    These single-rail coasters are fun. This will be a good addition to Lost Island.

  • One of my favorite YouTubers, The Tim Traveller just uploaded a pretty funny video featuring the Paris Olympics …. of 1900! You have to check this out if you want a good laugh, so I am sharing.

  • It’s been good to go back through all the original seasons of Futurama. I’m on season five now and got to the Jurassic Bark episode. I almost forgot how sad the episode is at the end. 😭

  • I’m celebrating the new season of Futurama by binge-watching the previous seasons from the beginning. Forgot how much I love this show.

  • My wife and I decided to put season 2 of Star Trek Prodigy on hold. She wanted to rewatch season 1 prior to starting on season 2. I’m not complaining. Season 1 was great. Also, no one tell her I got about 4 episodes into season 2 by myself. 😉

    We just got finished with episode 8 where the crew get split up into different time streams. This one makes my heart break thinking about Rok being alone for such a long time, but it is still awesome to see Rok develop from it.

    Prodigy fascinates me. It’s Star Trek for kids, but I find it just as good if not better than some of the other Star Trek stuff I’ve enjoyed over the years.

  • Sometimes you just gotta vibe to some music to end the night.

  • If you haven’t checked out Star Trek Prodigy on Netflix yet, you need to give it a try. Great story telling. Two seasons. 20 episodes per season! I’m currently working through Season 2.

    I could go for a really good pepperoni pizza right now. This looks so good.

    This is crazy to me that Six Flags and Cedar Fair are now the same company as of today.

  • I removed the case from my iPhone five days ago to deep clean the phone and case. I had every intention of putting the case back on afterwards, but I made a comment to my wife that it’s almost sad that the case eliminates the premium feel of the phone. I played around with it for a few hours outside of the case and enjoyed the feel of the phone so much that I kept the case off.

    I joked the next day that I like to live dangerously. My wife told me that it makes her cringe seeing my phone without a case. Then I watched WWDC and noticed that anytime a presenter had a phone in their hand, it wasn’t in a case either.

    Over the next few days, I started noticing more online evidence of various tech people not putting their iPhone in a case, and I was intrigued. I’ve decided to keep mine out of the case for now because it just feels better to me. I may regret this decision eventually. Today is not that day. 😁
