Today is Wednesday, the 12th day in the 12th month in the 12 year of the 2000s.
This is going to be the last sequential date for a long time, most likely the only sequential date we'll ever see in our lives.
It's amazing.
Awesome.
Scary.
Sad.
So, see you tomorrow.
Talmid Show 3: The Not-So-Final-End
I uploaded this a long time ago to my Youtube channel, just I haven't shown it here yet. So here's the third episode of Star Trek Talmidon as it is called unofficially, or officially known as The Talmid Show.
Prepare for awesomeness.
Who is the mystery bad guy? :0

Milestone: 800th Creation on the LEGO Universe Creation Lab
Last week I uploaded my 800th Creation on the Lego.com LEGO Universe Creation Lab Gallery, reaching a milestone no one has ever achieved, and maintaining my rank as the Lego.com user with the most creations uploaded in the LEGO Universe Creation Lab gallery, and perhaps all of Lego.com.
The creation, titled the USS Juggernaut, is an LDD build futuristic Star Trek-styled battleship used in a Star Trek-themed roleplay I take part in on the Creation Lab. I represent the United Federation of Planets under the name Fleet Captain Talmid, captain of the USS Talmidon III Refit, flagship of the elite Minuteman Division in Star Fleet. Currently I serve as representative to other galactic powers, such as the Phoenix Command Group, Minotaur Space Imperium, Martian Empire, Astro Planetary Exploration Force, and other mass-user-controlled groups. We take part in wargames, group wars, wars against Non Person Controlled groups (Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, Borg Collective, Orion Empire, etc.), and even NPC groups created by users for us to have fun with (Yor Collective, Spectre Borg, etc.). We also have created other NPC groups for us to ally with, which are loosely controlled by our alter-characters. In addition to that, we write stories detailing our characters and groups.
Back to the subject of my milestone. I currently have 801 creations, but lets' focus on the USS Juggernaut.
The Juggernaut class of starships serve mostly as blockade vessels because of their multitude of forward-firing torpedo launchers, and they serve their job well. For defense against smaller, agile enemy scouts that like zipping around at the starship and shooting at its blind spots, this ship carries a full compliment of Star Falcon II, Star Phoenix, Star Cruiser, Star Interceptor, and Star Scout Class Star Fighters, as well as some Sky Hawk fighters too as group-leaders. More on those Star Fighters in later posts.

| Self explanatory picture. |
 |
| Side view. You can see the side Transphasic Mark 2/3 torpedo launchers and Pulsed Transphasic Phaser cannons. |
 |
| Aft view. You can see the hanger, and the lack of rear-facing weapons. |
 |
| Three quarter view. The deflector dish is visible, as is the lack of weapons on the underside, which is nearly completely filled with Transphasic Torpedoes. In the front are x22 Transphasic Mark 2/3 torpedo launchers, which rapid-fire at enemy starships. Really powerful, and really dangerous. |

Star Trek Talmidon / Talmid Show
More on LDD. Not only is it possible to take still pictures of your creations, but also join those pictures together to make....
....an animation! Using the image editing program GIMP to edit the pictures with special effects, and Windows Movie Maker to put everything together and add video effects, I've created three LDD videos following the crew of the USS Talmidon III Refit, captained by Fleet Captain Talmid (me).
Officially, it goes by the name 'Talmid Show', though the introduction video itself dubs it "Star Trek Talmidon", since it is set in a fictional Star Trek universe set in the beginning of the 26th Century.
I've uploaded all three videos on Youtube, and currently I have three videos "Intro, Episode 1, Episode 2" there. Episode 1 and 2 are both 2:30 minutes long, to comply with the upload standards on another website. Episode 1 is in low quality, but Episode 2 is in high. So Episode 2 will give you a more enjoyable experience.
And I don't know how, or why, but in the Intro video, the crew get a suntan. :S

Intro
Episode 1: The Battle that changed Everything
Plot: When the Talmidon crew receive a distress call from the USS Pleh, Talmid orders an investigation, which soon reveals the reason behind the distress call, and the irritating music playing with it: The LEGO Friends
Episode 2: Return of the Friends
Plot: Following the previous incident in which the Talmidon faced off against the pinkerized Excelsior Class the FSS Quadruple P (Friends-Star-Ship Pink Purple Pony Puppy), the Talmidon is put on 'guard duty' at some random old, outdated Fedration Star Base in case the LEGO Friends (now known as the LEGO Fiends Minifakers) attack again. Which of course they do.
At the time that I created the latter two movies, the LEGO Friends theme of playsets introduced by Lego in the winter of 2011 made me feel sick, since once again another theme distracted LEGO Fans from the true sense of Lego: Building. But now I'm actually beginning to like LEGO Friends. Why? Simple, it's so bad it's good.
LEGO Creations
As you have probably realized in my introduction post, I build with Lego, though more specifically, the FREE 3-D Lego Computer Program for Windows and Macs, LEGO Digital Designer, commonly abbreviated as LDD.
Here's some sample pictures of my LDD creations.
These aren't my only LDD creations, I have many others, at least 800. Most are Star Trek Canon and Fanon creations, others are LDD remakes of sets from the discontinued 2007-2008 LEGO Mars Mission line. Then there are more normal stuff, like houses and cars.
Not all my creations are LDD, though. Multiple fan-made Mars Mission creations have been built, and taken apart, by me. Currently my building interest is cars, racing cars, exotics, sport cars, etc.
More on those later!
