I was running through the xmas pics I posted down below, and I keep coming back to this one, with the Fiend watching (& mirrorring) mom's reaction to her gift.
Kids are always watching, always learning.
They respond to what you are, not what you say.

cars + windows
I can't be the only one who sees disaster looming here.
I admit to being outside the telecommunications mainstream (this is my cell phone, fer chrissakes) but...isn't that functionalty already covered by plenty of other gadgets (iPods, etc). And even my ultra-ghetto cell phone has a hands-free solution right there on its homepage.
So who the fuck thinks MORE distractions in the car is a direction we need to go?
Why, Bill Gates and Bill Ford!
Save me, Joe Louis....
The new technology -- dubbed "Sync" -- will finally bring together two industries that have long been expected to cross paths, allowing consumers to use their vehicles as computers in key ways, such as hands-free cell phone calls or downloading music or receiving e-mail.

Ford and Gates said that having high-definition screens in vehicles, speech recognition, cameras, digital calendars and navigation equipment with directions and road conditions will set car companies apart from their competitors in the future.
"There are going to be those who have it and those who don't. And even those who get it later are going to be a generation behind," Ford said.
Ford praised the way the industries were working together, saying engineers were bringing new ideas forward "faster than we can assimilate" them.

Happy New Year's
Everyone have a good New Year's Eve and make it home safe.
The wife has tricked me into attending not one but two parties.
Hopefully she is even now preparing to cater to my voluminous morning-after needs,training at a snowy mountaintop dojo under the watchful eye of a sensei with a wispy white beard that brushes the floor and a liberal hand with his walking stick/quarterstaff.
Following my hoarsely whispered commands to the letter while I lie prostrate in the semi-darkness*, soothing my self-inflicted mental wounds with the coloful visual balm of Bowl Games is no task for the unprepared, undertrained or faint of heart.
*think Fat Brando in his caftan from the Apocalypse Now outtakes.
