The display features Santa, Jesus and Rudolph, but its not your typical holiday decor.

This reminds me of a holiday display near my office back in 2002. Of course I have a picture. It showed a DUI Santa that crashed into a fence.

SPD Blotter » Burglar got stuck in window

Haha!!

On 12/9/09, at approx. 5:41 p.m., the complainant was working in her office in the 2300 block of  S. Massachusetts St., when she heard a window breaking in the room next to her office. The complainant called 911.  Officers arrived and found the suspect stuck in a window on the north side of the building.  The suspect had dropped his belongings inside the window but could not get further inside or back out of the window.

Why did I put that on my NetFlix Queue?

After waiting for Netflix to add this feature to their site for too long, I stumbled upon this greasemonkey script for FF. With a queue of over 200 movies, I sometimes forget why I put a movie in the queue. So now I can write myself a note “Talked to so-so about post war Europe and the said I should see this movie”.. Who am I kidding? It’s probably going to be more like “Someone said this was a great Zombie film!”

There are disadvantages, the notes are kept in the browsers profile. So no sharing notes on the work computer with the home computer. I only hope that NetFlix adds this feature one day.
