To get the taste of the holidays out of you mouth, whether it be turkey and suppressed anger from time with the family, or the taste of a gun barrel and tears if you are alone, here is a little Calvin and Hobbes.

Happy Christy Hollidays

It’s the normal self help/infomercial crap I know, but it’s entertaining, and has some good ideas.

I finally got caught up on this season’s Eureka episodes. Man I love this show.

Half Life 3 – HL3 is Coming!

Dead sexy, and electric.  In a few years it might even be affordable.

Exclusive First Drive: Tesla Roadster – Autoblog

It’s a 53KWh battery.

If you tried to use a regular 110V plus (1.85KW), it would take over 29 hours.
If you use a 230V, 30A outlet (like a dryer outlet), it would take over 9 hours.
If you install a 230V, 60A connection (special sub-panel), it’ll take over 5 hours.

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.

The next funniest video is their video response to the first video.

I’ve been using Launchy for a while, but I hadn’t tried Runny (bad name).  Its good stuff.
Launchy 1.25 Adds Customizable Commands – CyberNet News

The newest version of Launchy that was just released a few days ago includes a nifty plugin called Runny. This plugin will let you add your own custom commands to Launchy so that you get the most out of the free program. I do have to admit that this is a really great feature…and below I’ll demonstrate how to use it.
