Quote found on a trail sign in Ermerald Lake Park (Melbourne, Australia). I can't help but read this as a variant of "kill 'em all and let God sort them out" ... like the Grim Reaper has gone full cowboy!

EDUCATION SHOULD NOT INDEBT YOUR POPULATION.

HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT BE TIED TO HAVING A JOB.

A LIVING WAGE SHOULD SUPPORT A LOCAL LIFESTYLE.

EMPLOYEE WELLBEING IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO COMPANY HEALTH.

SOCIETY IS ONLY AS STRONG AS ITS POOREST, NOT ITS WEALTHIEST.

AMAZING NEWS, TRAVELERS! I just learned Google Maps now lets you add ICONS to your custom lists, which means better visibility and granularity into all your pinned locations! 😍

This is a *huge* boost to usability and organization! Thanks Google!

So this is roughly the length of the Fellowship of the Ring on the Reykjavik ✈️ Seattle flight path.

FUN FACT: while it *looks* like it plays for most of the journey, in reality, it only lasts for ~37% of the flight. This is because the poles are being condensed in this visualization of the globe.

The London LEGO store discontinued their exclusive Lester minifigure and I am devastated... 😭 It was by far the most characteristic gift I could send to friends while I'm in England.

A few shots of winter along the English Channel. It's a dramatic season of muted color and moody, damp drama over and around these parts!

Happy holidays, everyone! 💖

Things be poppin' off in Iceland. This photo taken by the Iceland Coast Guard may be one of the wildest of the night (thus far). 🤯

Also enjoying watching Prof. Shawn Willsey (Geology Underfoot in Southern Idaho) get excited about the earth doing earth things:

Rain, leaves, the occasional trampoline, and... *checks notes* ...rare solar storms. A sample of the many, many (many) totally normal things that can completely disrupt the British rail system.

Some characteristic scenes from Brighton, England ⛅ As well as moody November skies to usher in the cold UK winter.

Finished re-watching 'The Truman Show' again and MY HEART! 😭 This moment always freaking gets me...

What an *absolutely* outstanding film in what I forgot was a GREAT year for oustanding films! (Saving Private Ryan, Life is Beautiful, Shakespeare in Love)

Can you guess today's LEGO build? 💕

Time to put out the call again! 📯 #GoGigantic

Apparently folks are receiving invites from Gearbox Publishing announcing a return of the game 'Gigantic'—the *oustanding* passion project by the amazing team at Motiga and the second game I ever worked on. 💖

I cannot believe it... My heart has not simultaneously ached and raced so fast!

[Finally] started Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order on Saturday.
[Quickly] finished (+100%) after a grand space-wizard journey.

Solid game:
- 14 hours of GREAT character writing & Star Wars story.
- 6 hours where the pacing drags a bit.
- 1 GLORIOUS ending act.
- 8 hours of achievement/collection hell.

Met a super chill dude along the Brighton beachfront who complimented my Sea of Thieves "jumper" ... which took my brain no less than five whole seconds to translate before having to laugh and beg for forgiveness having assumed he was talking on the phone or to someone else... 😂

August 🌍

Would love to have actually explored Oslo, but five (or even only four, having not left the Oslo airport) countries aint bad for one month!

✅ England (Brighton, London, Cambridge)
✅ Denmark (Copenhagen, Billund)
✅ Germany (Frankfurt, Cologne)
✅ Sweden (Malmo)
〰️ Norway (Oslo)
