I recently encountered a rather interesting story. It is called “By the Waters of Babylon.” It deals with some slightly sinister themes, and thus I thought it appropriate for the month of Halloween. As it is also a Friday, and since you therefore have more time, I thought it also appropriate due to its relatively longer length than some things previously shared.
Happy reading.

Hello!
So, I’m fairly sure some of you are aware of Guardians of the Galaxy.
Well, I’m happy to be able to say that the new trailer for Guardians 2 is now out! And the best part? They have a small scene in the trailer with Grootlet!
I mean, he’s wearing a mini-Star Lord Jacket. How adorable is that?!
Anyway. Enjoy!

I admit to being quite surprised that I am posting this before the Webmaster. However, I will not complain.
Recently, I found a video of an utterly charming home-made child’s Star Wars costume. The parents made a costume so their young child could be a tauntaun rider from Star Wars.
I am highly impressed by how the costume turned out; that takes a great deal of skill.
Have a lovely Wednesday.

Hello!
So, remember a couple days ago when I mentioned that there’s a kickstarter’d game about “pretending to grownup“?
Well, there’s now a YouTube video demonstrating some basic game play! It looks like it’s going to be a totally ridiculous, completely fantastic time.
And there’s still time left to support it. So, check out the video!
And have a lovely day.

Hi!
So, I was recently shown an online gallery with gorgeous portraits of animated Disney Characters.
The artist seriously does a spectacular job. Especially with children, from my perspective. So, Lilo (and Stitch), and Elsa & Anna are my two particular favorites. Belle is also pretty excellent. (If you look closely, there’s a subtle Beast in the background.) And actually, so’s Mulan. (It hadn’t really registered how young Mulan probably was (given cultures of the time) until seeing her portraiture interpretation. But I keep coming back to Elsa & Anna. Probably because the artist captures Anna’s childlike wonder and Elsa’s older-sisterness so freakin’ perfectly. GAH!
So, yeah. Enjoy!
And happy Monday!

I encountered a rather fun article yesterday concerning responding to kids. The author suggested using game theoretic ideas to respond to children’s protestations of unfairness.
I thought it was a well thought out article and worth a read.
Have a lovely Sunday.

Hiya, readers!
I recently found a thing that I’m really amused by. It’s a card game. Aimed at millennials. It’s on Kickstarter.
It’s called “Pretending to Grownup“. (Yes, “Grownup” has been verbed. It’s a thing.)
I found the concept quite fun, and the art super endearing. And besides, what other cardgames offer a “unipegasaurus”, the cross between a unicorn, a pegasus, and a dinosaur?
I’m very much looking forward to it being actually available…
Anyway. Have a lovely Saturday!

As you are probably aware at this point, a new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer was released. It is, naturally, a fairly decent piece of cinematography (from what I can tell.)
However, it does have what may be extensive spoilers.
One thing I found interesting was how much the trailer music sounded like something I would expect from Two Steps from Hell, rather than typical Star Wars trailer music.
I am also surprised about how much family background we are given about the main character.
However, the poster does look rather fantastic.
The movie does seem to have potential.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hi!
So, I’ve recently been noticing a silly little mind-trick I play on myself, and I’m now sharing it.
Background. I have a water-filter-pitcher-thingie. (Camelbak, in case you were curious.) (I especially have it for water for making coffee, but that’s mostly beside the point at the moment.)
This water pitcher filters water fairly quickly. It also has a limit on how much it’s supposed to hold. So, on the back of the pitcher, there are two lines. The top line is about where the cap is supposed to be. The bottom line (about a 1/2 inch below the top) is where you’re supposed to turn the sink off if you’re filling it up from the sink. (It’s a nice, fast filter system with a reservoir in the lid or something like that.)
Recently, for various reasons, I’ve been using a large measuring cup thingy to fill the pitcher. (Alright, it’s because I’m often filling the pitcher at around the same time I’ve got dishes soaking in the sink. What can I say? Timings overlap!) With that said, though, it makes it a bit harder to turn off the sink at the right time. I mean, I still need to stop pouring, which is close to the same thing, but it is slightly different. And here’s how.
I can go really fast with the measuring cup. (Faster than the sink, in fact.)
And this is where the mind-game silliness comes in.
So, you’re supposed to stop the water-flow when the waterline gets up to the lowest bar, right? And that’s fine for the pitcher? Well, I’ve started kinda really speeding up the water-flow when I’m almost to the bottom line. Because as long as I stop by the time I gt there, it won’t overfill, right? Even if I’m technically putting in twice as much water. I stopped at the line, after all!
So, yeah. Fortunately I haven’t broken my pitcher, but I’ve definitely (slightly) overfilled it from this reason…
Mind games. They’re trippy.
Anyway. Have a lovely Thursday!

I was recently informed that Toyota created a small “companion robot”. The footage is rather adorable.
One thing I found quite fascinating, however, is the different emphases given in different videos.
The one above, for instance, has an implied emphasis on “driving”, and thus has a bit of a commute and travel companion emphasis. A different one, however, has a stronger emphasis on the general companionship the robot can provide.
I found the differences interesting.
Enjoy, and have a lovely day!
