Rob Hyndman picks up on the US Federal Appeals Court decision to toss out a recent FCC indecency ruling.  Hallelujah for free speech!  One wonders what George Carlin would think. 

In true geek fashion, one of the gifts I gave Janice this Christmas was a blog. She loves romance, and, honestly, I get tongue tied easily (hard to believe, I know). But I do love the written word… So, at 365 Love Poems, you'll find a new poem, daily, for the next twelve months. From classic poets to modern, east and west, you'll find a daily brew of love declared, love contemplated, philosophy, romance, passion and more. It's my gift to her, but if you have someone special in your life, well…Â I'm sure she won't mind sharing. May you have a prosperous, romantic and passionate New Year.

Suzi’s at it again.  Go visit Venture Law Lines for her absolutely hilarious Lawyer Fashion Workshop, and then check out some of her Christmas gifts for various clients. 

NY Times author Christopher Elliot writes about the frustration of finding no open power sockets when travelling.  I’ve written about this before.  The worst airport, by far, is O’Hare.  Check out the restaurants, because there are no power sockets in most parts of the concourse. 

A couple of resources to help:  Jeff Sandquist’s Airpower Wiki, and the Airport Power Wiki I set up in March of this year.

People sometimes send me phones to write about, but never a white truffle dinner… enjoy!
