It’s time for another catch-up update, this time to many of the Star Trek ship comparison charts and references. Oh, and thanks to Prodigy, some notable entries to the list of Doctorisms.

A pretty notable milestone is coming up: this November will mark the 20th anniversary of the launch of Memory Alpha. In anticipation of the anniversary, Florian K (founder of the German edition of MA) reached out to reconnect with me, Harry, and Jan for a great conversation about the Memory Alpha project. We talk about our recollections of how Memory Alpha got its start, our own introductions to the franchise, and how crazy it is that this little fan project is not only still around 20 years later, but has grown to become the biggest and best Star Trek reference in the world. The two-hour conversation is viewable as a playlist on YouTube.
(This actually published more than a month ago, so yes, I’m terrible at [self] promotion.)

It’s time to play catch-up: the starship comparison charts and references are updated with the newest ships from Lower Decks, Picard, and Strange New Worlds.

It’s just a tiny little change, but I swapped the order of the Resources and Articles sections on the front page and in the site header and footer. After all, shouldn’t the most popular section of the site be listed first? I don’t know why I had it the other way around.

I’ve made some long-overdue changes to how to view and zoom images on the website. Now, when you click on an image, you not only get the full-size view, but also easy navigation buttons to browse all the images. This is especially handy for the image galleries!

I’ve been posting to Twitter for 14 years, but the time has come for me to move on. I’ve summarized my somewhat-scattered thoughts in a blog post. All links to my old Twitter profile have been removed and replaced with links to my new Mastodon account.

Time for another small update to the starship comparison charts, with some updated ship images, plus some new ships from the movie Interstellar and the series For All Mankind.
(If you’re not watching For All Mankind, you really should. It’s amazing!)

Who doesn’t love a good meme? I’ve pulled together a few of the Star Trek memes I’ve made over the past few years. Some were posted to Twitter, some just shared with friends. (I’d like to think they’re all funny.)

The cross-series starship comparison charts have been given a complete overhaul. I tried to find newer, higher-resolution images wherever possible, and took the time to provide links to document the source of the sizes I used (if available). I also made a few tweaks to the Star Trek charts as well. (One notable change was a ship, previously marked as non-canon, that got to have its badge removed thanks to Picard!)
Fun fact: There are 926 ships in my comparison charts, and 598 of them are from Star Trek (86 of them non-canon). That’s... quite a bit more than I thought.

After many years and several false starts, I’ve finally made some good progress on actually documenting the sizes and images listed in my starship comparison charts. Check out the reference tables for the Star Trek ships. (The other charts to come... later.)
