## free geek

My flight is not scheduled for a bit so I did my usual time killing stuff. I have been a subscriber to the "Does Not Compute" Youtube channel for years. Collin always gets stuff from a store called Free Geek Twin Cities. I went there today.

There was a Thinkpad x230 Tablet and a Thinkpad x240 that both appealed to me. However, taking them home in my already weighty carry on bags gave me pause. I was successfull in resisting. If they would've had any small voice recorders or small computers/PDAs, I'd have likely walked out with them. Alas, fate was on the side of my wallet.

## mall of america

I also made a stop at the Mall of America and picked up a novelty tee shirt at Spencers. Spencers always throws me back to the late 80s/early 90s. Did some window shopping and then actually remembered where I parked. The MoA is frigan huge. I was worried initially.
