It may be winter, but that doesn’t stop the wackiness over the pond. The Annual Pudding Races are going on this weekend!




Also going on this weekend: The Santa Claus World Championships and the Sphinx Festival.



We’re trying to go with a less material holiday this year, getting together with people rather than giving each other stuff. If you’re trying to do the same, trying the Phone Stack game might be entertaining. If you’re not, stay tuned, because John Scalzi’s doing a holiday shopping guide all next week.
