Lyrics:

You can hear it in my simple song.
And I've been drinking it all night long.
It's seeping through my marrow,
and in cupid's funny arrow.
It's Christmas time again, it's Christmas time again.

So gather round the Christmas tree.
Come and have a drink with me.
We could have a redder wine.
Couldn't have a better time.
It's Christmas time again. It's Christmas time
again.

I'll be home on Christmas Eve, and I'll be waiting, breath abated.
Hoping Santa brings a few toys because all year I've been a good boy.
Maybe New Year's I'll get kisses from a pretty, little Misses.
I've got hopes. Could be a good year. I'm just stoked that I could be here.

[Video] Glide 2 - Recorded at 210 fps, Played back at 30 fps

This is cool. Looks like some of the promotional commercials I've seen on TV.

Images are recorded at 210 per second – but the film is played back at 30 frames per second.

Blog post with lots of details at http://straylight.co.uk/?p=120 . But to answer the most common question, this was filmed with a casio exilim fh20.

Cool.

The New Facebook Profile Page: There's a Duplicates Problem

Facebook has a data normalization problem with the new profile page. It started when they added places. Add a college. Is yours a place and a page.

Do you see duplicates?

I do.



University of Massachusetts Amherst



UMass Amherst

Now try adding your work place.

Does it exist as a page on Facebook, but not show up in search when you try to add it?

Tim McIntire, The Hysterical Comedian on Spices of Life in Whole Foods Market

During the live webinar I did this week at Pixability, the conversation turned to food videos.

I mentioned that I had worked with Nina Simonds on her videoblog Spices of Life. If you're new here, you might not know about it.

Top Chef All-Stars: Anthony Bourdain Needs to Apologize to Colonoscopies

In the first episode of this season's Top Chef All-Stars, jusdge Chef Anthony Bourdain says the following when judging a dish:

“As I’m eating it, my mind is drifting back fondly to my last colonoscopy. It was that bad.”

Video:


Video Courtesy Top Chef: All-Stars Bravo TV

I was shocked when I heard this.

Shocked!

Cancer screening is not something to joke about. Especially colonoscopies, which have a bad rap as something painful, which leads to many not getting this important procedure.

Anthony Bourdain needs to apologize to colonoscopies.

On his blog he blames gin and apologizes to Fabio, Sorta:

I feel bad about beating up on Fabio. Maybe I'm losing my edge. Maybe I should leave the bloodletting to my sinister French colleague, Eric Ripert. Or that English guy ... what was his name? Maybe I should confine myself to constructive criticism. To a kinder, gentler, more mentor-like approach. Wear a big fluffy f---ing sweater to Judges' Table, speak in quiet, melifluous Garrison Keilloresque tones. Maybe lay off the gin.

Or not.

He makes no mention of the colonoscopy remark.

Livestrong: Colonoscopy

Katie Couric colon cancer screening on national TV saved lives by getting people to take a colonoscopy screening:

Katie saved many lives by showing viewers how the procedure worked, and that it was easy and painless. People often imagine the worst. They talk themselves out of having their colonoscopies. Katie took some of the fear away by taking the mystery out of the test.
