Boldly Winning

Posted by on Tue, January 4th, 2011 at 5:00 pm

Star Trek and Roddenberry remains one of the most recognizable names in Science Fiction and being a part of RoddenberrySearch.com brings me in contact with some amazingly dedicated fans and websites. Just one example is STARFLEET, the International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc. You know RoddenberrySearch.com is your landing place for the best in Star Trek and Roddenberry merchandise.

What you may not know is that for over 35 years, STARFLEET has provided Star Trek fans a way to meet each other, make friends, have fun, give back to their communities, and show that the dream of Gene Roddenberry can live long and prosper. The match is, literally, made in the heavens (sorry, couldn’t resist).

Recently, RoddenberrySearch.com joined forces with STARFLEET offering a truly out of this world prize: a Voyager PADD prop. A “postcursor” to the iPad, the Personal Access Display Device allows Starfleet to access data logs, duty rosters and diagnostic reports on the fly while traversing the universe.

Well, one thing that is universally true is that we love to see excited winners and love to share them with you. In that tradition let me introduce you to Jeff Higdon, winner of the PADD:

And lest you think Jeff is just a casual fan that got exceptionally lucky you should know that Jeff is the Region 12 Coordinator of STARFLEET, the International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc. He is a Vice Admiral in the organization and serves on the Board of Directors (Admiralty Board). He is also the commanding officer of the USS Black Hawk chapter of STARFLEET, a chapter based in Rockford, Illinois.

If you are already a member of RoddenberrySearch.com we invite you to check out STARFLEET at www.sfi.org and of course, Live Long and Prosper!

Who said Austin Powers would never inspire music?!?! Well, maybe I shouldn’t credit Mike Meyers with being the complete driving force behind Robyn’s “Fembot” release on her three part album “Body Talk.” Especially not since the song starts out with the lyrics “I’ve got some news for you, Fembots have feelings too, You split my ...
