Looks like Abrams has cast the villain for the follow up Star Trek movie reboot.  Benedict Cumberbach, what a great name.  I first saw this guy in the BBC Sherlock update.  Great show and a fantastic actor.  If you can find and have the time, it is only 3 or 4 episodes, I highly recommend checking it out.

Also of note.  The Star Trek movie has moved its release date to May 17, 2013.  Yes that is next year. Boo!

Seems some smart guys over at that Harvard place have been working with Mice on aging.   This puts us one step closer to rich people living forever.  Good new Dick Clark.

The only negative I saw in this article was the chance for these mice to break out and rule the world.

I finally started my long talked about audio podcast.  It is called Rhetoric Nation which is the name I picked last year when I was going to launch the cast as an all politics talk show.  However I have been a bit sour on the political front this last six months and I wanted to broaden the scope of the show to all things interesting to me.   I kept the name for two reasons, one I like it and the other I own the domain for two years.

So what can you expect to hear on this podcast?  Me and me and a lot more of me.  It will cover my views and opinions on a wide range of topics.  I am hoping to have guests join me and listeners participate  as the show progresses.

The show will record live on Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific on my tinychat channel – www.tinychat.com/jimkirks please join me so you can heckle me live.  Check the rhetoricnation.com site for upcoming topics.  You will be able to listen/download the show on Mondays on the main site and through iTunes.

Please take a listen to the first show and tell me what you think.  I know, I talk a lot.
