There are a couple of items that the pundits and the rumor sites say we might see in 2004, and if it's all the same to y'all in Cupertino, don't bother with these. By Chris Adamson (O'Reilly Network via MyAppleMenu)

The Night before Christmas

The Night before Christmas 12/24/2003 07:05 PM
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the site, Not a poster was stirring, not even to fight; Ante and Don were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that Spymac 3 would soon be there; The members were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of new features danced in their heads; And Kristie in her 'kerchief and Atari in cap, Had just settled down for a long winters nap.

Where Would You Send Someone You Love For Christmas? If you had unlimited funds, what would be your Hannukah or Christmas present for someone you thought really deserved one? For instance, our genial host and the owner of MetaFilter, Matt Haughey. A lot of us are presently eng aged in clubbing in to offer him a short visit to Iceland. y6y6y6 has even set up a website to solicit funds and suggestions, following enormous interest on MetaTalk. Well-known weblogs like boing boing and ani ldash are chipping in too. isn't it time we showed our appreciation? (Matt, please don't read or delete this!)

The Goats Who Ate Christmas

The Goats Who Ate Christmas 01/16/2004 10:58 AM
"Soon after the first goat, another goat came, then another -- and soon a stampede of goats, shaped like a boats prow, was aiming at and ultimately engulfing the houses. The all-seeing, Sauron-like Goat-Mind soon located all of the houses -- and we truly had swarms." (01-12)

A Desert Christmas

« Yölyhdyt [Night Lanterns] by Liisa Kyrönseppä in the Forces of Light installation in Plague Park. »

Today at lunchtime I looked outside and gaped since it appeared like it was almost night before noon. I thought we had escaped November but, perhaps not. I noticed a light therapy lamp in the coffee lounge and had to resist the desire to go press my eyeballs directly onto the bulb. My backpack still contains my sunglasses as if I'll need them for another 5 months or so. Always prepared for solar radiation, every fleeting moment of it. :)

Since we had to cancel our Feb/March travel plans due to the puppy coming later than expected Jarkko, in a fit of desperation after finding all the tours booked between now and when the puppy arrives in January, found a trip at one of the last minute cancelation agencies in a warm, arid place during the holidays. It's funny how back in my 20s I travelled all over on a whim and didn't think anything of it and these days I am less enthusiastic about seeing the world. It bothers me that I have become so jaded in my advancing age. It is that age old equation of Money | Time | Energy/Enthusiasm - pick any two. I retain the curiosity but it is tempered by my cynicism. I had to check to see if I'd need a visa to enter the country and if anyone ever read the US State Department's consular information sheets on various countries, noone would ever leave US airspace. They do make for amusing reading for those of us who live outside the US. Treat yourself to reading the language of fear, e.g. Finland;

SAFETY AND SECURITY : Finland remains largely free of terrorist incidents....

Largely free? What is that supposed to mean? No bombs but the lihakukko is a very dangerous weapon in the Karelian terrorist regime? Watch out for the drunks and their puukkos at the tram stops? There is also a section about how few cops there are in relation to the overall population. I suppose that living in a police state would make you uncomfortable visiting a place that doesn't have guys in fatigues and AK-47's hanging out in airports and on street corners. We're going to a place where we are warned that there is a lot of 'soccer-inspired violence' and evangelical christians are given a quick ride to the airport. :)

just in time for Christmas

So in the spirit of the times (sussing great gift ideas), I've convinced an old friend, and my former Dean, to spend a couple days in this space talking about his new book, In Perilous Times. Starting Wednesday, Geof Stone will be blogging here about the book. It is a great and amazing history, both optimistic and depressing. It will be Geof's first time blogging, so please make him welcome. And were I to use this space to self-promote, I might point to Businessweek's pick of the top ten books of the year. But I won't waste your time with that.

I wish you a Merry Christmas...

I wish you a Merry Christmas... 12/24/2004 01:02 PM

You know what drives me mad? "Happy Christmas". It's been driving me a bit nuts for a while now. Surely it's "Merry Christmas"? Cos otherwise how can you say, "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year"? Google agrees with me: Merry Christmas (661,000 results) vs. Happy Christmas (183,000 results). So stop it, advertising wankers. Stop it TV people. Stop it, annoying card makers. Merry is better. It means drunk.

Anyway, I'm off to see the family today, so I would imagine posting will be even more sporadic than normal over the next week or so. I hope you all have a good time visiting family and stuff. I'll be back online properly in a few scant days, no doubt busting at the seams with enthusiasm and turkey and ideas and vim. In the meantime, if you want to do something good in the world, why not donate to Oxfam US, Oxfam UK or to Stonewall. And if that's all a bit worthy for you and you've enjoyed the guff I've pumped out over the last hundred years, then why not buy me a present or something. Best wishes... xx Tom

Too many Christmas lights?

Too many Christmas lights? 12/10/2003 07:56 PM
Is there such a thing as too many Christmas lights? I love seeing lavish displays of lights at Christmas time. Some folks like a few old-fashioned Christmas lights and some like to deck the halls in a blaze of glory (this one boasts 700,000 lights). And how much does it cost to run a fabulous display?

Do you find the seasonal festivities a little cloying? One too many fruitcakes? Let the amazing horror masked karate killer girl from mars give your holiday a little edge. Prefer to have an S&M Christmas? Why not vent your seasonal spleen by kicking a little Santa butt and then festooning your tree with a few suitable pornaments? (flash & film alert, mildly nsfw stuff)
