I’ve used Gmail now for some time, and love it. I love the interface, love the simplicity, love pretty much everything about it. My personality is, however, to try new things. I like change… especially if it means being on the “cutting edge.” It’s how I ended up using Gmail in the first place. So, because of that personality, I’ve tried, over the past few years, as many different email [...]
A few months back I put out the call to see if anyone was interested in commissioning a piece of Star Wars scrimshaw. I had a piece of mastodon ivory that I had kept for over a decade with the express purpose of doing something “special” on it one day. The call was answered by none other than Steve Sansweet; owner of the world’s largest Star Wars collection and, until [...]
I’ve thought about buying the 8mm Vintage Camera app for the iPhone for a good few weeks now and finally did today. Within two minutes of owning it I was in love! I can see this being a very bad thing as my older self will more than likely be mad at my younger, “present day”self because all our videos will end up being shot with this. haha Seriously though, [...]

(And yes, you can have a favorite bartender without being a “drinker”) It was done with colored pencil and framed in a “shadow frame” on [...]
Our friends Tye and Jenna gave Scottlyn a lightsaber yesterday. This morning when she woke up she was saying something I didn’t know. I put her down and said, “Show me,” and she took me directly to the lightsaber. She wasn’t saying something, she was making lightsaber noises! :D
Scottlyn is like me in that she’s entertained by the simple things in life. Stuffed rabbit… cardboard tube… hours of fun! Or at least 20 minutes.
We decided to take the morning and go have breakfast at Flying Star then head out to the Albuquerque Aquarium. Scottlyn absolutely loved it! This one is definately going in with the “great memories!”
Scottlyn has known about stormtroopers since she was very, very little. She just found out about Darth Vader a few months ago while looking through a “Return of the Jedi” picture book. She saw him and pointed to him and I said, “That’s Darth Vader… he sounds like this…” then proceeded to do the breathing. Later while we were watching clips from Star Wars: A New Hope — which I [...]
