NORAD Tracks Santa 2015

Norad Tracks Santa 60 yrs

It’s that time again, which means the North American Aerospace Defense Command is preparing for its most important job…tracking Santa Claus. Yes, ever since kids heard about NORAD they’ve been bugging them to keep an eye on Santa Claus and out of the goodness of their hearts (with little taxpayer money I think), they’ve helped warn kids when they need to get into bed because Jolly Old St. Nick is coming. This year they have the usual music, games, videos, and more. They no longer team with Google Earth, but there is a app for Windows Mobile, I-Device, and Android (my tablet may not be able to hold a new app because I have all the important ones for remote operations, but there’s always the website via browser–and mine came with three of them for some reason), so you can watch him from whatever relative’s house you’re visiting on Christmas Eve. So go check them out already!

BW’s Christmas Spotlight Request 2015

I’m going to make a Christmas Spotlight logo before this week is out or at least try. In the meantime…

Life Of Christ Christmas

Every year BW Media Spotlight tries to give time over to Christmas. I love Christmas. I love the fun, the festivity, the decorations, the music, the spirituality, and I want to share that with the masses, hopefully by finding something they’ve never seen before like a new cover to a classic song or just something fun and uplifting. And as every year, I ask those very masses (that’s you guys) for help making it great and giving me time to work on the Christmas Eve video and Christmas Day comic.

Morning Article Link: How To Train Your Comic Book

How to Train Your Dragon: Music from the Motio...

I haven’t had the chance to get into How To Train Your Dragon but internet review colleagues have gushed over it. It’s been a month since I’ve done a Morning Article Link so for you fans out there, CBR TV talks to the writers of the movie and Cartoon Network/Netflix series (loosely based on a book about dragon fighters learning to work WITH dragons to better both species) about the next film and the upcoming original graphic novels, because somebody remembered graphic novels aren’t just for trade collections.
