The first teaser trailer for “Star Wars IX: Rise of Skywalker” has been released! We can’t really glean too much from the trailer, but we do see Leia, confirming that she is in the film, and see that Lando is in the film as well. The very end, though, has...
I know its all over the science news, but I thought I’d post about it too. Here is the first true image of a distant black hole, teased out of a world-spanning network of telescopes called the Event Horizon Telescope. You can read more about it on this article at...
We’ve all had it happen — your computer starts to slow down, glitches more and more, freezes or locks up unexpectedly, or just seems take forever to load. Opening it up, you may see the inside covered in dust and grime. Well, there’s your problem! It’s important to clean your...
I am a long-time fan of “Battle Angel Alita,” going back all the way to when Viz released the translation of the Gunnm graphic novels, written by Japanese manga-master Yukito Kishiro, back in the 1990s. Viz renamed the main character from Gally to Alita (which, admittedly, does sound cooler), changed...

If you’re a frequent visitor to my blog and website, you’ll now notice that it’s under a new domain, and has a fresher, more modern look. Rest assured, this is still the same site and blog as Meta-Earth.com, but I’ve decided to transfer my site to a domain bearing my...
The new trailer for the upcoming Transformers movie “Bumblebee” is out, and I’m stoked! This is a big departure from the Michael Bay’s movies, where he completely re-designed the Autobots and Decepticons to be “more modern”. I’m a Transformers classicist, meaning I’m a huge fan of G1 transformers from the...
