SNL’s Hilarious Holiday Balls Sketch

Back in 1998, Saturday Night Live did a very funny sketch about an NPR radio show where they interviewed a guy named Pete Schweddy from a bakery called Seasons Eatings who makes delicious holiday balls.

Take a look:

The funny stuff doesn’t get going until about 2 minutes into the video so keep watching. :)


 

18 Holiday Songs To Party To

Christmas Tree BalloonEvery artist seems to make a Christmas album, however most seem to record the same old songs the same old way.  Lets face it, there’s only so many times you can hear White Christmas sang the same way.  

Sometimes you want something new, something festive and something to put you in a party mood.  Something to dance to!

I’ve put together a list of some of my fun and/or unique holiday songs that are worth checking out. Maybe you’ll find one or two to add to your collection.

Wall-E with a Candy Cane

Caught WALL-E in the holiday spirit collecting candy canes the other day.  Wouldn’t it be fun to see the little guy with a sugar high?

Tis the Season to be Joll-E

While browsing around Amazon the other day, I saw a great WALL-E ad that featured Wall-E in a Santa hat with some Christmas lights.  So I took a screen shot and made it iPhone/iPod Touch friendly, just for you. :)

Tinseltown Is A Part of Mozilla’s First Fashion Your Firefox

Have you heard about Mozilla’s Fashion Your Firefox? It’s Mozilla’s way of showcasing exceptional Firefox addons and grouping them in a way that makes it easier to find great addons.

Under the Decorator heading are a handful of themes that were picked based on quality and usability. One of those addons is Tinseltown.

I’m honored that Mozilla has chosen one of my themes to showcase. I make themes because I want to and the recognition from Mozilla, along with all the positive feedback, is really appreciated.


 

Happy WALL-E Days – iPhone Wallpaper

In celebration of the release of WALL-E on DVD, and the upcoming Holiday season, I thought I’d share a little WALLE-E fun in the form of an iPhone/iPod Touch wallpaper.

Happy WALL-E Days!

My first LOL cat. Happy Halloween

If you’ve never seen I Can Haz Cheezburger, then you’re missing out.  The site sticks captions on pictures of cats and it’s extremely entertaining.

Since we have two cats, I decided to make my own Halloween LOL cat for all to enjoy!

Evil - No Costume Required v1

Evil - No Costume Required v2

Evil - No Costume Required v2

There are two versions because I didn’t know which picture was better.  I think our cat, Sassy, looks more evil in v1, but v2 is a nicer picture.  Which one do you think?

Either way, Happy Halloween from Thomas & Christi!!


 

Tinseltown For Firefox 3 – Early Release

I’ve had quite a few people wonder where Tinseltown was.  In my mind, Christmas is still a little ways away and it’s easiest to build a Christmas theme when you are in the Christmas mood.  However, I pulled together an early release of Tinseltown for Firefox 3.

What’s an early release?  Well it just means that it’s not completely updated.  I didn’t spend to much time theming all the new elements in Firefox 3.  I just quickly coded them to match with the theme.  There is so much more I want to do, and will do.  But for now, the early release will bring back the familiar Tinseltown look and feel for those that want to get int he holiday spirit now.


 

Add Jack Skellington to Your iPhone

With Halloween coming up, a Nightmare Before Christmas wallpaper for an iPhone or iPod Touch is a must have!  Here is the first one I’ve come up with featuring Jack Skellington himself!

It’s already at the correct iPhone size and the placement of the graphics is optimized for for the iPhone as I left space at the top for the time and date and Jack is nicely centered on the iPhone screen.

Enjoy Nightmare Before Christmas fans!
