Boredom Busters for 12.20.06:
1. Watch 101 Classic Christmas videos online. Includes the real “The Year Without a Santa Claus” (it’s listed under “Stop-Motion Animation (Claymation)”)
2. Wonder at this absolutely ridiculous animated short, simply titled “Charlie.” Seriously, you have to see this.
3. Laugh at this “Humping Dog USB Drive,” which is actually pretty funny. [via Gizmodo]
4. Watch this 10 minute version of A Charlie Brown Christmas dubbed with dialog from Scrubs. [via PW]
5. Listen to this edition of The Onion Radio News: “Area Hunter Only Does It For The Jerky“
6. Download/Install the free Foxit Reader (Windows and Linux). I’ve seen this alternative to Adobe Reader mentioned a few times before, and I’ve even used it from a thumb drive a couple of times, but today was the first time I’ve noticed how much faster it is in comparison (to Adobe Reader 7.0). The PDFs open (almost) instantly. I’ll never use Adobe’s bloated product again.
7. Watch this clip of a trailer for Seinfeld recut as a horror movie.
8. Read through these “Science Fictions” from this month’s WIRED magazine. Very interesting.
9. Send everyone you know a holiday greeting from Alec Baldwin. This is a lot like the Snakes on a Plane promotional tool that I had a little too much fun with earlier this year.
10. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out this sneak preview for Lost. [via PW]
11. Not getting anything fun this holiday season? Maybe you should be thankful you’re not receiving one of the “10 most dangerous playthings of all time.”
