Just back from the Consumer Electronics Show with a scoop of sorts. I met Brent Spiner, otherwise known as Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He was a featured guest at the blogger party It Won't Stay in Vegas. I only chatted with him long enough to ask him if he had been "data captured" for motion-capture parts in movies, and he revealed that he would soon be scanned for a possible part in the Disney remake of Yellow Submarine. Brent was gracious and good-humored despite the crush of admirers. (I was able to snap this photo of Brent to give you an idea of the crowd.)
