Again, I got up at some ungodly hour of the morning where we all proceeded
to Perkins
for breakfast, followed by a trip to the Lego
Store.
Unfortunately, I did not get any shots inside the store, as I
was too busy drooling over all the sets for sale (I was particularly
drooling over the Emerald
Night Train set), and marvelling at a camera/video display they had set
up. You could hold up a box of a kit to the camera, and on the video
display, you could see yourself holding up the box, but the system would
then add a 3D rendering of the kit on the box you were holding. And as you
rotated the box around, the the 3D rendering would rotate with the box (and
a few kits were even animated, like the Emerald Night Train).
Wow.
A few hours there, then we all started the drive back from Orlando.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
