The Bravest Knight Who Ever Lived
Hulu opens the closet door and there is no scary monster inside only a sweet story about a brave Knight and the Prince he falls in love with. This short little animated story is heartwarming and entertaining, yet it is not for everyone. I know it will see some backlash just for being made. I…

Problems With Copies of Images Being Automatically Generated in WordPress
I have this problem that I just noticed, but it appears to have been going on for a few years now (you’ll see the screen grabs I have show files back in 2011). And it is happening on most, but not all, of my WordPress sites. Images are being mysteriously copied into a new upload…

Lord of the Sith Pretty Awesome
The book Lords of the Sith is the BEST Star Wars book I have ever read. (Okay it is the first Star Wars book I have ever read, but it makes me wonder why haven’t I read more before.) I can thank the folks over at TheMarySue.com for pointing it and a bunch of other…

I Almost Got Rear Ended Today
O Joy! today just proved to me why I don’t normally arrive to work on time. I usually show up closer to 9:30 than 9:00 and it is because I am either sitting in jammed traffic or about to be killed like today). In my rearview mirror I spotted a car barreling down on me…

Merlin the Most Awesome 70s Handheld Game
As a kid I got a Merlin for Christmas or my birthday one year and I loved that game. I still have my original Merlin sadly one of the LED lights is burnt out. I will probably need to try and fix that at some point. I spent so many hours playing with this game.…

We Got The Beat
One of my favorite 80s bands is out touring this summer. If you can catch The Go-Go’s in a town near you do it (tour is actually half over). Saw them last year and I am just as excited to see them this year! Last year they were with the Psychedelic Furs this year they…

It Is That Time Of Year Again…

Star Trek LEGO-like Sets for Xmas
My normal collecting mania is Star Trek, but lately I have been sticking to just getting LEGO stuff instead. Then of course Hasbro came out with the Kre-o Star Trek line and I had to have it all! Look at all this cool stuff! (Some of which Target has on clearance…I almost wish I had…

LEGO Maniac
I am an admitted brickoholic. This past month has been a whirlwind of LEGO buying and building. Started with the LEGO store’s annual VIP event. Which is an invitation only event that I have been going to for the past 3 years now (guess because I buy so much from them…if only there was a…
