I guess the first thing I should say here is Merry Christmas. I have not had my visit from Santa Clause yet, so we will have to wait until later for that. Today I am visiting my father after church and having christmas lunch with him. Then I am having dinner with my brother and mother. And the plan for tomorrow is to visit some friends for Boxing Day. And sometime in the next week I need to visit my grandmother at her nursing home too… I am not sure who will be at my fathers – I am hoping that some cousins and other relatives will be there too…

I am just updating my iPod with a smart playlist with all the christmas songs I have on it… That will be good for driving over to dads, extending the christmas spirit… I just did a search of all the songs containing the word christmas in the title or the album and made an auto-playlist. I might add more songs later if I can find more, but that will be a good start.

The SMH has a story on the Scientific Discoveries of the last year. I had missed most of them, but although they were important, they were not all that much of interest to me. Nasa has been testing a new meteor detection telescope for the moon and managed to detect a metior hitting the moon on its first day out. Not a bad trial… It hit the moon with the force of about 70kg of TNT. They think it left a crater about 3m wide and 40cm deep, with the metior being about 12Kg.
