This Lego truck was just a little impulse buy but I had a great time building it tonight. Maybe because it’s from a 3-in-1 pack, it’s full of parts used in creative and unexpected ways. Surprising to the end! Set 31007

A green Lego pickup truck (set 31007). Behind are instruction manuals for building the truck, a helicopter or a robot mech. In front are some unused pieces.

I’m getting back into Lego after a 20 year break. There are so many new bits! But when I see one I recognise from before it feels like meeting an old friend.

Some Lego parts including a rod and a circle with four bumps on top that the author remembers from their childhood

We made our baby an Artfire-themed high chair

My partner and I are on a week-long creative retreat in the north of Sweden. She’s writing and I’m making a game. It’s meant to be relaxing but today I am well stressed! I have a long way to go on this project.

I wonder what group of long-dormant aliens/supernatural beings are being called together this time

Realizing with some discomfort that my $18 transformer is more fun than my $90 transformer

This Stockholm toy store has a tiny, shadowed nook at the back that holds the most forbidden board games

A meter wide nook at the back of a store. One wall has seven shelves of board games from floor to ceiling

This may be the first time a Google product said something to me that i 100% do not understand

A pop-up in Google Sheets reads: New! Data extraction. You can now extract detailed data from chips and use them to enchance the power of your sheets.
