Apparently it’s Christmas already
According to my radio alarm, at least. It went off today at 5 am playing Jingle Bells. What’s happening? So I have a question for you… do you like / dislike Christmas music? What about Manheim Steamroller?

How old is the earth
Here’s some good reading on how old the earth is. One of the more interesting observations in the article: Red blood cells and hemoglobin have been found in some (unfossilized!) dinosaur bone. But these could not last more than a few thousand years—certainly not the 65 million years from when evolutionists think the last dinosaur…
Google search for “www”
Does anybody know why when you search Google for “www” it gives me results like Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, and hundreds of other major corporations?? It’s really interesting to me and I wonder if this is who Google thinks is best?
Interesting Google UI Element
Today we were experimenting with the new Google Insights for Search tool and thought that the category filtering tool was interesting. At first glance it appears to be a drop down menu but it’s actually Javascript. Very well done (although definitely some areas for improvement) and an interesting way to help people filter content.

In the mirror
I was talking with my brother in law this morning wishing him a happy 30th birthday. I asked him what its like to be so old. He says “Yeah, I’m sitting here in front of the mirror watching my hair turn gray. It’s amazing. It’s happening while I watch.” I sent him this t-shirt from…

Some photos of a really nice place. Some screen grabs from the King Kong trailer. It’s warm up at the North Pole. A random image and random url script from 1998 that still works. Remember that guy who took photos with a camera hanging from his kite? Well, he’s been busy uploading photos to Flickr….

Dude, it’s only a week from the official beginning of the shopping season so I’m not too surprised they’re starting with the music already. However, at my office complex, they started wrapping the trees with lights about a week prior to Halloween. For me, that was a bit over the top.
Anyway, I dig Christmas music. But like anything, it gets old after listening to it day after day, especially if it’s all in the same format. I think the bigger issue is, in fact, radio stations that are stuck in a particular format, playing from the same limited list all day long.
I’d like to see radio change to just playing good music, there’s so much out there that never hits the airwaves. I’d imagine there’s probably some great Christmas music out there that we’ve never heard.
Uhh…it’s also Friday already. Where’s the photo caption contest, seen exclusively on Brainfuel every Friday?
; )
I worked retail for all of high school and college (about 7 years) where the only time it wasn’t Christmas was April and June. Christmas music makes me foam at the mouth, particularly jingle bell rock as we sold those stupid dancing Santas. The only Christmas music that doesn’t completely offend me is instrumental, but Manheim Steamroller kind of creeps me out.
I don’t mind Christmas music, but I don’t enjoy the fact that all of the local radio stations are already completely Christmas music. I was listening to the radio last night and a lady called in, ecstatic that radio station wasn’t playing Christmas music already. The DJ then said “Not yet, but…. it’s time for our Christmas Music Quiz!!!”
I thought it was pretty funny how the DJ was all proud that they weren’t playing Christmas music yet and then jumped right to the Christmas Music Quiz.
Caption contest is coming soon. Thanks for holding out folks.
The official beginning of Christmas music in department stores is November 15th. 🙂
Ahh…My wife listens to christmas music non-stop during the holidays. It drives me crazy! Manheim Steamroller, don’t get me started.
