Stuff I Learned - 20 Dec 2012

I've taken a little bit of a break the last few days - after the incident in Connecticut, I needed a few days off from all the media that was flowing through the internet, cable, radio, and the like.  I've been picking up stuff nevertheless, and here are a few things that I was able to pick up during that time...

Go out and make it a great day!
