It’s that time of year again.  For 55 years, the good folks at the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, have been following Santa Claus on his journey around the world.  This year will be no different, except that now Santa will have even more followers trailing his every move via satellite.  NORAD’s Santa Tracker website, www.noradsanta.org, will be going live with Santa coverage starting at 6 AM on Christmas Eve, December 24.

All of the methods used to track Santa last year will be up and running this year, including Twitter, Facebook, Google Earth, and more.  They’ve actually added features this year, including a SantaCam to get live images of the city Santa is currently stopping at.  For those not online, you can still dial NORAD’s Santa hotline at 1-877-HI-NORAD to keep abreast of the jolly red-suited one’s latest update.  Also joining the fun will be General Motors, whose OnStar service will also be featuring a Santa Tracker.  You simply press your OnStar button and ask for a Santa Update.  Even in the car, you can follow Santa’s every move!

Santa is everywhere these days, isn’t he?  Then again, maybe he’s where he always was, and our Santa stalking methods have improved thanks to his reindeer collars and whatnot.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
