Posters: To Boldly Go
Star Trek: To Boldly Go Cover Series by London-based George Caltsoudas
Okay, as a rule, I don't read Star Trek comics, but these covers from George Caltsoudas are giving me second throughts. I think Caltsoudas would do well selling these as a poster series. Alas, if you want the full set, you'll just have to settle for browsing his Behance gallery for now.

Fan Film: Star Trek: Horizon
A four-year dream has finally concluded for one fan. Since 2012, a group of dedicated fans of Star Trek: Enterprise have been working towards completing a fan film paying tribute to the franchise, and now it's finally here. Star Trek: Horizon is pretty damn impressive considering its budget! If you're a fan of the series, this is a must-watch!
"Star Trek - Horizon is a feature-length fan film made by a single filmmaker as a personal passion project and love letter to Enterprise, the fifth Star Trek series. Pre-production began in December of 2012 and this 3-year-long odyssey concluded on February 25th, 2016. It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
The Coalition of Planets, a young alliance of worlds led by Earth, is at war with the Romulan Empire. Desperate for a chance to gain the upper hand in the war, the Coalition forms an alliance with T'mar, a Romulan deserter, in the hopes that she can provide valuable intelligence on her former masters."

Video: Star Wars vs Star Trek
In response to a question from Rolling Stone reporter Tessa Stuart, Bill Nye the Science Guy weighs in on the debate about which franchise is better, Star Wars or Star Trek.
It’s not surprising that Nye finds the “optimistic view of the future
with science” in Star Trek more appealing than the “Shakespearian” story
of Star Wars.

Humor: ST:NG Ships meet Nose-to-Nose
"Star Trek Ships always meet Nose-to-Nose" by Dave Kellett of Sheldon Comics
I'm pretty sure that this was the entire point of Wrath of Khan, but it deserves further discussion. Why do ships in the Star Trek universe always meet nose to nose? It makes zero sense.

Fresh Take: Borg Naval Battle
Prints available for purchase from Imagekind. US$10 - $51
What if Star Trek: The Next Generation had been set in a different era? Would it have detracted from the power of the series? If your knee jerk reaction is yes, give this piece a hard look. In it, Mirsad Agic re-imagines the Enterprise as a seafaring vessel and the Borg cube as a pirate vessel reminiscent of the Flying Dutchman from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
I've always been a fan of science fiction as fantasy, and I think Agic is on to something here.

Project: Enterprise-D Construction Project
The Enterprise-D Construction Project
is an ambitious one-man project to recreate the Enterprise-D in its
entirety using Unreal Engine 4, drawing from a variety of sources
including both the official blueprints by Rick Sternbach and the earlier Ed Whitefire blueprints. By all reports the final model aims to reproduce all 42 decks of the Enterprise in extreme detail, right down to the ship's roving, 80's era house plants. The project isn't publicly available yet, but you can take a virtual tour showing off decks 1–4, including the bridge and main shuttle bay.
The project is currently just a hobby for creator Jason B, but he's already considering populating the ship, offering a chance to explore the exteriors of stations such as Deep Space Nine, and maybe one day incorporating game mechanics. The creator is considering the possibility of crowdfunding campaigns to fund the project.
Personally, I'm looking forward to finally seeing the aquatics lab and cetacean tanks, from which a group of Bottlenose dolphins is alleged to have assisted in the navigation of Galaxy-class starships. It's one of those tidbits of trivia that gets hotly debated by drunk trekkies in the parking lot of Star Trek conventions.

Illustration: The Star Trek Alphabet
Prints available for purchase from the author's website. US$5 - $25
Illustrator Carly Strickland has assembled what might be the nerdiest children's alphabet book ever. If I had a kid, it's room would be plastered with these prints... which may be part of the reason I don't have kids. In the meantime, you need to check out Strickland's art Tumblr. It's filled with her trek illustrations, and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Link Round-Up: Sci-Fi Ambient Noise
Some people relax to music, some people like to leave the television on in the background, but personally, I prefer some soft ambient background noise. As someone with a job that requires me to spend massive amounts of time working alone, I find that silence leave me "itchy" but music tends to be too distracting. No matter how little attention I'm paying to the music, I find myself groping for the pause button every time I have to concentrate on something.
Of course, as a hard core geek, I don't just settle for any ambient noise. Let's face it, as a kid who crisped if sat too near a window, the sound of rain and gentle breezes is really a non-starter. Sci-fi themed ambient noise in my jam. Here, I've rounded up a list of links to some of the nerdiest ambient soundtracks to be found around the web.
Of course, you don't like any of the ambient noise soundtracks posted below, you could always mix your own with the Warp Speed SciFi Background Noise Generator or the "Aboard the Enterprise" and "Mid-Voyage" sound consoles over at Ambient-Mixer.com.
