The marquee HTML element may be deprecated, but it still works, and when you combine it with emojis, and a little CSS, you can create a whole new world. Sure, you can use CSS animations, or JavaScript, to do a lot better animations, but there’s something fun about old school code that still works. The […]

We Survived ValleyScare
I’m a big fan of Valleyfair, but not a big fan of going when it’s haunted. In the past, I never even thought about going to ValleyScare at night when all the ghosts and ghouls were out, but this year, we did it! Turns out, ValleyScare is a lot of fun. The biggest thing to […]
Can Can Wonderland – Arcade & Mini Golf
Last weekend, we had a great time at Can Can Wonderland! Can Can Wonderland is a arcade packed with a wide array of pinball machines and classic arcade games. From iconic titles like PacMan and Rampage to skee-ball and Dance Dance Revolution. Some games are ones you know and love, others are unknown and unique, […]
Ai Image Generation and Social Network – NightCafe
Lately, I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with AI image generators. Simply input your desired image, and voilà! In just a matter of seconds, Ai creates an image. Whether it’s a specific theme, a particular style, or anything you can imagine, the possibilities are virtually limitless. Here are some images I created with […]
Went to the mall to feed a Capybara.
This past weekend, we meet some wild animals at Sustainable Safari in Maplewood Mall. Lily had the opportunity to interact with her latest animal obsession, the Capybara. Capybaras are pretty cute when they’re small, and kinda cute, in a weird way, when they grow up, too. Sustainable Safari had all sorts of animals including goats, […]

I’ve decided to start writing inspirational quotes on our driveway for the neighborhood to enjoy. This is the first.
I built the 1988 LEGO 6395 Victory Lap Raceway!
In 1988, I received a Lego 6395 Victory Lap Raceway! Well, I think that’s when I got it, I was like 9 so I don’t remember, but that’s when it came out. Fast forward a few (ok a lot) of years, and I put it back together! This is a pretty sweet Lego set that […]
My wife ordered a weird 2020 calendar.
When my wife ordered a 2020 calendar, she picked one with a cute cupcake on it. Turns out, every month is a new and “interesting” graphic. This wasn’t what she was expecting, but we’ve had some fun conversations. They have a 2021 calendar if you want to get your own or they have a lot […]
We built a treehouse!
During the summer of COVID my family and I had time to build a tree house. I’m not the most talented in the area of building things, but, with a little bit of help, we were able to accomplish it! A huge thanks goes out to my neighbors who let me borrow tools, helped haul […]
Photo a Day Challenge
On January 1st I started a photo a day challenge and you can see my photos over at stormwp.wordpress.com. I’m not following any sort of list or recommendations but rather just taking a photo a day. Turns out that taking a photo a day is both easy and hard. Some days I see lots of […]
