Tweeting with Jeeves
Stephen Fry is one of my favorite people on this planet (Wooster and Jeeves). He is a Mac head and uses Twitter. Today he was leaving a talk he was giving at the Mac Store in London and got stuck in a fifth floor elevator. He posted this pic to twitter. John Cleese also posts to Twitter. It can make for some really interesting moments when the two ( Read more... ) -
Congratulations Everyone!
According to some research, this is statistically the day that it is hardest to keep your New Year's Resolution. Buck the trend! Hang in there! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Here we go a-caroling...
We went caroling today at an outdoor mall in Kent, WA with our church, Saltwater Unitarian. We had a blast. We were all expecting that since we were caroling with Unitarians that we would sing about Rudolph and Frosty.
