(Rant warning.)
The only problem with the world taking Christ out of Christmas comes in when you follow the “mas” rather than the Christ.
Target (and Wal Mart, and Coca Cola, and any other major corporation out there) switching from Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays! Is only bad if you switch as well.
Taking the toys and the candy and the six-months-of-debt, and the the “Black Friday” stampedes for $400 laptops, and the snowmen and the Santa Clause and the “Christmas” trees out of Christmas doesn’t spoil Christmas, it purifies it.
Corporate America can only hijack Christmas if you let it.
Read “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” sometime. Dr. Seuss knew what he was talking about.

Some of you know that the reason I learned to play guitar was because I am an avid air guitarist, which caused no end of frustration to my girlfriend (now wife) back in the day. “You don’t know how to play guitar! Stop that air guitaring, it’s annoying!”
Well, I wasn’t about to give up air guitaring, so I learned to play guitar, thus ending her reasoning for being frustrated. (I later found out that the air guitaring is annoying, regardless of one’s ability to play.)
Well, today I read an article that gives me hope for the future.
Aspiring rock gods can at last create their own guitar solos – without ever having to pick up a real instrument, thanks to a group of Finnish computer science students. The Virtual Air Guitar project, developed at the Helsinki University of Technology, adds genuine electric guitar sounds to the passionately played air guitar.
Thank you Helsinki. What will you think of next??

Sorta interesting… I think it points out my influences more than anything. Not sure the statement is entirely accurate to what I hold as most important, but it is interesting nonetheless.

Well, I’ve done it. I put some google ads on this site. Not sure that it will actually do any good, but who knows. Please let me know if I get too annoying? Thanks :)
love, the management.
