Audi A7 at Detroit? →
Could it be that one of the automakers actually have something new and not previously “leaked” on the internet for the Detroit Motor Show? Autoblog is speculating it might be the gorgeous…

Lie Detector for the iPhone →
If you’ve just got a new iPhone for Christmas, and aren’t quite sure what the most useful things to do with it are, try out this lie detector. Not guaranteed to be fool proof, but might be…

Big UFC fight night. Curry is ordered, beer is in the fridge so all set.
Christmas bottle of whiskey has officially been opened.
I really should post more →
Given I’ve technically been on vacation since Monday night, that should mean I’ve had loads of time to post stuff. But of course, I never quite got around to it, so you’ll have to make do with this…
attempting to make this my last day at work this year. Not sure if I’m going to be successful…..
Facebook is the new LinkedIn?
Since when did Facebook become LinkedIn - I’m thrown into a dilemna now where I have friend requests from people I used to work with, who really don’t fall into the “friend” category. Not that I don’t like them or anything, but if I’ve worked with you for 5 years and we haven’t managed to spend a night at the pub, there’s something not right there....

The Big Picture →
Take a look here, here and here. Might take u 5 or 10 minutes to get through it all, but it’s worth it.
My iTunes apparently thinks today is an 80’s day. Howard Jones and Culture Club so far……
Green Card Stuff →
I really hope that this doesn’t mean I have to stand in the non-US line when I get off the plane. Giving the fingerprints and picture isn’t really an issue given it’s already been done multiple…

Time Says Obama is the Person of the Year.
jgh:
Who is the Internet Person of the Year?
Is it Xzibit?
Capucine?
David Karp?
Rick Astley?
I think it was that chick who wasn’t really her and got found out the other week. Now that was the true internet person of the year (or at least for that day/week)
Hope this is a joke..... →

Fuck the airlines
antikris:
As if airlines dont charge enough for tickets, I have just been informed that I have to pay to check ONE FUCKING BAG. Not an extra which was bollocks alone, but I have to pay to check ONE BAG. I hate traveling so damn much!!!!!!!!!
Yip, sux big time. But on a brighter note, you used “bollocks” on Tumblr which completely made my day.

Homeless dude on the 1 train: ALL OF YOU ON YOUR JEW-RUN IPODS AREN'T EVEN LISTENING TO ME!
(Yammers on about the Ipod Jewish conspiracy for about ten minutes)
Random tourist-lady: Would you... would you like my Starbucks?
Homeless dude: (all of a sudden stops yelling) Sure, OK. (sips contentedly)
(Everyone on the train looks at each other dumbfounded, breaks into applause)
Honda made a loss in the first quarter :-s which means they’re cancelling the new NSX :-(
Blyth Spartans Make it to 3rd Round of FA Cup →
It’s kinda weird how there always seems to be one tiny little part time team who somehow get into the FA Cup later stages on a regular basis. When I was growing up, I was lucky enough for that team…
you know it’s been a cold week when your 15 degree drive into the office feels kinda toasty. Guess that + or _ sign does make all the diff..

I ADDED FALLING SNOW TO MY BLOG
topherchris:
This is the web-designer’s version of drunk texting an ex at 2am. Yet it’s 9am and I’m totally sober. It’s called The Holiday Spirit, people. Go big or go home.
One of the coolest things I think I’ve seen done to a web page. I love it.
