Like many of us in WPRB-land, I was deeply saddened today to learn that our friend and colleague George Mahlberg, better known as "Dr. Cosmo," had passed away this weekend.

Today, BoingBoing Gadgets regales us with tales of the Scotch and Sofa, a lounge/bar in Prenzl'berg that features a TV permanently tuned to a Yule Log.
And with that recognition, the year comes full circle. Happy holidays -- seriously, do what you can to enjoy this reflective season even when things are falling apart around us.
