Minnesotans flock to Como Zoo for their last chance to buy nostalgic animal figurines The St. Paul zoo’s four Mold-A-Rama machines, which make colorful plastic toys in the shape of a gorilla, sea lion, polar bear and lion, will be leaving for good starting sometime in early November.

The end of an era. I have fond memories of getting a few of these when I was a kid.

People Who Bike Are Subsidizing, Not Shirking, Street Costs The recently promoted misconception that cyclists don’t pay their fair share for street infrastructure is both false and misleading.

Debunking the myth that people who bike aren't paying their fair share.

Haven't posted here in a while, but thought I'd drop this little gem from 15+ years ago. It's that time my sketch-comedy group met David Prowse (Darth Vader), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), and Kenny Baker (R2-D2).

May the 4th Be With You!

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Thanks for listening to our concerns. Much appreciated!

Echoing the common sentiment. Poor decision to reward only 1 progress rather than 2. Please reconsider.

Went shopping over the weekend and successfully avoided #target

I composed a piece for my kid’s high school orchestra. I’m hoping they might play it at their next concert. I’ve also been trying to spend at least 30 minutes every day writing music. How about you?

Most of the time, I don’t feel like I have much to say. I do post every day though. I made an account where I assemble 1 page of a LEGO set each day. It’s kinda zen for me. Follow it if you want. @lego-page-a-day

Farewell indeed Monotype. You had a great font management program that I used for years, but you just couldn't resist the cash grab/subscription model, so you discontinued a great product. In so doing, you've lost a customer. #SayNoToSubscriptions

Time to take the Christmas tree down, and once again I return to my annual thought: I wonder how many ornaments get accidentally thrown out with the tree?

YouTube video by Rotten Tomatoes Trailers Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl Trailer #1 (2025)

Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl was a lot of fun! Highly recommended. Even a few cameos from other Aardman shows. And the voice actor replacing the late Peter Sallis was spot on.

Cunk on Earth was a brilliant show, and I was looking forward to the latest in the series, Cunk on Life. While there were definitely some laugh out loud moments, I found it lacking compared to the previous 5 episode series. It felt like the writers were trying too hard.

Kids said the Christmas tree should stay up until next weekend.

Finished the Acclamator, the newest model in the Lego Starship collection. Has some nice pieces, but overall not nearly as interesting as the previous releases.
