6903-1: Bug Blaster, 1998. This small flying wedge doesn’t have anything very-insecty about it apart from the single forward-facing compound eye thingy. Includes an alien carrying a crystal with a magnetic sticker (but no magnet).
Month: August 2019
6837: Cosmic Creeper
6837-1: Cosmic Creeper, 1998. Ant-like ground vehicle driven by an Insectoid alien features large compound eyes and magnetic mandibles. The entire front (head) swings up for some reason that I couldn’t fathom.
In The Labyrinth
About a month ago I started playing a tabletop fantasy RPG with my son. It’s been close to 20 years since I played, and I’m super stoked to be able to share this with him.
August in Switzerland
Ah, August in Switzerland: about to put the hood up on my hoodie because I’m cold inside my apartment!
6817: Beta Buzzer
6817-1: Beta Buzzer, 1998. Small winged flyer piloted by an Insectoid alien.
Vibrant pasture
I like the bright green reflection of the pasture in this photo.
Lake Ägeri paddle
It’s also been too long, but today we finally went out on the stand up paddle. Being out on the lake in beautiful weather is my happy place.
Hochwacht hike
It’s been far too long, but today I did a nice hike up to Hochwacht overlooking both Zug and Ägeri lakes: 8.2km, 2h15m, 300m ascent, 20°C.
2965: Hornet Scout
2965-1: Hornet Scout, 1998. Legged ground vehicle and small winged flyer that connect rear-to-rear like a pair of lovebugs mating. Piloted by an Insectoid alien and a droid.
TouchID > FaceID
I got the broken phone replaced under warranty yesterday after spending a week each using an SE and 8 as replacements. While I missed the Max’s larger screen and better cameras, I think I prefer TouchID and the old control center gestures that went with it to FaceID.
