I have a few random links to share that have been collected this week.

The future from the past. AT&T’s “you will” commercials with many technological predictions that have come true, including EZ Pass and in car navigation. It’s pretty cool to watch. Although none of them were brought to us by AT&T like the commercials say, oh well.

One of my favorite holiday songs. Christmas with a fast food theme. mmmm.

I remember in high school this kid has one of those things that made the noise that would let you bypass putting coins in a payphone, essentially letting you make free phone calls (this was before anyone I knew had cell phones.) I thought that was the coolest thing in the world. Now, thanks to the internet, kids know how to do all kinds of evil shit. like opening padlocks with a soda can or making and using bump keys

I watched a couple shows on the Travel Channel the other night, and now there are a few things I really want to do. One I’m doing very soon, and that’s visit Phillipe’s. The French Dip sandwich was invented at Phillipe’s in 1908 and it’s pretty much a Los Angeles landmark. I’m going there and eating some sandwiches, soon. The other thing is something I’ve always wanted to do since I was a little kid and that’s go prospecting. At The Roaring Camp Goldmine you pay for a week of camping, and you can pan for gold, use a sluice box, and all that jazz. This is definitely on my agenda for this summer.

It’s Christmas time and I bet a lot of you are taking your children to see Santa for the first time. I hope you get some awesome pictures like these kids.
