It’s still October.

Have a Better Christmas
After managing somehow to stave it off the entire season, I have finally taken grossly ill just in time for Christmas. Because 2016, I guess.
So, have a much better Christmas than me, everyone!

Party Time!
Finally done with shopping, wrapping, and shipping! Now I’m all ready for my favorite year-end party (…well, almost – still need a few more snacks!).
What’s everyone else doing for the holidays?

Speaking of Reindeer
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! But it’s just not quite complete without reminding everyone to go check out some weirdtastic Finnish reindeer drama:
Reindeer Drama
You can’t always strike gold when absently perusing Netflix, but sometimes, you might strike…reindeer?
Don’t strike reindeer, though. That’s terribly rude.
Reindeer Drama: Part -1
After seeing the second movie, tracking down the first became a necessity.
It does not disappoint.
Glory in their madness, and have a happy new year!

Sear’s Science Snippets – On Reindeer
Ever wonder how Santa’s reindeer can fly? I’m not sure I was expecting this answer.
Have a fantastic Christmas, everyone!

Sear’s Science Snippets – On Pumpkins
For anyone who missed Sear’s Halloween special last week, watch to learn the fascinating story behind the use of pumpkins!

Happy Old Year
The year’s about to call it quits,
Along with all the romp and fest,
And Santa Claus is chuffed to bits
To have eleven months of rest.
Hope everyone had as wonderful a Christmas as could be! The new year is upon us, but hey, don’t count this one out just yet – there are still several days left in 2014!
So do something awesome before Thursday rolls around. Something big, something memorable – something you can look back on and say you accomplished in 2014, even as its final moments slipped through your fingers like a greased-up ribbon in a strong breeze. After all, being able to say you did that one thing that one time is what it’s all about, right?
Well, what is it? What’s the thing?
See you in 2015. (>^-‘)>

The Uncomfortable
There are few things I find as funny as the artfully wrong, so I can’t help but cringe with delight at Greek architect Katerina Kamprani’s ongoing art project, The Uncomfortable, in which she redesigns household objects to make them – shall we say – a little less useful.
Behold their terrible genius and weep. And then check out her website and Facebook page for more.
Have a merry (and functional) Christmas, everyone!

Shop ’til You Don’t
BUY ALL OF THE CHRISTMAS
Christmas shopping is hard, man.
Well, the shopping part is kind of fun, in a festive tradition-y sort of way.
It’s the ideas – those are hard. You’re on the spot, and no matter how well you know some people, when tasked to produce a single, paltry thought as to something – anything – they might enjoy or find useful, the best you can come up with is “uhhhhhh…”
You know how it is.
But when you do find that perfect something – that’s the stuff, right there. Yeah. Then you take a few minutes to nod in self-congratulation, because you deserve it. Good job, you.
I think I’m about halfway done. That’s about…I’d say…around 50% less done than I’d like to be. This year’s been trickier than others for some reason. I think I just left my creativity in a box somewhere while moving, and still haven’t unpacked it yet.
Need to find that stuff. Then I can get back to nodding.

This is Wrong
No. No, no, no, no, no. No.
What–what is this?
No.
This is wrong.
What were they trying to–what is–how–and why…!?
Awful…Christmas monster?
No. Just no.
No.
It’s horrible. Get it away.
How could you, ShopKo?
The horror is mighty.
Just…no.
