My Lego Collection/Mess

Looks great, but beware of heat and water damage (that looks like an attic to me).

Son - Graduates next month. Me - One more year (I'm in the MCDM program, which is spectacular, BTW). Daughter - Sophomore.

Sorry to hear that you need to get another job. That can't be easy.

This is stunning, and quite painful.

I'm currently paying three UW tuition bills - one part time (me) and two full-time (one son, one daughter). The quarter-to-quarter increases come as a shock even though I prepare and budget for them.

Last year I think they said that raising tuition would let them provide additional help to lower income students. Sometimes I think I'm footing the entire bill for some random student. Whoever you are, I hope that you are enjoying the benefits of my hard work!

The Lego store in Bellevue, WA told me that they had already sold out their entire stock of 100 R2-D2's.

Mine also says "In process." I ordered it on Monday.

I love this set (it is sitting on my desk as I type), but be warned that it is very fragile, especially around the roof line. In order to get the shape right, some of the brick-to-brick connections use just one or two studs.

Display, don't play, if you don't want it to fall apart.

Looks cool, but you can already get a far more detailed Lego Delorean from Ichiban Toys. In fact they have four different versions and a lot of other interesting stuff.

The card is free, but it might "cost" you thousands if you buy more Lego as a result.

I bought 4 very full cups today (don't tell my wife) from the Lego store in Bellevue Square Mall in Washington state. I wasn't the only adult packing in the parts as tightly as I could.

The checkout clerk told me that this was the first time they'd run the promotion, and encouraged me to respond to the survey on my receipt if I wanted it to happen again. She put a sticker on my cup and told me that I would get a $0.50 discount (per cup) on subsequent refills.

The most experienced "packer" knew enough to ask the clerks to bring out boxes containing specific parts that he needed.

I didn't see a requirement to be a teacher or a school, but I did use my ".edu" address just in case.

I don't expect to get any points.

For example, here's a really nice collection of Mindstorms parts: http://www.legoeducation.us/eng/product/lego_mindstorms_education_resource_set/2214 for just $99 (I ordered two).

I can't wait to order one!

There's another urgent care facility under construction in Redmond, this one in Redmond Town Center.

Is there truly a need for this much urgent care?
Is there something more interesting (e.g. some government funding) behind this?
Where are all of the medical personnel needed to staff these facilities coming from?

Again, there will soon be more Urgent Cares than Starbucks in Redmond.

I've been here since the early days. I'll try to post more.
