CISPA Blackout
Last month, I posted about CISPA being a bad bill and that it passed in the House of Representatives and is now heading to the senate. That time is now and today we are asking you to call your senators to tell them to vote NO on this privacy destroying bill.
One small amendment to this bill gives employers the right to demand your login details to your social media sites/accounts like Facebook and Twitter, using this information to “know” more about you before they decided to hire you. Not only is this a weak excuse to find out about potential employees, it’s a breach of your privacy.
If the Senate passes this bill, call the White House and tell Mr. Obama he needs to veto it.

CISPA IS NO GOOD

This bill was passed by the House. It is now going to the Senate. Call your senators and tell them to reject this too-far reaching bill.
If the Senate passes this bill, call the White House and tell Mr. Obama he needs to veto it.

LEGO is opening a Utah Location
Utah will be getting it’s first LEGO store
As the screenshot above shows, Utah will have it’s first official LEGO store opening in 2013. The official LEGO store page announced this back on Feb 21st. I wonder how I missed this?
Now to wait for the grand opening date and to plan accordingly.

Hot Wheels Meets Back To The Future
As big of a Back To The Future fan that I am, I found this gem last year and decided to buy two of them. One is still sealed in it’s package. But I wanted to play with one, too.
It wasn’t very much (under $2 for each one) and I thought it was worth it, even at twice the price.
The back of the packaging is very detailed, as most Hot Wheels packages usually are.
Released and in the real world, this is quite the detailed car. There are no moving parts on this, except the wheels, so no doors or hoods open and no smoke comes out of the rear time machine exhausts. But for the price of this collectable toy, I can’t complain.
Adult Collector
For the serious collector, I couldn’t resist the above. It was $25, but this baby is not leaving it’s plastic home.
Still not offering any opening doors or hoods, that doesn’t matter to me. The finer detail in the additional Mr. Fusion, and the nice clear side view that keeps this baby sealed up makes this collector’s item a win for this Marty McFly.
I joined what is called the Hot Wheels Red Line Club, which is a fancy way of saying that I am a 40-something adult that collects small cars, like the ones I used to play with when I was a kid. Only nicer. And unplayable.
The detail in this packaging is perfect for a collector. While I only have a couple other collectors type cars, this is one that I was waiting for. And I did wait… a good 10 months before I got it.
I wish I would have bought two so I could play with one, putting it next to the regular Hot Wheels scale DeLorean.
