Mandalorian...

Image
Last week, Mom and I began watching the Mandalorian , a live-action series set in the Star Wars universe. According to Disney ... After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic.

Expanding and Collapsing Sections in the Contempo Sidebar...

Image
I wasn't really thrilled with the default About Me section offered by Blogger that links to my profile, so, for a while, I simply didn't have an About Me section. Recently, I wanted to reorganize my sidebar and group some links into a custom  About Me section. Since the new section would, and really should, be at the top of the sidebar, I didn't want it to negatively impact the other sidebar sections below. So, I came up with a way to reuse the expanding and collapsing functionality that appears in the archive and labels sections. In this way, it was hoped that the new section could be collapsed and take up less space in the sidebar.

Infinity Train...

Image
A few years ago, Cartoon Network aired a pilot episode for Infinity Train ... Trapped on a mysterious train full of puzzles and perils, a headstrong 12-year-old girl must use her wits to uncover the train's many secrets -- and hopefully return home. Tulip's mind-bending journey will find her forging friendships with One-One, a robot with dueling personalities, and Atticus, the canine king of Corginia. But with new surprises awaiting them in every car, will Tulip ever find a way off the train?

Penguin Highway...

Image
I picked up Penguin Highway at my local big box store with an asterisk on the outside... Budding genius Aoyama is only in the 4th grade, but already lives his life like a scientist. When penguins start appearing in his sleepy suburb hundreds of miles from the sea, Aoyama vows to solve the mystery. When he finds the source of the penguins is a woman from his dentist's office, they team up for an unforgettable summer adventure!

Creating A Dynamic Flipcard Gallery For Blogger...

Image
Years ago, Blogger Introduced Dynamic Views , but, at the time, I wasn't entirely convinced to take the plunge as an early adopter. Recently, I decided to revisit the subject and create a modest Dynamic Flipcard Gallery by invoking a dynamic view in a frame. To get started, add the following HTML using the HTML view in the editor to the post or page where the Dynamic Flipcard Gallery  should appear. Substitute the highlighted text with your blog URL (i.e.: https://www.example.com or https://example.blogspot.com ):
