My favorite villian of all time is the Borg Queen, a character from Star Trek NG. For mysterious reasons unknown to me, kind and giving people person HR soul that I am, I have assumed this nick name with the dev team here at the office, including Pete. Halloween is less than three months away. Halloween + Pete = Pete the Pirate. (Go to previous Rock Start Up episodes to see for yourself.) I’m plotting to outdo Pete the Pirate’s costume, and I think the Borg Queen may need to make an appearance … in the flesh … or … in the fembot queen of the hive do my bidding or die machine flesh. She will kick the sorry Pirate’s a**.
I’ve even started my own assimilation. In 2004 I had a cornea transplant and in 2005 I was one of the first people in the States to get an artificial disc, which added over an inch to my height.
I take this Borg stuff seriously. And someone needs to defeat the Pirate anyway. Time for a mutiny. Bring it.
One day after cornea transplant surgery. The flash reflects on the sutures in my eye.
Just out of the recovery room following 5-1/2 hours of back surgery.
Here I am today.
