Headed down to Optique Eyewear in Austin, TX this past week and checked out their amazing collection and gallery of eye-bling.

Besides finding some sweet frames (Alec, by Salt – Oiled Bark) I was reminded that having a web presence is super important these days.

I google-mapped “eyewear” and they popped up. The result? They got my business twice, since my wife bought a pair too.

Had an opportunity to play an old classic with my daughter this week and I realized a few things:

1. The game was “cooler” in my head than it actually is.
2. Putting it together was extremely frustrating. I’m surprised I didn’t remember how frustrating this process was…!
3. Concept is neat but execution is terrible.
4. Why hasn’t someone created an updated version of this game with better technology, cooler contraptions, and most consistent game-play experience?
5. The age restrictions/requirements are legit. My 4-year old daughter was not ready to play this game.
6. The satisfaction of capturing the mouse at the end is somewhat muted because of the laborious task of putting it together.
7. Mouse Trap still kicks butt.

I’ve captured some images with my camera for posterity though, because who knows how much longer this game will be on store shelves.

Click for larger versions; I even have a small video I made with my awesome camera too:

And… for the next few days.

Who said that summer is over? How’s your view this weekend?

A shot for the ages.

My wife Sue and my sister Jess. She’s got some wickedly-cool purple/blue hair.

She also knows where the best places to eat in Austin are, like “Home Slice” downtown.
