seen by all, and one lucky filmmaker will actually get to see their short aired during an episode of the show later this season. Fan films are, of course, rarely worth their salt and usually blow hard. But I still love the idea of this, of the show and the network getting behind its fanbase and doing something to help keep an intimate atmosphere between the fans and the show.

Alas, poor Gary, we knew him well.

Now you've gone and done it. I have been hiding the knowledge of that little time suck from my husband for four days, hoping against hope that, having finally reclaimed him from those damn hampsters, that he might actually be free for conversation of an evening. *sigh* There goes that idea.
