Holiday Greetings, Major Awards and Nerds, Nerds Nerds!

Well, in case you haven't heard, you (and more importantly by extension ME) has been named Time Magazine's person of the year. They chose the inclusive group of bloggers, YouTube submitters, Wikipedia etitors, Flickr contributors...people with MySpace profiles...Facebook...Second life...what? Anyway, the honor is either inspired genius or sheer lazy hackery. Personally, I find it all too coincidental. This blog was started in February, and by the end of the year, "Web 2.0" types get some recognition for all of our additions, many done in our undies, some while tipsy. I rest my case. I, the people at Gawker that actually get paid, and the NumaNuma guy thank you. Consider my resume updated.
Some more stuff for the joyous holiday season. A stuffed monkey shows you how to make fruitcake. Adorable! Boozy (traditionally)! Christmasy! It's got it all!
And finally, Ole Miss now has an untraditional fraternity for misfits and outcasts. I wish them all the best, but unfortunately, this kind of thing only works out in the movies (trust me).
