Promise: That’s not me.
As much as it looks like me in my younger days, I vow that I have never been a hairstylist in Chicago.

My Rendition of Ukranian Bell Carol
It may not be quite as good as David Foster’s version, but this one’s mine to share. A little winter wind and musical mystery for you to add to your Christmas collection.

Amazon’s Recommendations
Which is weirder: that Amazon would recommend these two seemingly miles-apart albums to me, or that it’s absolutely spot-on?

Learned Helplessness: What’s with these people?
Following hard on the heels of a story that my wife capitalized on earlier this month, here’s another one about another man in the UK whose inordinate trust in his GPS landed him in the middle of trouble. Granted, the dude was as drunk as a skunk, but still….

The Brick Testament
These are the generations of Lego.
In the beginning was Godfred Kirk Christiansen. And he begat ducks and clothes hangers and stepladders and ironing boards and stools and all manner of wooden toys in the land of Billund. And Godfred named it Lego, and it was good.
And Lego begat a plastic injection-molding machine. And the plastic injection-molding machine begat all manner of recreational folly, of Bilo-fix and of Duplo and of Terapi I, II and III.
And a great fire befell the children of Lego, the wooden toy warehouse of its fathers, and production of wooden toys was discontinued entirely. And Godfred Kirk Christiansen resigned as chairman of the board of Lego. And the children of Lego rent their garments in anguish.
But behold, the the house of Lego was granted the title “Purveyor to Her Majesty, Queen Margrethe of Denmark.” And there were fashioned great churches and cathedrals of Legos, and of Speed Slammers and of decorative foam and of Bionicles and of Clickits. And Lego begat video games about Legos of Lego Star Wars and of Lego Indiana Jones and of Lego Batman. And those were pretty good, too.
And now… now there are Bible stories illustrated with Lego.

Speed Racer Nirvana
Attention all parents of young boys: I just found all 52 episodes — the entire opus — of Speed Racer online at hulu.com. I suggest, before visiting the link, you first go out and stock up on a good supply of your favorite Saturday-morning kids’ cereal (maybe some Count Chocula, a few Crunchberries, a big bowl of Honeycomb, or maybe this offensive concoction) before parking your kids in front of the screen for hours at a time.
