A LEGO Surprise, Part 2
What’s hiding in this Mac IIsi NuBus Adapter Card box?
I found this box on a shelf, opened it up, and found more LEGO!
There are a lot of bricks crammed into this small box.
A couple more minifigures to add to the collection…
Time to start building!
The Inaccessible Accessibility Path
I don’t know about you, but this accessibility path looks kinda inaccessible to me. At least there is a path, but it is a little narrow, winds around, and further along, is a little overgrown by the grass.
The First Word in the Mac’s Dictionary App?
What’s the “first” word defined in the Mac’s built-in Dictionary app? Hit the spacebar in the search field to find out. I accidentally brushed the space bar and was given this Easter egg.
A LEGO Surprise, Part 1
Look what the mailman brought! In a little nondescript brown package, these fun items were revealed.
I only managed to find these three available from a vendor on Amazon.com, but they’re pretty cool. It looks like the vendor felt each package and then labeled them. The gymnast’s bag was actually cut open and taped closed. No matter though since the minifigures were intact and as promised.
Hopefully, this doesn’t end my Olympics LEGO search with possibly a few more packs coming in. 🙂
The Dirty Cheeto
Although sounding like something out of Urban Dictionary, the dirty cheeto is actually this.
This loner was pulled straight out of a freshly opened bag of Cheetos. The rest of the bag was fine, just this one oddity. Would you have eaten it? How about this?
Kailua Get One Subaru BRZ
At least that’s what I think is this car. Although I couldn’t get a clean picture, I think the rear said BRZ, so I’m sticking with my assertion that Kailua get one Subaru BRZ.
The Return of the Moose Knuckle
The All Stars of Dancing with the Stars take the dance floor on September 24. One of the returning stars is none other than Gilles “Moose Knuckle” Marini who is dancing with recent DWTS Champion, Peta Murgatroyd.
An interesting pairing that you got to watch…
An Easy Going Monday, Fo Shizzle
An easy going Monday is in order after a long week and weekend, fo shizzle.
Reading about Martian and Bogon Routes
It’s been some time since I’ve dipped into the network design realm. Reading about Martian and Bogon routes. Didn’t realize these address spaces had cool names now.
I Got (Half)Tone, I Got (Half)Tone
Sorry for the Top Gun reference, but I couldn’t resist when I saw the Starbucks Pick of the Week app, Halftone. Halftone has nothing to do with Top Gun, but this app lets you create comic-like panels from your pictures. Think Instagram meets Comic Life.
Anyways, head on over to a well stocked Starbucks to pick up this freebie. I’ve only seen this app at one of three Starbucks I visited this week so your luck may vary. Here’s a quick sample of a Halftone created comic panel.
“I Approve This Message” 2012
I approved this message back in 2006, but since it’s been six years, I feel compelled to reiterate my approval. So here goes.
And although I’m not running for any political position, you have to smile when you see this.
