I should have started a little sooner for my Christmas in Colors because I have run myself out of time. I had a few things picked out for white, yellow and green (both color & mindset) but not enough of any of them yet for their own individual posts. So I made a casserole. Enjoy.…

In human color psychology, red is associated with bravery, purity, happiness, good luck, heat, energy, and blood, and emotions that “stir the blood”, including anger, passion, love, pain, and sacrifice. In Christmas in Colors it just represents more material things you should get your hands on. Previous: Black & Silver
Today’s installment of free Christmas music is themed to the tune of Sufjan Stevens. Pick up his Songs for Christmas boxed set to get all 5 albums worth. I have some more I might add if the response is good. Sufjan Stevens – That Was The Worst Christmas Ever! [audio:http://bit.ly/4DOlUQ] Download: http://bit.ly/4DOlUQ Sufjan Stevens –…
And possibly a little gray. The shiny silver of gadgets to men is the same draw I imagine women have with with diamonds. Can’t. Resist. Urge. To. Buy. If you missed it previously, Christmas in Black

There’s no shortage of “perfect gifts for 2009” around but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to throw my own two cents in the ring. To throw a spin on it, I’ve decided to organize my lists by color. I’m guessing most of it will end up being geared towards men and almost all of it…
In terms of posts, this is the third. In terms of songs posted, this is the fourth. Paying attention? One of my favorites over the last couple of years, an all-Canadian line-up.

One day in and I’ve already had some great submissions to the show. Still time left to get your favorites sent in. The more the merrier. Today’s track comes courtesy of my Kansas City dotcomrade Eric Hurst (web | twitter). The man knows his way around some Rails code and has recently launched himself into…
Two years ago yesterday I posted the speech Jim Valvano gave at the 1993 ESPY awards after receiving the innaugural Arthur Ashe Courage Award. His body gave into the cancer that had consumed it just a couple of months after giving the speech. I encourage you, just as I did two years ago, to take…
Editor’s note: I did this on another one of my sites last year and it was pretty popular so I thought I’d give it a go here. I have a decent collection of Christmas music. It’s not huge but I have accumulated some quality tracks here and there over time. Of course I dig the…
Idea stolen from @blankenship. In no particular order, the things I am thankful for this year: my wife, my kid, my second kid, family, toggl, eating out, cookie monster diapers, muxtapes, station wagons, iChat, Pei Wei, WordPress, friends, Adobe, Twitter, the enjoyment on Cohen’s face when reading books, presentation inspiration, Gotham Bold, our yellow house…
I could potentially rename my blog to the Christoph-Niemann-official-reblog and it still wouldn’t bother me. He continuously posts some of the best (and cleanest) stuff on the web. I think I understand why he so rarely posts, genius like this takes time to grow. Bio Diversity – Abstract City (NYTimes)
Man, this slideshow of Phoot Camp really makes me want to get a real camera and take up photography. Some incredible work in there. Worth the five minutes of your time if you care about decent photography at all. http://phootcamp.com/portfolios/7461-the-story-of-phoot-camp (via airbagindustries)

Sequels and threequels aren’t usually my thing, but they usually don’t bring back the entire cast from the first two. Woody and Buzz are getting the band back together for a reunion tour starting June 18, 2010. Trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/toystory3/

Illustrator Patrick Moberg built a workout plan tailored to his Internet usage. Although I may change one or two of the sites out, I could see this being a benefit. “In Essence: burn some fat, not yo’ brain” The New (Media) Workout Plan
