David Tennant lands starring role in NBC legal pilot: "Rex is Not Your Lawyer."
And Chicagoistas: it's set in Chicago and is described as a comedic legal drama.
It's the time of year again for the Secret Santa Exchange!
Anyone interested in exchanging small presents with other Buffistas during the holiday season, email me at my profile address with your Buffista name, full name and a snail-mail location to which people can send your loot. I will match up givers & giftees, and let you know who is whose.
Please try to email me by November 20. I'll match names and send out notices by November 22, to allow for lots of present buying/making and mailing time.
By the way, so that no giftee stay hanging giftless, it was suggested to have a gifts deadline: the gifts should be sent by March 2010. I hope this doesn't prevent anyone from participating, but rather encourages them.
Your truly,
Tiny Jewish not-Santa
P.S. If there is anybody who is still giftless from the former exchange, could you please let me know, so that I can see what I can do about it? Thanks!
My co-worker has written/drawn his own comic book, and today is the release day. Check it out here: Fyre Dragon.

Lightbulbs is open with a proposal from PixKristin:
To set a closing deadline of March 31st for the Goodbye and Good Riddance Thread (I think the actual date is good thing to debate in Lightbulbs), with the caveat that any ungifted Santa or Slacker Santa giftees at that point will have the option to throw their names back into the pool to be gifted by other volunteers (with the wonderful, "shit happens, no hard feelings" attitude Vortex and others demonstrated in B'craxy). This would be a way for people who found themselves unable to gift for one reason or another to bow out gracefully and for everyone to get closure on the year without the thread going on for months.

Because not everyone reads the technology thread, but a lot of the Buffistas travel for the holidays:

itwbennett writes "Google is giving you something to be thankful for as you travel this holiday season. The company announced today that it is offering free Wi-Fi at 47 airports across the US between now and January 15. If you haven't booked your flights yet, you want to factor this into your plans. Here's a list of the 47 airports, which cover about 35% of all US passengers, according to Google. The Burbank and Seattle airports will continue to offer the free Google Wi-Fi indefinitely."
