The White House Correspondants dinner hosted by Conan O’Brien.

He killed it.

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.

Find Your Senators

If the Senate passes this bill, call the White House and tell Mr. Obama he needs to veto it.

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.

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.

Of note, this was one of the best:

Jack is 53 years her older. Or JLaw is 53 years his younger.

Please don’t date each other. This was cute and fun. Seeing these two together will not be.

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.

Announced on his 66th birthday, The Thin White Duke is back with new music. Check out the very mellow new song [and somewhat odd video] above.

The new album “The Next Day” is available on March 12th. Click here to pre-order on iTunes.

Don’t Get Lost This Christmas

May Santa find your house this year.

It’s true. Sometime in 2013, there will be an official LEGO Back To The Future set. Complete with Marty and Doc minifigures and a Delorean.

I can’t wait.
