Ugh, the Waldo was one of my least favorite kits ever.

I finally got on the Culinary Class Wars train and dang it's a good show. When they do the "and the winner is... [credits]" thing it works. Stopping watching to go to bed is difficult.

Every once in a while I see somebody say something like "there's no algorithm here, liking a post doesn't promote it."
... How is that different? I used Twitter daily for like 15 years and never once saw a post because somebody else liked it but didn't RT it.

I went to a minor league hockey game for the first time yesterday. I was surprised how full the arena was. The home team scored first and won which definitely helped the environment.

Today I finished building the Lego Delorean. Since I was making the hovering version the instructions wanted me to put on the 2015 barcode license plates.
