National Treasure Discovered ...

Yesterday I saw the Nick Cage movie National Treasure. After reading the Da Vinci Code and all the Dan Brown books I could see parallels between the stories. However I don’t see that one ripped off the other. National Treasure is a scavenger hunt through American History. I was pretty fascinated about the clues and riddles and the places in the movie. If anything it got me excited to know more about these secret societies and the potential for more movies and books in this same vein. If you get a chance check out this movie.

And an update on the book reading front, I have finished reading many of the Clive Cussler books featuring Dirk Pitt. So far I have finished:
  • Pacific Vortex! (1983)
  • The Mediterranean Caper (1973) APA Mayday!
  • Iceberg (1975)
  • Raise the Titanic! (1976)
  • Vixen 03 (1978)
  • Night Probe! (1981)
I am currently listening to Deep Six (1984) on CD. Got it from the library. Awaiting the next book on CD Cyclops (1986). Unfortunately the reader sounds like he is doing a newscast. Not the best book on tape performer ever.

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...

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.
