While You Were Sleeping…Your DVR Was Hard At Work

I saw this a few days ago and I thought it so sounded like something Steve would use…if it were available here and DVR’s were actually accessible here. Have you ever fallen asleep watching TV and then woke up all pissed off because you missed the end of the show? Well, this wrist band is …

History Of The NORAD Santa Tracker

I always heard about the NORAD Santa tracker, it was a thing since I was a kid. But since it was always there, I never looked into its history. Now I’ve learned that its history is kind of cute. I guess a newspaper mistakenly printed a top secret military hotline as a talk to Santa …

Merry Christmas And All That Stuff

Since I’m’ posting this today, this song makes a good soundtrack. Yeah, it’s December 23 and I don’t know where the time has gone.
