Happy New Gears everyone! And to all a good night.

While I don’t recommend heading to the mall today, if you happen to find yourself there and need a last-minute gift for that wine-lover in your life, check out these glasses at Sur La Table.

Happy holidays everyone! When the ball drops this year in New York City, remember that it is bicycle powered:

The ritual dropping of the ball in New York’s Times Square on New Year’s eve, seen on television by millions around the world, is becoming a bit greener than in years past.

The 2-0-0-9 sign that will light up when the New Year’s ball finishes its descent will be powered by batteries charged by people pedaling on bicycles.

Let’s hope the whole event this year will be powered by bikes (so far they’ve collected 35% of the necessary power).

On the cover of the New Yorker for Dec 15th, Santa Claus apparently had to let some workers go. Here he is taking a pedicab to deliver presents. Click on the image to see a larger view. In good times and in bad people ride bikes.
