Happy New Year all.  I hope you had a safe and happy holiday season.  Mine was just right!

Here is a really cool website that lets you browse through advertisement new and old. I spent some time going through just a couple of the categories and found some really cool stuff. Enjoy.

This wonderfully fun and strange rendition of Jingle Bells via Tom Baker.  This should help to put you into the season or at least make you smile.

Space beer, yes you read the title right.  Some barley that was in space back in 2006 has found its way into some beer over at Sapporo.  Only 250 six packs were produced coming in at a whopping $110.  There is lottery for purchase and anyone can enter.   My only concern much like the grown pork meat is after drinking will I crave brains?

This is the second article I have read this year about grown meat.  It is only a few more years until this becomes common practice.  Two question remain for me – will it be lean and healthy and will it turn me into a zombie?
