Caprica is the latest installment in the Battlestar Galactica series (which originally aired in the late 70s, and which I used to watch as a young boy with my father), and is, in my opinion, one of the best new shows to hit the cable in years. 

I've been a science fiction fan for decades now (scary how fast time flies) growing up with the original Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century shows, and I can honestly say that the new Caprica series is simply awesome.  If you watched the premier episode and weren't too impressed, I say give it another chance.  I too was a bit confused for about the first half of the first show.  I sat there for around an hour wondering what the heck I was getting myself involved in.  Thinking to myself, "this isn't science fiction", but then it started to click.  I began making the connections with the new and the old.  And now, after watching the fifth episode, "There is Another Sky", I am eagerly awaiting next week's episode to see what surprises will be revealed next.

Simply Awesome.

As you can see by the footer, this blog is powered by BlogEngine.NET.  Why BlogEngine.NET and not a free blog host like blogspot.com or wordpress.com?  Well, I'm an application developer so naturally I like to get my hands dirty with code whenever possible. 

BlogEngine.NET is generally highly recommended by those who have used it, and I offer the same recommendation.  I assure you that any engine such as this is not for the uninitiated in programming, but I am quite certain that a web-programmer with experience in any language would be able to implement and customize BlogEngine.NET in a reasonable amount of time.  In fact, I just finished helping my 11-year-old son (he's a beginning programmer & he did most of the work himself) add a blog to his website.

Tip of the week:

If you receive a javascript error indicating that 'BlogEngine' is undefined:

Delete the first "comment" line from blog.js [// global object] and all should be fine.
