I mistimed my "stuck at home stupid electronics project" for today's blizzard (it is just starting now) but it came out pretty good. Stay warm everyone!

The guys who created Dark Sky and later sold it to Apple are back and have a new weather app out! apps.apple.com/us/app/acme-we...

Visited Bell Works today, one of Bell Labs' former locations where much of modern technology was invented. It also serves as HQ for Lumon in "Severance". It was designed by Eero Saarinen, who also designed the TWA terminal at JFK, the Gateway Arch, and a lot of other cool buildings.

I don't say this sort of thing lightly because it is impossible to know but Jim would have loved this. The Muppet Show is back!

Well, there it is thewaltdisneycompany.com/news...

Kinda bummed about canceling this one but the CSR refresh last year was way too expensive and too complicated to make sense for me 💸

I knew Walt filmed a ton of Disneyland's construction, and now we finally get to see so much of it. Disneyland Handcrafted was great. Also wonderful to hear voices of people I've read about and seen photos of - but never knew what they sounded like! youtu.be/YtrVcOxVDls

Wegmans Status: 🚨 DEFCON 1 🚨

I really don't need an "everything is fine" notification but thanks anyhoo

LOL

Happy new year!

Mini retro #things that actually work is an underrated product category

Tonight's feature presentation

Eddie Sotto seemed like an extraordinarily talented and kind guy. He was always generous with his time in engaging on Twitter and elsewhere and I enjoyed talking about Disneyland Paris with him. Thankful that his work will live on to entertain for generations to come. May his memory be a blessing.

Happy 100th birthday, Dick Van Dyke!

I don't know why these are cool, but they are.

To frame this a little differently, it is still copyright infringement to produce a Mickey Mouse cartoon using Blender or a similar software, but it is not if I do it with Sora. This makes no sense to me. The actual usefulness of AI continues to be distorted by moronic ideas for chasing money.

New treasures added to the collection

Got a nicely timed stop on the WEDway

Nope

Really enjoyed it

I think they plus glimmering greenhouses every year. Looked great tonight.

At this special time of year, let us give thanks to the heroes among us like LASER DAVE.

After successfully "saving" California Adventure from SuperStar Limo, Mike and Sully developed a bit of an ego and fancied themselves Imagineers. They began their rein of terror in Tokyo by destroying Meet the World, and then "one eye" took down all 9 eyes in the Timekeeper a few years later.

Costumes from Muppet Christmas Carol!

TFW you want that sweet parking revenue for the party night but don't want the expense of a full parking cast.

Apple Wallet Digital ID could not have been easier and faster at the security checkpoint at the airport this morning. Very cool.

Got this neato thing from Belkin. It adds a camera grip to your iPhone with a dedicated shutter button to make it easier to stabilize your phone. It also has a battery that can charge your phone via MagSafe or via an included retractable USB-C cable. amzn.to/3Xeb2Vr

Checked in on the American Dream Mall today

During an early test of the Mighty Microscope for the Adventure Thru Inner Space attraction, Walt and his Imagineers were accidentally enlarged into giants.

Costco is Epcot, Vol 1 - parking lot often a nightmare - need a pass to get in - walk around aimlessly, sometimes stopping for snacks from little booths - buy expensive stuff you don't need - infuriatingly slow walkers always seem to find their way in front of me - feet usually hurt after visit

Baseball.

This World Series is a ChatGPT hallucination

Carrot weather doesn't mess around

I try to only post obscure anniversaries, so here’s one: 61 years ago, Oct 26, 1964, a curious episode of The Andy Griffith Show aired. The timing was perfect, and thus an iconic theme park sight gag was born!

In the Carousel of Progress refurb, the Christmas turkey being burned is caused by an AWS outage instead of poor voice commands. www.404media.co/the-aws-outag...

I'm done with Visitor Toll Pass at MCO: https://blog.horizons.one/2025/10/19/im-done-with-visitor-toll.html

This is so cool www.nativeunion.com/products/...

I'm probably the target audience for something like this and am here just to say this is a terrible idea. Be weird and awkward with real people! The privacy implications alone should turn people off from this. It's like dating a spreadsheet. www.newsweek.com/third-americ...

Bring back Kodak disc next! 😂 www.404media.co/kodak-is-sell...

Had a blast seeing Franz Ferdinand at House of Blues last week. Used my AirPods Pro 3 in transparency mode and the sound was AMAZING and I could even have a conversation with my friends. I have pretty good hearing but have a hard time having a conversation in a loud environment sometimes.

Saddened to hear that Jane Goodall has passed. Truly an inspirational woman who has long been a hero. May her memory be a blessing.

The iPhone 17 Pro did very well in the "hot day in a theme park" battery and thermal management test. I charged up around dinner time to give myself a bit of a cushion but probably could have made it without.

Paul Osterhout shared this video at #retromagic of the Muppet performers recording their parts in Muppetvision 3D to aid in the programming of the AA figures. spectra.video/w/fVMjhnw96bG3k...

This sounds incredibly dangerous

#RetroMagic day 2!

It's time for #retromagic!

Well this is so cool www.mousesteps.com/2025/09/25...
