The Case of the Canine CrunchChristmas got a special early start last night when the missus and I went over to her mothers for a pre-Christmas dinner and gift exchange. As always, I was greeted by their micro dog Miles (named after some Jazz guy or something), who loves me very much and shows his …
On the 12th day of Christmas…Apple gave to me…hilarious Will Farrell Santa switch ads. And Tony Hawk gives his laser signature to a custom ipod. Now that would actually be cool if it was filled with all the mp3s that T. Hawk was listening to these days. Someday, I hope they have an ipod that …

My images will be specifically for the display of happy hour drinks on those little flip-book table stands that sit nestled in with …
