We recently attended Lego Fest.
Although the Lego people will tell you that the official name is Lego Kids Fest, everyone calls it Lego Fest.
(If all this sounds familiar, then you might be thinking of what I posted about our trip to Lego Fest back in 2012.)
We started out with the art this time. The art section gives you white square plates and a bunch of single-stud pieces to create your artwork. Then it all gets hung on some walls.
Gamma chose to follow one of their templates:

I was playing hide and seek with Gamma the other day. I was quite amused at the result, but he was so earnest in trying to hide.
I’ll let you try to find him.

There have been plenty of parodies and covers of “Let It Go” from Frozen. The fad has, for the most part, died down, which means it’s time for me to do something before it’s completely off the radar.
Hence, today’s post.
Now this isn’t a full cover of the song. In fact, it’s barely even an outline.
It was to be the Software Programmer’s Version of “Let It Go”.
Transcript:
The screen glows white in the basement tonight

Let it <something software related>

The code never bothered me anyway.
What happened was I thought of the tagline first (switching code in for cold). Then I tried to think of changes to the rest of the song to fit with the theme.
I got the first line and was happy with that, but then I was stumped with the rest of it. So, rather than foist a complete but sub-par product upon you, I decided to post an incomplete but par product.
She said to them, “Go to the hill country, so that the pursuers will not happen upon you, and hide yourselves there for three days until the pursuers return. Then afterward you may go on your way.”

It’s June, the start of the summer quarter. Time for me to update the theme on this blog. This one is a theme I put together a few years ago. Slight updates, but pretty close to what I had back then.
Enjoy!
Whose confidence is fragile, And whose trust a spider’s web.
Job 8:14

Car companies have given various names and labels to the parts of the car. Unfortunately, while those names may reflect the intended use of the part, they don’t necessarily reflect the real-world function.
Here is a handy guide that re-labels the items in a car with what they actually mean:
- Activate the high-beam switch in order to summon oncoming traffic
- Step on the gas pedal in order to induce the car in front of you to brake
- Step on the brake pedal in order to engage the tail-gating abilities of the car behind you
- Activate the turn signal in order to eliminate any spaces between cars near you
Bonus Item
- Turn off the wipers in order to cause the car passing you to hit a puddle
Any other things in your car that need disclaimers for their side effects?
And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring what these things could be.
Luke 15:26

Our central air wasn’t working, so I had to fix it.
The furnace and thermostat were working fine, because warm air was blowing throughout the house. After a couple of minutes and it still wasn’t blowing cold air, I started looking around.
First step, walk outside and see if the fan was running.
It was not.
Second step, look up “central air outside fan not working” on the internet. Also, “how to check air conditioner” and “troubleshoot central air”.

I don’t golf, but if I did, I’d get this golf equipment:
His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.

This is Beta, the second-born, when he was about 2YO.
