Computer Security Day
Are you practicing Safe Hex?
As the saying goes - you can never be too rich, too thin, or too computer secure! (?) Have you updated Windows recently? Is your virus software up to date? How about your firewall? Do you even know what I’m talking about?

If not then here are some links to help you on your way to practicing Safe Hex!

This is a google maping of some of the cooler christmas decarations you can find in the US, Canada, and the UK right now. So if you happen to live in the area, take a look. They should be light up right now! http://christmas.bronners.com/
In the UK, there is a place dubbed ‘Angle lane’ where all of the houses are light up, unfortunately none of the house seem to be on this map. I’ll see If I can’t find the location via google maps. . . I’ll update this post with that info the second I find it!

Upside Down Christmas Tree: Nothing New But Still Weird!

Even though its been around for a couple of years. And in holiday store displays, on and off, for quite a while. I still find it weird to see an upside down Christmas Tree!

I received an email earlier today from a catalogue site called Frontgate. Among the items on sale was this "Chandelier Christmas Tree". Even on sale at $295 is still out of our budgets!

Oh! And it comes pre-lit too!

Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Tonight!

You don’t have to be a New Yorker (but it helps!) to enjoy the annual lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree tonight.

While the town is already spiffed up in its holiday best, its always the lighting of the tree that officially makes it "Christmas Time in the City!"

So watch tonight on NBC as Al Rocker and Ann Curry join a bunch of stars as they sing their versions of the holiday classics. And if you’re lucky enough to live in the NYC area you can catch the pre-show at 7PM and then the national broadcast at 8PM. Thats 2 whole hours of Holiday Goodness!!

Update: Broadcast in High Definiation TV! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH Purty!!
