Merry Festives
We sent out this email last week to the friends and family for whom we had email addresses handy. Since you’re clearly possess such fine taste as to be reading this site, please enjoy a christmas card from the Begbies:
Seasons Greetings, one and “all”.
We wanted to send out christmas cards this year—But since paper, envelopes and stamps are hard things for us to organize (as those of you holding out hope of ever receiving a thank you note for a wedding gift can testify), I figured this was an easier way to do it.
Print out the attached, fold it quarterways, and display it proudly upon your mantle (or other appropriate card-supporting equipment).
Hope you’re all doing grand, and that 2005 proves to be decidedly ace.
Love,
Rod, Joy & Bacon.

£1 = $7.26?
That's quite the exchange rate on these Cadbury's Fudges in Harvard Square.
Car Talk Plaza
My dentist's office is in the same building as Click & Clack.
Brrr… it’s a bit nippy out.
The bottle of water I left in my car last night has entered the solid state.
Interesting anti-blog-spam hack from Chad Everett — Force “users” to Preview comments before posting, something which most non-human spammers can’t deal with.
The secret number is 1-800-201-7575
French police plant explosive in traveller’s luggage to test security, then lose the luggage.
