Tracking Santa

Google Earth helps track Santa's moves

by: Krista Swanson

You better watch out, you better not cry …. SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN!

It’s here! It’s finally here! Santa is coming, and if you want to know exactly where he is on Christmas Eve, NORAD has the tool for you.

For more than 50 years, NORAD and its predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) have tracked Santa’s flight using sophisticated radar, satellites, Santa Cams and fighter jets.

Electronic Messages from Santa

Make Christmas A Bit More Magical

by: Krista Swanson

One of my favourite Christmas memories as a kid was writing to Santa. I would drop my letter in the mailbag at our Christmas parade, and check the mailbox every day waiting for him to write me back. On the day his letter arrived I felt so incredibly special, and I knew Santa was real.

The Face, The Voice, The Blog!

Krista Swanson remembers a few things about high school: falling flat on her face during a recreational volleyball game, learning to type on an electric typewriter, and being told that a woman could never make it in technology.

Fast forward a few years, and you may have seen her around town balancing a BlackBerry in one hand and an iPad in the other.  Although she's no longer playing volleyball (she switched to running), she has learned how to program computer software, and become a kick-ass IT project manager. She's married to another techie who understands her addiction to Twitter a proud Mom to a geekling who can use an iPad with his eyes closed.

So whether it's an educational app recommendation to keep the kids busy on a rainy day, a review of the latest parenting gadget, or confirmation that your partner isn't crazy for wanting to buy that 110 inch projector screen for the basement, you'll find it all here.
