Merry Christmas

That's it.

Yeah, so no real post today, or tomorrow probably, but something fun on Friday. Be good. Have a merry Christmas and remember why we celebrate.

Tonight, hope will be born again into the world. On this day, I'm more like a Pagan than a Christian, in that I celebrate the rebirth of light into the world.
My your light be rekindled tonight, too.
Amen

NORAD Tracks Santa

This ought to appeal to my geek and non-geek readers alike!

So, I bet you thought NORAD was just for the Cold War, right? Or that Cheyenne Mountain was just a set for Stargate? Well, no, it's far more than that. In just a few short days, NORAD will become Santa Tracking Central. No, I'm not kidding. NORAD tracks Santa.

And, this year, you can track him via Google Maps, Twitter and updates to your cell phone. Thanks to NORAD Santa has gotten all Web 2.0 and high-tech, just in time for Christmas!

ToDo on your desktop

I love todo lists!

It may surprise some of my readers who know me in RealLife, but I love todo lists. I don't know how I'd get through my day without them, actually. I'm sure it confuses people when I tell them I'll work on something and spin around to type into a terminal window, though, since I use a super simple, text-based todo list, which I've actually mentioned before.
