Merry (belated) Christmas and Happy New Year!

Didn't get to post anything last week, so a belated Merry Christmas an a Happy New Year to everyone!

Patiently waiting for the magic hour, just a little more than two hours away in this time zone. Can't believe it's almost 2006 - I remember being wrapped up in all the Y2K stuff... doesn't seem like its been 6 years already.

Bon Jovi's playing on the TV now - *damn* these guys are starting to show their age... starting to make me feel old. I remember seeing them in Denver back in the day, when McNichols Arena was still around. How quickly the time flies...

Citizen to market big-ass flexible clock

Imagine a clock made of thin, flexible plastic film. Now imagine that clock filling half of your living room wall.

Engadget is reporting that watchmaker Citizen is doing just that - they are preparing to market a 52-inch wide wall clock made of a flexible film called e-ink. The LCD-looking clock on steroids extends battery life by 20 times vs. regular clocks and can be read from any angle.

The price? $4000.

Ouch. I think I'll wait a while on this one.

Damn its cold!

Wonderful - the temperature's dropping again. The week before last we had an overnight low of -20F... last night it got down to 2F.

Yeah, I know that December at 5000 ft above sea level is suposed to be cold, but we've been spoiled by mild winters of late. I cringe at what my natural gas bill this month will look like. Sigh.
