Last month, Christine and I went to Disneyland. And more specifically, we went to the new Galaxy’s Edge section (“Star Wars Land”). You get to spend time immersed in Batuu, in a way that’s unlike any of the other Trivial Pursuit wedge lands of the park. Cast Members are in character. All of the signs … Continue reading Laser-Cutting Cantina Coasters

Remaking the Disneyland Toy Story Jail
Along Disneyland’s Main Street (yes, yet another reference to the recent Disney trip with @ChristineRose) are little window displays. Each references some film, whether recent or past. (Marketing!)

There wasn’t much … Continue reading Remaking the Disneyland Toy Story Jail
A Disney sabbatical
I am over half-way through my two month sabbatical. I am extremely fortunate that I work somewhere that the founders, 10 years ago, first came up with what seemed like a ludicrous sabbatical policy (6 weeks of time off after 5 years of employment), and second, founded a tech company that’s still a great place to … Continue reading A Disney sabbatical

These are they… ✻ ✼ ✻ Before I can start in on my first dream, I have to describe a particular pillow I own. It is very unique … Continue reading In which I move an object in to and out of dreams
Belated Updates 2: California
The California trip last month was fun. I think I mentioned it before, but it was “Christmas in February.” My parents flew us down there because we had neither the time nor money in December for travel, having just bought a house and all. It was great to see everyone we did see (but would … Continue reading Belated Updates 2: California
