With Christmas parties and much merriment to be be enjoyed, you might like to see how to dance to songs from the past 30 years. This guy shows you the moves. I can’t wait for MC Hammer to come on…

Google’s changing logo

Personally I like Google. Their approach to business and clever, useful (and free) tools are a refreshing change. One of the things that makes me like them even more is their use of the logo. No overly draconian rules on what can and cannot be done with the logo, when there’s a special event, or holiday, their logo changes.

Dilbert Logo:

MC Escher’s Birthday:

Can you guess who’s birthday this one is for?

You can find the answer, and all of Google’s logos here.

Song of the Day - Desperately Wanting by Better Than Ezra

Not much to say about these guys, a great band and a great track.

Better Than Ezra is an alternative rock trio based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Formed in 1988, the band has released five studio albums and one live album. They are best known in the United States for their platinum album Deluxe and their top 40 hit “Good”. Their peak of popularity was in the early 1990s, but the band is still popular on American adult album alternative radio stations.

For more info, head to the Better Than Ezra website.
