Got a poker trivia book as a stocking-filler. This guy sounds amazing (in a drug-addled/untimely-death kinda way).

Forgot to link this last week. The second half of this episode is funny in a big way.
Recycle Christmas Cards
If you're in the UK it's as easy as pie to recycle your Christmas cards. Just chuck 'em in a bag and saunter to your nearest Tesco or WHSmith where you will find recycling facilities available throughout January. And with that I bid you... Merry Christmas!

Eco-Friendly Ideas: Plastic Bags
What time is it? It's eco time.
As a general rule, plastic bags are bad, I gather. So here are a couple of things I've been trying lately:
- When you get home with a plastic carrier bag and empty it, don't shove it in the bin; store it by stuffing it inside previously stored plastic bags and then use it for lining paper bins and stuff.
- If you're buying a handful (literally) of things from a supermarket/shop/whatever, just stop and think, "Do I really need a plastic carrier bag?" The other options are: carry items in hand; put items in a bag you're already carrying; put items in pockets; put items in undergarments. If possible, tell the checkout person, "Don't bag those items dude!"
Hey smart guy, if you have any other ideas, make a comment.

I chuckle at their chatter.
Black scheme
Hope you're loving the new colour scheme as much as I. Back in black. Black is back. Black is the new black. Etc.

Yahoo on fire - flickr and delicious
Yahoo! are making seriously cool decisions at the moment. First they acquired Flickr and now Delicious (if you're not using those services already, you really should, they plain rock). And to top it all off, they're hiring the hip Brits too (Willison and Coates). I think it's time to switch allegiances - I'm easily led - nice knowing you Google!
Update: Another recent acquisition is Konfabulator, which is one of those desktop widget thingies that I've never really used for any sustained period of time.
Alan Skerrett : Eco Warrior
I'm lazy and self-centred. I recycle bottles (beer and wine mostly), but mainly because my wife nudges me towards the recycling bin. That's bad. I should make more effort to keep our planet healthy.
I'm going to try and change a few things in my life and with a bit of luck, step-by-step, one day I will earn the title Eco Warrior.
"What's this got to do with me?" I hear you bellow. Well, I'm going to tell you about my eco adventures and with any luck you'll think, "Hey, that guy's lazy like me, but he found a hassle-free way to be more environmentally-friendly. I'm gonna do that too."
And together we'll save the Earth. Or maybe not. Whatever, I'll try and stick some jokes in to keep you amused.
To get you in the mood, let's think about whether real or fake xmas trees are better.
