I love this time of year for all the “Best of the Year”-type lists that come out. And one of my absolute favourites of these type of lists are the “Top Tech Trends for the Coming Year” ones. For 2012, a writer for Mashable.com is predicting the following as the big trends: Touch Computing Social […]
There’s a whole sub-genre of songs that aren’t technically Christmas songs but get identified as such because they mention winter or snow or even Christmas in passing (Joni Mitchell’s “River” being the most famous example.)
