Happy New Year
My daughter has to work tonight, so my wife and I will spend the night at home - alone. We'll tape the ball drop and celebrate with the family early next week when we can all get together. In the meantime,...

Jon Stewart - Geroge Carlin
I'm a big George Carlin fan - he was part of my generation. In this video clip, a young Jon Stewart interviews Carlin for about 10 minutes.
This Is Interesting
We often hear about the toll that shoplifting takes on retail stores - it can cost them tons in profits and force them to raise the price on items that us honest folks want to buy.
Well, Gawker is reporting on a study done on shoplifting, and it turns out that the help who work in the stores are the biggest culprits. The study found out that "larcenous employees averaged $1,890 in theft, compared with $438 for shoplifters."
You can click the ink above to hit up the site and follow Gawker's leads to the original story, but Gawkers language is a little raw and not for kids.

I love new technology
Back around Thanksgiving, we had a little accident with the TV in our (small) living room, so it gave me the excuse to go out and buy a new flat screen model. I settled on a 32" Samsung that was top rated by Consumer Reports - 1080P 
with a 120Hz refresh rate. Bought a new stand for the TV as well (no easy way to run cables to the back of it, so we didn't wall mount it).
Loved the TV - great pictures from Time-Warner cable even though their hi-def channels are only broadcast in 1080i. The old DVD player/recorder I had in the living room was sort of sad (Sony) and I'd had trouble playing some DVD's with it ever since I got it. Not sure why it didn't work right - for months I swore that the Netflix discs I was getting were bad - took me a while to figure out it was the machine.
At any rate, a few days before Christmas I bought a Samsung Blu-ray player - also
highly rated by CR. I've got just one bitch - every time I turn on the Blu-Ray player, it automatically disconnects the TV from the cable connection and forces a connection between the player and the TV. Sometimes I turn on the player just to remove a disc and I don't want the TV station lost. But - small inconvenience.
The best part of the setup? I can connect to my Netflix account via my wireless router and stream Netflix and YouTube without passing through a computer. Man, that's really neat stuff.

Seniors - Joke
Two businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store.
As yet, the store wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other, 'I bet any minute now some idiot is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we're selling.'
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious senior walked to the window, had a peek, and in a soft accent asked 'What are you sellin' here?'
One of the men replied sarcastically, 'We're selling assholes.'
Without skipping a beat, the old timer said, 'You're doing well, only two left.'
Seniors - God bless them - BUT don't mess with them.
