  Not sure if anybody noticed this, but on Sunday we got buzzed by a low flying asteroid. Really buzzed, like scary close. The story is here: Small Asteroid Passes Between Satellites and Earth. It passed so close it was underneath the orbit of some satellites. Cosmic, eh?

  Well it's all over but the liver damage, people. The Christmas party is done for another year. For those that showed up, hopefully you had a good time. For those that didn't show, why not? And don't give me any of that "Oh, but I'm 12 000 km away on another continent" crap. Well, actually that's not a bad reason, but besides that one there's no good excuse. I would like to thank Nikki for once again coordinating and orchestrating the whole evening. She worked her butt off and it shows. Her butt's still ...

  Ok, so we are finally here, T-8 hours to the Christmas Party. If we aren't ready by now, we never will be, so why worry? We have about 45 people confirmed that are coming, which is awesome. I'm leaving work soon, hopefully, to pick up some new music and some other last minute items. I'm going to try to make a playlist or two before tonight, and help Nikki get ready. Remember, plan now to crash over, that way you won't argue with us so much when we talk you into it... :-)

  Ah, Canada. Land of the legal pot, legal gay marriage and enemy to the American way of life, as told by the American government. It's really kind of funny if you look at it that way, it never occurred to me that Canada is sliding further away from the US in terms of policy and way of life. Check out this article (titled Canada Goes to Hell) from a San Francisco newspaper. It's absolutely hilarious, it's especially enlightening to see an American's perspective on Canada, although I'm sure it's a bit exaggerated, or rather I hope it is. Here's a bit: After ...

  Well, we're down to about 30 hours remaining until the party. Have you responded yet? Have you located your bells to put on before you come? Get on with it, people. Preparations continue at home; cleaning, arranging, decorating, monkeys greasing their rollerskates, carb loading should begin soon, tomorrow morning Nikki will shave my head so I will be completely unimpeded and streamlined for my party activities. Kidding, of course. In the spirit of the season, I erected this year's mascot last night. Boy, that's a loaded sentence, eh? The word "erected" in particular should show up prominently on the Google ...

  Here's an article about the world's fastest elevators in the world's tallest building, TFC 101 in Taipei. It's incredibly fast, rising to the top of the tower at 60mph. The article goes on to say the elevator cars have a system so that your ears don't pop, given the change in altitude. Also, the cars themselves are streamlined to reduce the whistling noise caused by the high speeds in the narrow shaft. um, yep. Allow me to clarify for a minute. I'm sure those engineer types are smart fellers, but do you really think the high pitched whistling noise is caused by the ...
