Don’t remember where the idea to draw this came from. Â Must have been subconsciously planning for the year ahead, and the possible purchase of a stylish and super-safe family car. Â Yeah. Â That must have been it.

We went to test drive a Honda Accord Crosstour today. Â That V6 sure is nice, with 100+ more horses than I’m used to. Â And the sweeping (albeit polarizing) body styling and larger wheels are good too — but unfortunately they combine to sabotage the rear storage compartment (which is pretty disappointing for a car of that size). Â And there, folks, is my first printed car review, clocking in at a powerfully informative three sentences. Â Take that, Edmunds.com! Â I shall soon be crowned king of online automotive advice!

Pretty much spent the whole day doing back-to-back stupid/awesome activities with friends. Â The annual horror/delight of the “scrambled eggsnog” breakfast, an early matinee of TRON, some more LEGO assembly, filling my face with delicious tacos, and finally a collective screening of a bad B-movie. Â It’s a pity days like this can’t last forever.

You know it’s a good day when you can spend a large chunk of it playing with LEGO. I definitely find that the more you play with LEGO, the greater respect you have for the amazing design behind it. Maybe that’s what inspired this goofy little sketch.

We’re getting dangerously close to that little period of the year where Southern California gets a bit of rain and cooler weather. Â Better make hay while the sun shines. Â Or at least BBQ chicken.

Went in for an eye test today. Â Can you tell yet that we’re done with the European travels and back to mundane life? Â Anyway, it was off to the optometrist. Â I always enjoy donning the evil, all-seeing robot mask. Â And no, I don’t find that the sense of ultimate power it grants is in any way compromised by the fact that I need help using it every single time…

Today, I drew a forward-looking trumpet. Â You know, just because.

P.S. Yes, horn enthusiasts, I realize these valves aren’t exactly accurate. Â Hold your letters, please.

Kinda surprised it took this long for this to show up in a sketch. Â It’s a bargain basement cheapie, but it does the job. Â Maybe if I played it more though, I could “outgrow” it and upgrade. Â Okay, so nobody tell my wife about this little scheme…

This is how all of Sketch 365 (and then some) fits on my keychain. Â Hello, the future! Â Now make with the hoverboard.

Whoops. Â Based on some illustrations I have in a document at work, I drew this simplified sketch of a future Mars rover concept for the next decade. Â Then I realized: I’m not sure whether that document has been publicly released yet. There’s about a billion to one chance that it’s a problem, but since a quick Google search didn’t turn up any images of this thing, I figured mine probably shouldn’t be the first one out there…
