What a lovely little post-credits tribute to Sir Patrick Stewart on tonight’s episode of The Graham Norton Show, displaying his great wit and warmth. Rest in peace, Sir Patrick.

Patrick Stewart. Turned up so early and so unobtrusively to be a star in the reasonably priced car, we mistook him for a delivery driver and asked him to go round the back. Took his hat off and said, “But I’m the captain of the Enterprise”. Fucking nice guy.

Live long and prosper! Star Trek first premiered on television 60 years ago today in 1966. Over at ILM.com, we're celebrating the occasion with a two-part deep dive into our decades of work on the iconic franchise. In Part 1, writer Jay Stobie talks with Ken Ralston and Kirk Thatcher about ILM's contributions to The Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock, and The Voyage Home.

James Tolkan has died at 94.
"Son, your ego's writing checks your body can't cash." - Top Gun (1986)
This scene is a masterclass in movie shorthand. In seconds you get Maverick’s attitude, his history, how he flies, and the entire setup. And Tolkan absolutely nails it.

Before I loved Doctor Who, I loved The Box of Delights. This year, I was given the dream job - producing a feature length doc exploring that show's production. You can see TIME AND TIDE: MAKING THE BOX OF DELIGHTS on the new BBC Box bluray, pre-order here! amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DHW48TM3/

RIP James Earl Jones 😭😭😭
The voice of Darth Vader, from 1977 to The Rise of Skywalker, is gone. The narrator of Judge Dredd (1995) was also in Dr. Strangelove, SG-1, Conan, The Great White Hope, The Lion King, The Hunt for Red October, and so many classics.
He was 93.

In 39 years, Vulcans will set foot on Earth. More importantly, the Phoenix will be the first human ship to reach Warp 1!
Incidentally, it's also the birthday of the son of Ronald D. Moore, co-writer of Star Trek: First Contact (1996). Happy birthday, Jonathan.

It seems the Microsoft 365 spam filter has been marking legitimate emails as spam this evening…
It’s unclear at this point whether they’ll be re-analysing any emails that did get caught by the spam filter.. or whether items in the quarantine will need reviewing manually.

Microsoft love a domain name change.. don't they? Hopefully, this may be the last for a while..
All #Microsoft365 user-facing apps and services are migrating to *.cloud.microsoft - a move that will make things much simpler!

Last July, we asked "Tech Has a Huge Supply Chain Problem. When Will it End?" on our blog.
When we ordered some @meraki access points last October, they took 119 days to ship. We ordered some more a few weeks ago, and they shipped after just 4 days!
Maybe the answer is 2023?
