Although decorating the tree for Christmas is festive, I believe making it look like a monster would scar the kids for life…especially in Japan. In 2000, at the Aqua City Odaiba shopping mall, located in Japan, the holiday decorative committee decided to construct a christmas tree in the shape of Godzilla. Not only did they shape it to look like him, but red lights were put in the eyes, and the tree even breathed smoke. I think the only thing that doesn’t make him scary is the little Santa hat on his head.

Tonight’s show is a bit of a deviation from the normal show. We talk about some heady topics, such as Race relations online, we delve into Linux as a tool for educators, and we dig into some really useful utilities that you may want to consider for your PC. Overall I hope this show ends up being very useful to you.

Enjoy the Episode!
