We had our company Christmas party last night. The boss-man shut down the office about two o’clock and we all headed over to Dave and Buster’s for drinks, food, drinks, game play, drinks, gifts, drinks and competitive, in-your-face, ass-kickin’ teambuilding. My team decided on Hawaiian shirts and Santa hats – The Don Ho Ho Ho’s. Long story short, we won!
During the secret Santa gift exchange I scored an iTunes gift card. Additionally, everyone received a company embroidered fleece and cash (we now look like a cult) and I won enough tickets playing trivia to redeem it in the ‘Cheap Plastic Crap Store.’ I opted for the vodka glasses. All in all a very good time.
In the immortal words of Tiny Tim, “God bless us, everyone and tiptoe through the tulips!”Above: The winning team!

I love my Canon SD500 Digital Elph camera. I have had it five months. I have taken hundreds of photos with it. It is small. It is compact. It is packed chock-full of features. It is broken. Sigh. Saturday found me on my way out of the house, arms full of assorted crap. I had the camera in its cozy leather case and had the cord over my fingers. Or so I thought. Somewhere along the way the cord found its freedom. Mere moments later we did a little experiment in Newton’s Second Law of Universal Gravitation…the Earth exerts a force on the object. There was an acceleration of said camera to the Earth. Then Wham! Law Three…the object exerted a force upon the Earth.
Have you ever heard a small LCD screen break? It is a sickening sound. I didn’t see it break. More of a dark revelation that is just known. After many expletives that would make a sailor or Tourettes patient proud, I slid the camera from its then leather coffin and powered it on. Comes on….good news. White screen with black spider webs forming from one corner, outward…bad news. It still takes great photos, even though I cannot see them until they are downloaded to the PC.
I love my new Canon SD550 Digital Elph camera. I have had it two days.
