A few years ago Disneyland opened up a music store on Main St. that contained these nifty interactive kiosks. The kiosks would let you burn custom CDs containing up to 10 tracks of vintage Disneyland attraction audio from the park’s opening in 1955 all the way up to the present. The system was called “Disneyland…

Someone posted this postcard in the bathroom stalls here at work. I found it very funny.

But, for whatever reason, security in Anaheim is a lot tighter, and backstage areas have never…
I am having an extremely awesome day today. My drive to work this morning was amazing. There was no traffic to be found on any of the freeways that I take! It was like driving to work on a weekend! Then Tammy told me it was Columbus Day and it all made sense. You’d think…
Which Fantasy/Sci-Fi Character Are You?
