  1. I was just telling a friend yesterday how watching Star Trek helped me pass chemistry. Since I’d seen The Devil in the Dark episode (with the Horta) I knew that the answer to the chemistry test question about what other element, besides carbon, might be a basis for life had to be silicon. Thanks for the smile.

  2. Wonderful connection!

    I totally agree about “writing what you know” . . . so many people pick a “niche” for what they view as the marketing potential. You don’t have to totally be an expert, but at least have something to say without regurgitating it from other people.

    Thanks for an entertaining and thought provoking take on an old fav. Must. Write. Good. Blog.

  3. Right on target. Being familiar with your subject gives you opinions credibility. You will often write with more confidence when you are familiar with the subject, and that confidence shows in your work.

  4. Thanks for the article. Not only did I get some good information, but I feel like I just saw an episode of Star Trek. Live long and prosper.

  5. Yes, you’re crazy, Shane. It was a communicator.

    Any time you can use “He’s dead, Jim” in a subhead, you’ll make me happy. I also very much like “chronic clarity deficiency,” I will be using that again.

    TOS FTW!

  6. I love these themed articles!
    Winnie the Pooh, General Motors, Star Trek.
    I challenge Brian Clark to write an incisive, authoritative blogging article using the theme of…
    Teletubbies!
    🙂

  7. Words of wisdom. “He’s dead, Jim – move on…”, like most other points, has a wider appeal. It talks about letting go at the right time. Great post Mark – I am a first time visitor and shall keep coming back

  8. I’m afraid my writing wil not be winning any awards any time soon. But it seems ot get my point across clear enough to my readers.

    And well done mixing in Star Trek, awesome

  9. Love the Star Trek analogy. Spock always knew what he was talking about. I wonder if he wrote a blog if it would be interesting or boring. Ah, the great questions of life!

    Beam me up, Scotty.

  10. I really enjoyed the article. Fantastic idea. You did a great job of bringing up my memories while explaining the context for those who might not have them. The unexpected angle made me think a little extra about a couple of the familiar points.

  11. I’m no Trekky, but I often refer back to my favorite Bones quote of all time…

    “What we need now, Spock, is a little less analysis and a lot more action!”

    In content development, business, life… words to live by.

  13. I certainly love the way you described his way of working and I think you really got McCoys personality right, but I can’t agree with one thing you wrote in your introduction: You wrote that he’s much better than House, because he has an heart in contrast to him, but House even risks his life for his patients and with his primitive technology he rescued more people.
