I suppose that with more important things going on in the world, my SF Babe and Aircraft Cheesecake postings might seem at worst, insensitive; at best, frivolous.

I have not really been plugged into many media as I have been enjoying time off with my family during the holidays. I have tried to post an item at least every other day, and these regular features write themselves, although each one reflects at least 30 minutes of work finding the right pictures and links. So, long story short, if you want the best links to these current stories, go to the main news sites like CNN and Fox, then surf through the blogosphere, where you'll find the latest at Instapundit and the Command Post.

I am gratified that several people still drop by every day, so I must be doing something right. I do hope to add a few more regular features that will keep me posting on a regular basis in the new year without burning out.

1 Personally, I need a break sometimes, especially in the middle of reporting a disaster like the Indian Ocean Tsunami. Your site provides a valuable service, please continue.

2 Alan, Thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad to see that your post "Save Them All And Let God Sort Them Out" got a well-deserved Instalanche. Keep up the good work on your end of the globe.

3 Dude, you can't slow down. How are you going to hit superstar levels of fame unless you're posting twice as often as Instapundit? I guess you could quit your day job and start a band.

4 You post, we read. That was in this oral contract I signed. Besides, where else can we get Babes, Aircraft, and random SF tidbits?

5 I look forward to whatever you post, whenever you post it...your schedule, not ours. [Oh, no, now I can't get that Billy Joel song out of my head ("Don't go changin'...").] Dare I hold out hope for a Dr. Who edition of the SFBabe poll? Cheers and Happy New Year!

6 Even though I wasn't fishing for the compliments, I really appreciate them. Thanks for finding something of value here. Chan, Doctor Who is a great idea, but I'm afraid it would be no contest, with Leela the Barbarian the likely winner.

7 I'll second (third? fourth?) the comments above. And Chan is on to something with a Doctor Who contest. There may be grounds here for yet another one of our babe disagreements. Happy New Year and best wishes for 2005. Keep up the great work.

My first ever posting of the contents of my referrer logs: the last ten Google searches that led to a site visit here:

rush intermission video
battlestar galactica babes

Michelle B
plastic surgery horrors

Rush, babes, Battlestar Galactica, the Michelle B (an X-prize entrant) -- yeah, that's a pretty fair sampling of my site content...

More from Ted:

"It's not a fetish if 100 percent of men like it - it's a law of nature."

Sounds right to me.

Comrade Rob!

Do not subject rug rats to Disney Kingdom of Kapitalist Kitsch, take them to real khorosho People's Park! Learn glorious peoples' history of Uncle Joe! Admire gardens of party-approved workers' art!

Arise ye butcher from your slumber!

(Apologies to Kommissar for nationalizing his schtick).

The Country Pundit provides an interesting history of the Virginian Railway.

I only have so much time to become consumed with a hobby, and SF, music, gaming, writing, and the Internet already completely consume my non-committed free time. But if I could score some Provigil and take on an extra hobby, it would be trains.
