Remember the Secret Santa Exchange?
If not, then this is a reminder: Anyone interested in exchanging small presents with other Buffistas during the holiday season, email me at my profile address with your Buffista name and a snail-mail location to which people can send your loot.
Please try to email me by November 23. I'll match names and send out notices by November 24, to allow for lots of present buying/making and mailing time.
Your truly,
Tiny Jewish not-Santa
All the Buffista Secret Santa notices have now been sent out. If you didn't get one, or if there are any other problems, email me.
P.S. If you wanted to take part and forgot, don't despair! There will be a Slacker Secret Santa exchange, as well, just like in every year. I'll wait to announce it only after Thanksgiving, though, for a true slacker schedule.
NBC January Schedule, highlights:
Friday Night Lights premieres January 16th at 8 Central
Chuck, Heroes and Life won't be back until February.
No Merlin on the schedule.
Not NBC: The Obamas will be interviewed by Barbara Walters at 10/9 Central tonight: Wednesday November 26th.
(Also from the Futon Critic.)
If 10,000 people donate $1, this family can keep their home. She's got over $2000 since Tuesday night. This could work! If everyone does a little, it adds up to a lot.
an update on the above -- success. in 5 days.
I have a post up on the potential for Green Investment in solving global warming and stimulating the economy. Deals a bit with the nuts & bolts of where to spend public money, vs. where to rely on private investment. [link]
Slacker Secret Santa: All of you who want to exchange presents with other Buffistas but haven't mailed me about it yet, this is your chance!
Please send your info (board name and snail-mail address) to my profile address until the 10th of December. By then, I'll match you up to pairs of givers and recipients, and let you know which is who.
Your truly,
Tiny Jewish not-Santa
Hear ye, hear ye!
Seattle F2F 2009 Date Poll Mark 2 is now open for voting. This is a non-binding poll, meant to narrow down dates for F2F 2009 planning. Since Seattle won handily in the previous poll, we're just trying to find dates now. If you have any questions or concerns, please raise them in the F2F thread.
EDIT: Mr. Poll and I, after some discussion, decided to post the correct link. Please go vote in the correct poll: [link]
Note - the original post had a wrong link. This is the new link for the F2F 2009 poll: [link]
See what happens when you (don't) drink and internet?
