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.

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.

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.

Late as I am to all things cool, I started watching The Sandman series on Netflix. Enjoyed the first two episodes, I think 11 have posted so far. Plan to keep watching. Not sure where my copy of Preludes and Nocturnes has gone. Need to find it.

That thing where the older I get, the more I realize what a pain in the ass I was for my parents. Dad’s gone. Can’t apologize.
