• 15:09 One of Alicia's presents didn't arrive in time. What can I put in an IOU box? Hmm... #
• 15:11 "Christmas Shoes" kind of pisses me off. Is the writer so conceited he really thinks God killed a lady to teach him about Christmas? Lame. #
• 19:42 The local postmaster hand delivered Alicia's missing package at 6pm. How freaking cool is that? #
• 21:27 My daughter is confounded by the concept of a prequel. "How does something before come after?" #

• 09:36 Touch screens will be found in all sorts of other devices as well, from mid-range mobile handsets to monitors as well as eBook readers. #
• 09:37 Beatles records will finally appear on iTunes. Apple, along with acquisition Lala, will further revolutionize the sale of digital music. #
• 09:38 Microsoft will continue to gain market share with their Bing search engine, but it will only threaten Yahoo and Ask in 2010. #
• 09:40 Most Windows XP holdouts will migrate to Windows 7. It is remarkably easy to use, and rather fast to boot. #
• 09:42 The netbook craze of 2009 will give way to notebooks in the 12" range. These 12" models will be widely available for under $500 in 2010. #
• 09:42 Sadly, jetpacks and hovercars are still years away. Boo. #
• 11:22 How much do you think CVS Pharmacy paid for their gigantic ad over the front page of today's News & Observer? #
• 20:27 All I want for Christmas is a hockey team that doesn't suck. #
• 21:08 Settling down with the family to watch The Hogfather. #

• 09:07 My tweets were seen by @collectiveSanta who says I’m naughty & deserve to lose a filling in an Xmas toffee. Visit Santa is.gd/53nHE #
• 12:02 Anyone familiar with the Omega To Go supplement? I'm looking for something with Omega 3 and Vitamin D that won't break the bank. #
• 12:14 Freaky. RT @ice_chip How about his scenario for the Flyers game: Laviolette and McCarthy behind Flyers bench, Leighton in net? Could happen. #
• 20:49 From "Deader Still" by @antonstrout: "Did you know that Benjamin Franklin was a necromancer?" Cute throwaway line, then two pages later... #
• 20:51 "It's only in truly bad fantasy books that historical figures ever turn out to be supernatural or dabbling in the dark arts." Well played. #
• 21:00 Sarah Palin just blew my mind. And not in a good way. twitter.com/SarahPalinUSA/status/6823906156 #

• 22:25 Lame, lame, lame Survivor ending. The jury totally threw it. #

• 18:05 twitpic.com/ueyyo - Oh heck yeah! #

• 21:43 Power is flickering. Crap. #

• 12:14 Beautiful snowfall in Pittsboro right now. #
• 12:30 twitpic.com/u1ea0 - Whoa here too. And now heavy sleet. #
• 16:01 twitpic.com/u2d8o - A large, mysterious crate was delivered to my office today. #
• 18:04 Master P named his daughter "Cymphonique." I guess that's why he's "Master P" and not "Master Babynamer." #

• 08:58 I'm feeling particularly holiday-ish with my company Christmas potluck contribution of chips, salsa and Ro-tel and Velveeta dip. #
• 14:01 Quote of the year: "Keep your government hands off my Medicare." bit.ly/4Nt7Y0 #

• 20:41 My wife thinks I look weird when I wear two pairs of socks during cold weather. Fair enough. I think her legwarmers are downright freakish. #

• 19:07 FSN Carolinas radio spot: "This year, the Canes are going for it all!" By "all," they clearly mean "first overall draft pick." #

• 10:06 Each year we typically get tons of Christmas cards and goodies at my workplace. So far this year we only have a card from the paperboy. #
• 15:07 Completely covered in hives. What the heck did I get into now? #
