Since the next couple of days will be entirely devoted to my family and friends, I will be brief and wish you all the merriest of Christmas, as well as the very best to you and yours.
Turn off that computer, and go spend time with the ones you love. I know I am. :-)
It sure has been one busy quarter! Between switching jobs and my many other projects, I need this break like a fish needs water.
A time for family, [hopefully] rest, reflecting on the past year and deep thoughts on what I’d like to achieve in the soon to be new year, and how to best make it happen.
Two more days to try and complete as many tasks as possible to finish my business year on highlights, then I’ll wind down for what I think will be a well deserved break.

I’ll leave to your imagination which 11 out of 56 types I could be associated with.
And by the way, it’s a rhetorical question. ;-)
Patrick Tanguay led me to Apple’s announcement of the new TV programming offering through iTunes Canada.
I have to admit that I share his lack of enthusiasm for their offer… There’s just no way I’m going to spend money on 4:3 ratio video.
All my screens are 16:9 or 16:10: mac laptop, external monitors, iPhone, and so on. And whatever I’ll buy in the foreseeable future will obviously not going to be any other way.
They’re obviously targeting the last two remaining iPod models with such screen proportions, the Classic and Nano, but it’s just not for me. Sorry.
Nice try though. A bit late maybe but nice.
From Comic books give Kandahar kids insight into basic human rights:
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – Despite rampant police corruption and a prevailing sense that it will be years before law and order is effectively restored in Afghanistan, a simple comic book is being distributed among the children of Kandahar City in an effort to increase public awareness about the Afghan constitution, civil rights and legal reform.
