I’ve added some new sightings to the sightings page, including this little hunk of awesome.

On an unrelated note, I might mention that if you enjoyed the interview that I linked to yesterday, you could consider following the interviewer, Nathan Gibson on Twitter. His twitter name is “DABRB”

I did a fairly lengthy interview recently. It can be read at the “Do a Barrel Roll” blog.

I have a few new “Sightings” that are going to be posted really soon.

If you ordered a custom avatar and sent me your picture (longer ago than the last 72 hours) and have not yet recieved your avatar, please drop me a line at basicinst@gmail.com.

I gave blood today. I think I disturbed the phlebotomist when I refered to the end result as a “Warm bag full of me.”

There it is, my Father’s Day gift to the world. The mental image of Mr. T making “sweet, sweet love” to Edward Woodward. I’ll leave it to you to decide for yourselves which one is “Daddy.”

While I’m in a good mood (and I am in a very good mood, for reasons I cannot talk about … yet.) I want to share with you two things I’m really enjoying.

Item I’m really enjoying #1: My Lego Watch
My wife has worn a Lego watch for something like eight years, long enough to go through four batteries. She loves the thing, and I always liked it, but never got one of my own for two reasons. It was way too small to look good on my big monkey arm, and I didn’t want the bright Lego colors. Then I saw this model and decided to take a chance. Man am I glad I did! The “Mid Size” is perfect for a full-grown man, it’s dead dependable, and call me crazy, but it looks to me like the kind of watch a Japanese consumer might buy from Muji (for a lot more than $25 American).

Item I’m really enjoying #2: Phineas and Ferb.
It’s a cartoon on Disney XD, and while it is aimed at kids, it works on an adult level better than the vast majority of shows for grown-ups. I’d go so far as to say that Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz may be my new role model. (He has replaced The Monarch from the Venture Brothers.) Click here and I think you may see why. Note: you can stop watching when you see the teenaged girl dialing the phone.

Enjoy.
