Wow @microsoft.com. Thank you, so very much, for your new September 2026 Windows 11 update. You know — the one which rendered me completely unable to boot into Windows. You guys rock. (In other news, macOS 27 installed beautifully.)

I mean… 9.25! I'm more than happy to be slightly bested by "The Inner Light" and "In the Pale Moonlight"… Just sayin' 😉

So, I guess it's September 8th now. Like, the 60th of something. Happy anniversary. 😉

Exactly 20 years ago, we began principal photography on the first feature I directed, "Yesterday Was a Lie," for eOne (and later IndiePix). As I go into production on my newest film, I can't help but reminisce about those times long past with tremendous gratitude. "Where do you start?"… indeed. 🥲

One of the most traumatizing lines in sci-fi fandom: “Vila weighs 73 kilos.” RIP Michael Keating. You made it into orbit.

I've done a bit of math. In this image, the red lines represent the maximum area that would've been visible in the original '93 analog broadcast; the blue lines represent the minimum area that would've been visible (every CRT TV differed). 🙂

Amazing night… starting w/ incredible new doc BEAM ME UP SULU… followed by after-party-ing at SCUM AND VILLAINY. But the perfect nightcap was watching the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg, leaving a brilliant fiery trail across the starry sky. A fitting ending to a "Trek" evening, indeed!

James Kerwin @jameskerwin.com · 06/02/2026

Amazing. But… this hasn't got s--t on Doctor Who. The 1988 DW story "Remembrance of the Daleks" — set in November 1963 — includes a scene in which the first ever (1963) episode of DW begins to play on a TV. So the DW TV series exists within its own universe. 🤯

When I was very small and went to school in fall ’81, I had an assignment to draw my favorite memory from the past summer. I drew (a very simple, long-lost version of) this image. My teacher came over and said “Is that Indiana Jones?!” She proceeded to tell me how cool that was, and gave me an A. 👍🏼

The TV remote my great-uncle (grand-uncle?) had when I was small: an RCA "Victor" single-button unit which used sound to switch your TV on or off. It was released in the 50s, but he still had one when I was little… and I have vague memories of playing with it, thinking it was absolutely magical. 🥹

Happy (62nd!) birthday to the longest-running sci-fi franchise of them all. Don't @ me Trek peeps… you know I love you… it's not a competition! (Actually it is, and DW wins.) 😉

Somehow I figured out how to program our family's Apple IIc to reproduce Matt Trakker's "select agents best suited for this mission" program—w/ graphics of the characters and screen-accurate music—depending on the values you typed in. I have no idea how I accomplished this at 11 years old… but I did

I've been in a bizarre situation for the past several days in which no one — and I mean almost NO ONE — is responding to business emails or DMs (some of which are time-critical). Is there some weird internet outage I'm not aware of? 🤔

James Kerwin @jameskerwin.com · 01/09/2025

Not a joke; I have two Wi-Fi networks at my house (top). Tonight, I opened my Wi-Fi settings to find this. Whichever of my neighbors did this: Well played, sir. Well played. 🤣

Just received notice that the original camera masters and physical release copies of the feature I did in 2009 have been destroyed. It was overdue (long-term physical storage of films is impractical and wasteful at this point), but it still feels weird. Sigh.
