A world that time forgot
Captain's log, star date 2225.100 Ship has transitioned from hyperdrive and we are now in visual contact with the target exoplanet. As expected, this planet in the Vega Three Four stellar system is, like our own, largely composed of water. Early spectral analysis confirms much of what our distant-galaxy survey predicted. Planetary crust comprising tectonic land clusters surrounded by contiguous ocean. Atmosphere largely nitrogen with oxygen and other gaseous elements. Organic composition confirms that there is almost certainly life present.

Playing a long way from home
It was a fantastic gig. Their first tour of Ireland: Monroe's Live in Galway. The Irish press were there, the group all in the special stage costumes and best makeup. The audience was amazing, demanding two encores before the house hit the power.

California gleaming
This was, either my first or my second visit to California, I am not entirely sure. As a business press journalist from the UK in the 1990s, I was sometimes invited on lavish trips to computer and electronics manufacturers, software developers and others in the high-tech industries of the day. Realising there was little future for me in this profession, I left it in 1996 to become an entrepreneur. I started an online media agency, one of the first in the UK, and ran that until I moved on in 2001.
