For those that may have never seen it, Google changes their logo once a day during the Christmas week. It is kinda cool. See it here. They do it every year for Christmas and also at different holidays throughout the year.

Merry Christmas!
This is a copy of the Christmas email I sent to the people I know who’s email addresses I have I hope this finds you all doing well. The last two years have been a big growing experience for me. During this time I have discovered that for most of my life, I have been …
Carnage at DIA
Well, if you were to believe the sensation of liberal media news, that’s what you would think. Last night there was a Continental Airlines airplane flight 1404 that skidded off the runway at Denver International Airport (DIA). No one was killed and all the injuries were minor. One trauma red from what I hear, the rest …
Insane money
My brother sent me a link this week relating to the insane deal that C.C. Sabathia got for signing with the New York Yankees. C.C. is a starting pitcher that went from Cleveland to Milwaukee last year and is now a free agent. He just signed with the Yankees in a record deal of 7 …
Leeroy Jenkins
I just heard about this, but there’s a video of a bunch of nerds in their nerd guild playing World of Warcraft discussing their plan for the game when one of the players, Leeroy Jenkins, rushes in against their plan. I thought it was funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkCNJRfSZBU

Google Chrome
Today, Google announced that they have taken their web browser, Chrome, out of Beta. I know there are concerns about privacy and whatnot, but I still really like Chrome. It has been my default browser for a while now. Its much faster to load the program and then to load pages than the other browsers …
Baseball Hall of Fame
Once again, Ron Santo was denied entry into the Hall of Fame. I’m not quite the die hard fan of Santo, but as a Cubs fan, I still think he was a great player and would be deserving of a spot in the Hall of Fame. There certainly is a following of people who are …
Calvin and Hobbes Make Snow People
Calvin and Hobbes has always been one of my favorite cartoon strips of all times. Its a shame Bill Watterson only did it for 10 years. The official site is now at gocomics.com. I use Google Reader so I can see a new strip every day. My mom has always said that she thinks the …
