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. Somehow, despite my battles with the captain, I still managed to get my Christmas shopping done, although it was a little closer to the wire than I would have liked…and the …
Can We Forget The Right To Be Forgotten?
Among the many things I didn’t get a chance to write about thanks to the absolute sucktitude of 2014 is the absolute sucktitude of the European Union’s right to be forgotten ruling. If you don’t know what that is, here’s a nice explainer for you. But thanks to classical pianist Dejan Lazic, I won’t have …
Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas Indeed
I wasn’t going to post this, but I keep giggling at it, so up it goes. The Christmas songs are playing through the mall, and I either tune them out or get annoyed by them. But I think if they played these tunes, they’d get my attention…and probably the attention of a few gazillion angry …
You Can Look A Lot Less Like An Old Bag, And All You Need Is…The Stuff In This Old Bag
So, imagine that you open your door, and find a small zip-lock bag full of a strange brown substance on your doorstep. The note taped to it with painter’s tape says it comes from a local spa, includes that spa’s logo, and claims it’s a new face cream that has been developed, and your neighbourhood …
Someone Other Than Rogers Now Offers WWE Network. Welcome Aboard, Eastlink
The laugh and a half national rollout of the WWE Network in Canada got a bit more national today. Here’s a press release that takes far too long to get to the damn point and still leaves out something pretty important. HALIFAX, Dec. 17, 2014 /CNW/ – With today’s addition of the World Wrestling Entertainment Network …

Hey, It’s Tradition!
And now, Gill’s apparent holiday VC takeover continues. Every year around this time people gather around, put up decorations, and sometimes drag out those awful sweaters with Santa doing the hula. It’s those things that make you shake your head, want to sometimes run screaming for the hills, but you do them all the same, …
Video Of The 1971 Bruno Sammartino Ivan Koloff Title Change
Ivan Koloff vs. Bruno Sammartino Yes, this is the match from 1971 where Ivan wins the title. The one Bruno talks about in all of his interviews. I was under the impression that footage of it didn’t exist because the WWWF didn’t film it. But somebody outside of the company (probably a fan) did, and …

Those Holiday Classics
And now, Gill is here to list a few of her favourite Christmas specials. I can’t believe she left out Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. That one’s always been a favourite of mine. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen it, but last night I made Carin sit down and watch it with me because …
