Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 12/17/10

This is the first year that I have completed my holiday shopping completely online – I have not set foot into a store and actually purchased something on my list from said store. What’s more, I cranked out my shopping in about 40 minutes – 25% of which was me screwing around looking at things
