New Feature ...

Here is a new blogger feature, posting blog posts from an e-mail system. How it works is that I type an e-mail and send it to a specific address and the message posts automatically. I can't add photos but this is a quick way to send text messages. And I can even use my phone to send a text message to this address. Oh the new possibilities or my ramblings.

So speaking of ramblings, I have been spending some time checking out other Blogs. I have put up a number of new links this past week. There are links for running sites, links for Blogs of Note and a new set of links for the Serenity Movie.

The Serenity movie will be coming to theaters next year. I cannot wait. Serenity was created by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel).

The story is set 500 years in the future where space travel is as common as car travel is today. There are multiple planets that can support human life and settlers are dropped on planets with basic supplies to terraform the planet. The concept is that of a space western. The mixing of high technology and rustic living is intermixed throughout the show. Serenity the movie comes about after Joss's show Firefly was canceled and fans bought so many DVD box sets that there was enough interest to turn the show into a feature film. It is really very amazing that Whedon could turn a failed movie to a hit TV show and now he's trying to turn a failed TV show into a hit movie. The man is a genius of storytelling.

You may notice that there is now a banner on the bottom of the page that says "Serenity Official Browncoat". A browncoat is someone who fought for the Resistance against the Alliance. Malcolm Reynolds, the captain of Serenity was a Sergeant in the Civil war and the Alliance won at the Battle of Serenity. So that is what Mal named his ship. If you want to know more about Serenity/Firefly the movie and the TV show please check out the links or the banner at the bottom of the screen. The movie is going to be awesome and the shows were great. If you are interested in borrowing my DVD's to see for yourself what I'm talking about, I promise you won't be disappointed. Even better, buy your own set and become an official browncoat too.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
