Added Reset to my pull list. Could be interesting, could be weird – only 4 issues so I am willing to give it a go.

tl;dr My son is a gamer. My daughter not so much.

All screenshots were taken on December 13th 2011. The son’s 3DS has been in usage since early June 2011 and the daughter’s 3DS since April 2011 – ie. roughly 7 months and 9 months respectively.

A funny thing to note is that while the daughter’s usage of the 3DS has declined since the initial phase (where anything new is used constantly) the son’s usage hasn’t really seen any drop. To be fair he also used the daughter’s 3DS before he got his own, so the stats are a bit skewed.

Also note that the scale on the son’s 3DS goes to 80 hours – on the daughter’s it is 60 hours.

The main points are as follows:

For more details look at the pretty pictures below.

A new year but still not a lot of new blog posts…

Lots of good stuff this time. Saga by Brian K. Vaughan looks very interesting – a big story set in a big universe. More Empowered is always (always!) great. And a Channel Zero collection with all the issues. Channel Zero has always been one of my favorite (way too short) series, and I am missing an issue so this collection is just right for me. Now they just need to reprint the t-shirt as I am also missing one of those.

For some strange reason Too Much Coffee Man is not part of my collection. It will be now.

On our way home the hotel the wife and I decided to stop by the ARoS Art Museum in Aarhus. We had been talking about it for a long time but never got around to it and after a relaxing weekend without any kids it seemed appropriate to finish it off by being sophisticated (or at least pretending to).

The new rainbow thingie at the top of the building is an incredible sight – even if I haven’t got the slightest clue as to what the artist was trying to say with this work. There was also an exhibit where you were walking around in rainbow colored fog with very low visibility. Combine that with a bunch of school kids running around in there and you get quite an exciting experience.

The wife and I decided that we deserved some alone time so we handed of the kids to my in-laws and went for a weekend get-away at Hotel Vejleford.

The hotel and spa was simply great. It was a weekend of relaxation, beautiful nature and great food. I highly recommend it – and while the wife was getting an hour-long massage I managed to sneak off and go read some comics

Don’t expect anything about electronics here – by flip-flop I mean the shoe.

I get home from work on Friday and I notice that the daughter’s flip-flop is looking kind of lonely.

I feel so lonely...

I ask her about it and get the reply “it’s on the roof” as if that’s the most natural thing in the world. She goes on to explain how it got up there and apparently it all makes perfect sense to her but all I am left with are more questions. Kids.

The roof, the roof...

Luckily for me the son is an avid collector of all kinds of stick, twigs and branches so I pick out a nice long stick with a V-shape at the end and lift the flip-flop down from the roof. Yay, dad is a hero!

Together again

Not the most interesting story but it felt absurd when I was in the middle of it, so I had to write it down.
