Tell me I’m not alone on this one. I mean he’s a young dude with a white beard. Mommy, is Santa an albino?

The ad links to http://www.palm.com/textclaus/ by the way. I’ve seen it around on Digg and The Onion.

I like how they’re trying to be all viral with “homemade” videos on YouTube at SantasGoneCentro. I’m not quite sure it’s working for them.

I wonder what sort of crazy shit people are texting Claüs? Man they should be publishing that! In real time! On Twitter! Now that would be conversational marketing gold.

Presumptuous, I know.

I found this funny:

SELECT title, description, url
FROM internet
WHERE subject LIKE "%search query%"
ORDER BY page_rank DESC
LIMIT 10

You read the blog post, now get the t-shirt.

I can’t be the only one who’s thought it.

I, however, take the Alexander Ave exit to get to work.

In related news, I’m planning on moving my primary laptop (Thinkpad T42) over to Ubuntu (for reasons mentioned earlier). It’s been running just fine on my X23 for the last few months, and at work since I started at FM. I like the painless package management (Synaptic). I like that I can do development on it. I like that there’s a new release every 6 months.

I will miss Fireworks MX 2004, but remain hopeful that Wine will one day support it (or Adobe will open source it). It appears that Fireworks 8 works!

Update: For future reference, the [surprisingly small list of] apps that I use on Windows, and their Linux equivalents, where different.

Goodbye Windows, it’s been nice knowing ya.

I mean c’mon Ubuntu is WAY geekier than Windows Vista.

Parodies created with The Gimp on Ubuntu Edgy Eft. MTBCAD?
