My novel is out today

I try not to post too much about non-toy stuff here, but my first novel, Elvis Sightings, came out today.

If you enjoy my blog, and like reading mystery or urban fantasy novels, I would really appreciate it if you’d consider buying my book and giving it a review. It’s available from your favorite ebook seller.

Jinkies! Big Trak is Back!

bigtrakWho didn’t envy the friend who had a Big Trak? It was a computerized vehicle that could execute a program, navigate around your room, and haul tons of cool stuff in it’s trailer.

It was a total product of the 70’s and an awesome toy. It has also been absurdly difficult to get a hold of in decent shape – Until now!!!

A brand new version of Big Trak is available, with all new accessories and smart phone apps, from a company in the UK. If you lusted for this as a kid, now’s your chance to get one without paying a fortune. Although, if you’re like me, you’ll use it for a few hours and put it on a shelf.

Centipede Board Game

Another Milton Bradley video to board game translation!

007 Board Game

Continuing with the board game theme, I present 007.

Pac Man Board Game

I think it is hilarious that there are all these board game versions of video games, and ten years later video game companies were making video games of board games.
