Why , brain, why are you making me hum the super Mario game music in my head for the last hour?
edit: This is a Mario I wouldn’t mind keeping around…

Wildly inappropriate children books
I’m annoyed that I missed it :(
For most of July, a contingent from Canada’s fabled Royal 22nd Regiment, about 70 guardsmen, is standing on guard for the Queen.
It’s the first time the francophone regiment has stood guard at Buckingham Palace since 1940, when it was done at the request of King George VI, father of Queen Elizabeth. That also marked the first time the King’s Guard Sentinels got commands not only from a non-British unit but also in French. The changing of the guard ceremony, which is a must-see for tourists besides being a famous military ritual, consists of the old guard handing over responsibility for Buckingham Palace’s safety to the new guard. The responsibility is given to active infantry regiments who have shown discipline and precision in their movements.
Must do this!!
Katy and I were walking in Morges yesterday when we came across this.
It rocks.
I must do this. All I need is some hardboard, a hot glue gun and a shitload of rubber ducks.
Ebay, here I come!!

Walking in a minefield
Walking in Bean’s room at night is worse than a minefield, with a happy mix of lego, cars and toys-that-make-noise (I’m looking at you, Neep!)
Oldie-friendly tech
Finally, a laptop that neither Bean or Katy’s parents (or my parents, for that matter) can break!
Turns out it went ok
After a few minutes of tears, the bean settled down and had a good day :-)
