Disappointed myself tonight. Needed to meet a client at work, after I had already been home, because of an action I forgot to take during the work day. Mission accomplished, in the end. But I have done better, and without needing to come in after hours.

Dear Vendor,

When you leave me a message saying I’m eligible for a discount, but you have not simply applied the discount, I know you want me on the phone where you can upsell me to spend more.

Not today. Thank you for calling.

Respectfully,

Hjalmer

First time visit to Bauer Brothers Salvage today was purposeful, to get a piece we had seen online. Let me just say, for old house people, it’s a wonderland. Lots to love!

Took a drive tonight to see if we could catch a glimpse. Ended up in Harris, MN. #auroraborealis #mnwx

I have an intern at work who quizzed me about my first console. I told him it was something he hadn’t heard of: Intellivision. He said he played Xbox360 in preschool.

So I’m just gonna lay down and let the rest of me turn to dust.

Auditing contacts for the first time since… contacts triplicating synchronizing to a portable device (Remembering Palm OS and Windows Mobile) Some shrugs, some I-wish-you-wells, some I-miss-yous, and some I-love-you-old-friends. But many fewer contacts tonight in my address book.

Am I the only one who forgets they have a Gravatar?

Brickset does the thing I’m a little surprised and disappointed LEGO itself doesn’t seem to do, which is build an inventory of your kits. You can build a list of manuals with the official Instructions app, which is de-facto your collection, except where your kit isn’t listed.

I have built three Lego kits in the last few weeks. I’ve learned there is a larger Lego community online. Here we go.
