On Saturday, September 15th, the Mesa Historical Museum, at 2345 N. Horne St, will be hosting a Meet Wallace event to herald the opening of their new exhibit, “Thanks for Tuning In: The Wallace and Ladmo Show”. Admission is only $5 for adults, $4 Seniors, $3 for kids 12 and under, and children under the age of 3 are free.
This fan site has all the information you need about this event, as well as interesting factoids about the longest-running same-cast kids’ show in television history. They even have rare photos to peruse, and I know I’ve spent a lot of enjoyable time there, reminiscing about the show. There’s also an interesting article about the true age of Pat McMahon, and it confirms exactly what I’ve thought all along.
So mark your calender for this event, and take your family out to enjoy a day with Wall-boy and friends.
Cancel the Yard Sale, I found Listasaurus.com!

I really enjoy accumulating acquiring unique junk collectibles but I have to face that fact that it is possible to have too much of a good thing. I’ve come to the realization that it’s time to sell off some of my “discoveries”, but when its 103° in the Phoenix area, it is just too hot to have a yard sale.
I found a site that allows its visitors to buy and sell using video classifieds . At Listasaurus, buyers don’t have to worry about the condition of their intended purchase because you can see a video of the item before you buy it. Sellers don’t have to spend hours writing a perfect description, they just need to grab their video camera and start taping. You can make a bit of extra money too because their site also says that they’ll pay you just for listing ads of items for sale.
I think the entire concept is a great idea. Not only can I sell what I don’t want, I can use their search to find more stuff quickly and easily. They even have a section for free stuff, and I just saw the cutest toy koala bear that someone is giving away. But before I start picking out new stuff, I have to decide what I’m going to sell first. By doing video classifieds, I don’t think I’ll have to wait long before I can get rid of some of my old stuff so I can make room for the great finds I’m seeing on Listasaurus.com.
Sometimes, I am too funny for my own good

Yesterday, I was sitting on my bed using the laptop, trying to learn my way around Linux. I couldn’t figure out how to get the Euro symbol to display, so I asked my daughter on IM. (Yeah, she’s in the other room, but we’re IM’ing. Does that make us a web 2.0 family?)
She replied, “Its on the keyboard, but it only works under Windows”.
To which I said, “I am under a window, but the curtain’s closed on it right now, does it matter?”
After that, she ignored me for ten minutes.
