Before the movies, there was the Tomb Raider video game (1996). This athlete, Nell Anderson, was hired by Eidos to be filmed as a reference model for archery, running, tumbling, climbing, so developers could better match movements to real life. Game debuted and she also did promo tour. Me (right).

Now that I think about it, I do remember that episode.

What a weekend! Friday was Juneteenth, Saturday was Solstice and my 39th Anniversary, and here’s my Daughter and I FaceTiming on Father’s Day.

Breakfast at the Village Pie Shop in Carlsbad this morning on our 39th Anniversary.

CDC chart on the weekly excess deaths from all causes during the pandemic in the US. The orange line is the average expected deaths and the red line is the upper bound, meaning anything above that is statistically significant. In some weeks, the pandemic resulted in 20,000 more deaths than usual.

Was there about 20 years ago. There was a Star Trek convention at the Fairmont earlier that day, and the place was absolutely filled with cosplayers, mostly wearing original series costumes. It looked like the episode "The Apple."

Thanks for this post. Now I'm going to have to hike there to see it! Will be fun. As a side note, before the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland actually had balancing rocks.

The very next post in my timeline was from Mara. More than coincidence?

If I were to write something, it would be that I gave my wife a 512k Mac as a wedding present in 1987, or I'd write about the time I briefly met Steve Jobs bsky.app/profile/tays... But instead, to celebrate Apple's 50th, I flew to Silicon Valley so I could read 600 pages about Apple's 50th.

I like to fool myself into believing she has her own hotel.

Here's Chance the Dog post eye surgery sleeping off the sedative while Kathleen looks on from behind the cone-of-shame. Surgery successfully performed by Dr. Tsai at Eye Care for Animals in San Diego August 2024. Chance had a bad abrasion on his cornea. All is well now.

My daughter's 9th grade class in Carlsbad, CA took a field trip to DC. During a tour of the Pentagon, she and another girl snuck away and took each other's picture at the Pentagon Briefing Room.
