Merry Christmas!

By the time anyone gets to reading this, you probably won't care... But perhaps someone will read this in a year and enjoy the screenshots of Google's and NORAD's satellites following the big man across the world. Perhaps.

Here he is, as viewed through the Google Earth application (with an extension from noradsanta.org):


Man, what a great guy. He was just in the Toronto area about ten minutes ago, so I snuffed out the fireplace in preparation for him.

If you don't want to download Google Earth, NORAD had some maps on their site as well:


Seems like the Barenaked Ladies were wrong; Africa seems to have done well this year.
But what's this?!? Oh my gosh!

He practically skipped right over Russia and Mongolia! Those poor people of northern Asia! How could this be?

Let's investigate:


Zooming in between the default points in Google Earth, we can see right inside of Santa's sack... and it appears... Omigosh! It's empty.

Santa's sack is empty.

Well, let's face it... If he ran out of gifts and had to pick between Russia and Africa, the African's are probably more needy.

UPDATE:
So, Santa was just here. He just popped in to say "hi", since his sack was empty by this point...

And he said he did do it for the Barenaked Ladies. I probably shouldn't say this, but I guess he felt that he owed a favor to Steven Page... For taking the fall while Santa was into the snow.
