1.	Call for Creepy Santas. My friend Kirsten Anderson (who owns the far out Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle) is publishing a photography book of bad, drunk, deranged, drug-addled, criminal, and slovenly Santas. If you want to contribute a photo read on: Here Comes Santa Claus! - Ignition Books Fall 2004 While sorting through old photographs at my motherâ��s house one Christmas, I came across a photograph that was to haunt me for years. It was a photo taken at a mall of my brother Michael sitting on the lap of Santa Claus. Innocent enough- loads of people have pictures of themselves or thier children sitting on Santaâ��s lap...itâ��s a tradition to see Santa every year, tell him what youâ��d like for Christmas,and get a candy cane. What struck a chord with me about this picture was the Santa himself. Slouched into the chair, one arm clumsily draped around my brother, much in the same way barflys casually hug thier fellow brethren before falling to the floor in a stupor. I looked closer...thick black body hair sprouted from every opening of the ill fitting Santa suit, the too-short trouses- revealing fish white, strangely pocked legs. This Santa boasted one enormous black eyebrow, an 5â��oclock shadow (needless the say the beard was falling off) and the dull gleam of narcotics in the one eye that wasnâ��t drooping and looking far past the camera. This was GREAT! I then turned my attention to my brother who I now realised was not merely smiling on command for the camera but rather was grimacing, rigid in fear on his hobo Santaâ��s lap, fists clenched, eyes silently pleading. Oh how I laughed. After I finished enjoying my brotherâ��s pain, I started thinking about the whole Santa Claus phenomenon...every mall has a Santa come Christmas-time, and letâ��s face it- most of those Santaâ��s ainâ��t â�� Miracle on 42â��d Streetâ�� quality. I figured there were probably tons of these photos floating around, kids horrified by thier low rent Santa and being scolded if they didnâ��t â��Smile, dammitâ�� for the capture of a warm holiday memory. I began to ask around if anyone else had horrible Santa pics, and indeed, a small flood came in...drunk Santas, passed out Santas, creepy Santas. I decided to make a book and share the wealth. Of course, the more the merrier so I am ever on the lookout for Santa pics for inclusion in the book. Iâ��m hoping to get as many as I can so I can pick the choicest, the most god awful,and the funniest Santas with terrified children for the project. People can mail or email me photos that theyâ��d like to submit. In return, peopleâ��s whose pictures I include in the book will get thier name in the book (unless the shame requires anonymity) and a free copy of the book. These pictures would only be used for this book and any promotional press associated with it. I will return all hard copies (photos, discs, ect). Contracts will be required for publication. Interested person can mail photos or 300dpi scans of thier drunken, flea ridden, pervy, waxy complexioned Santas to me at: Kirsten Anderson Ignition Publishing 4015 Airport Way S Seattle WA 98121 (206)374-8977 or email questions or 300 dpi jpegs to me at : kirsten@ignitionpublishing.com

2.	How to change phone-carriers. As of today, you can take you phone number with you when you change mobile carriers. There's a good set of tips for potential switchers: * Go to company/ carrier stores for switching. Trust me when I say that the guys at RadioShack, Best Buy and Staples are morons who donâ��t know anything about switching right now. * Adventis folks advise that if you are a user of data services, check with your new service provider regarding the availability of services that you have become accustomed to. Functionality and availability of data services, as well as the customer experience itself (e.g., transfer rates) varies considerably from carrier to carrier. * Back-up your cell-phone contact list data to your computer by using a data sync cable or bluetooth connections otherwise you will spend an entire weekend punching in phone numbers.

3.	Autistic savants. Steve Silberman, who wrote a brilliant piece on geeks and autism in Wired a couple years back, has a great long feature in the current issue about autistic "savants" -- people who have an insitnctive, brilliant grasp of some abstruse task, such as music or math. There's some very good stuff about this in Sacks's The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat, particularily when he discusses very "low-functioning" people who have an intuitive understanding of music and numbers that is almost spiritual in nature. When Matt was 6, he confided to his mother, "My mind is made of math problems." Diane started buying him math workbooks for kids twice his age. He zipped through them so quickly, she learned to hide a few in a drawer so he'd have something to work on the following day. Then one night, Diane and Larry heard a melody coming from downstairs. It was their son, playing "London Bridge" on a toy keyboard. Diane brought Matt into the family room and introduced him to the middle C on the piano. Within a day, he was devouring music books as hungrily as he had math books. Matt took classical lessons for a year, then Diane enrolled him in the jazz program at the New England Conservatory of Music. Upon meeting his first jazz instructor there, a bearish Israeli whose last name is Katsenelenbogen, Matt cried out, "Six syllables!" Link
