An Idiot Abroad

In the mood for some good British comedy? Doesn't get better than "An Idiot Abroad". I binge watched Seasons 2&3 last weekend on Netflix.

3D Printing

I find the technology of 3D printing fascinating. 3D printers can now make body parts and are being used to correct gene mutations. And, it turns out, to make replicas of World of Warcraft characters. So, I joined the ranks of the super nerdy and had a 3D Figureprints replica made of one of my 4 characters, a druid troll named "Drpongo".

Below: my WoW character "Drpongo" as he appears in-game & Figureprints Drpongo replica:

Pandamania

As the curator of a different area, I often find myself wondering why more of the giant panda excitement doesn't spill over into other areas.
