Santa's Self-Driving Sleigh




How soon until Santa joins adapts to the changes in technology?

In fact, with GPS, drone carrying capacity and computer coordination, Santa would have no problems meeting his 24-hour delivery deadline.

Take it another step further - By using drones, Internet use scanning technology and a whole bunch of money, a person could really become a Santa. Here's how:

  1. Track the preferences of every person who uses the Internet and use that to compile your naughty and good lists;
  2. Use cookies to determine what every person on the good list wants. Your phone app then purchases the Christmas gifts and has them delivered to your staging area.
  3. Get a world-record number of drones to make the deliveries and launch them all in stages on Christmas Eve to coordinate with the time zones across the planet and deliver coal to the naughty list members and the presents to the good list.
  4. Then wait for the complaints to tweet in - you've overstepped your authority as a human being; you've invaded everybody's privacy; you got the wrong gift; etc.
The joys of being a "real Santa" in the modern era.

New Pictures of Pluto, Charon and Hydra Beemed Back By New Horizons' Computers

 

The offices of NASA is all aTwitter,

Because their probe showed more than glitter.


It seems New Horizons was the little craft that could;

And the high quality pictures sure looked good.


Now maybe arguments'll end, and feelings won't be so sore;

Because Pluto will be the most popular planet once more.

The President Is All Ears

The Barack Obama was elected president, American commedians said there was nothing about the new president that was funny. Well, maybe only his ears. Obama himself said he "is all ears." Little did we know. People said they wanted a president that would listen to them, and now we have one.

Perhaps Ernest Hemingway set the theme when he said, "I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully."
