Any_key_3Happy monday from the doughnut stuffed reboot.

  • You, me, we are Time magazine's Person of the Year. It seems that our contribution to the web trend of “user-generated” content is more significant than Iranian nuclear weapons, delusional North Korean dictators and a host of other seemingly more important people. But then again, when the bombs start flying, it will be nice to have a decent collection of break dancing videos to watch while eating spaghettios and waiting out the U238 half life.
  • The Wall Street Journal will launch an online stock tracking feature next month. The online content is part of the WSJ's recent downsizing move. From what I can tell the new stock tracker will be free, though WSJ subscribers will access get additional content.
  • MySpace Mobile will go live today. The service, which partners MySpace with Cingular, allows subscribers to post photos, blog entries and comments to their MySpace pages for $2.99 a month.
  • It's about time Santa got some geo tracking tech in that sleigh. With that in mind Google Earth is offering a Santa Tracker overlay. From the Google Earth homepage: “Every day from December 12th until Christmas Eve, a clue will appear outside Santa's North Pole workshop which, if you can solve it, will lead you to a toy hidden in a Google Earth satellite image. And every day, the location of the previous day's toy will be revealed.”
