It’s Saturday. I was saddened to hear yesterday that Michael Nesmith had passed away at the age of 78.  Michael was a musician, songwriter, actor, producer, and novelist. But it’s probably safe to say that it was his roll in the TV series, The Monkees, that he was best known. Even though the series only ran from 1966 to 1968, it endeared him and his bandmates to an entire generation. I’m proud to say that I’m a fan of the show as well as the band. Their music and the show will forever put a smile on my face.

Micky Dolenz, the last remaining member of the Monkees released this article on Rolling Stone: Micky Dolenz Remembers Michael Nesmith

Listen to the Band—Written by Michael Nesmith

It’s Friday! Mother Nature can’t seem to make up her mind. We get a few days of frigid weather and then it climbs into the 50s. As it is right now, they’re forecasting 60s by the beginning of next week. And that’s fine by me. Every day of mild weather is one less day of typical miserable winter weather and that’s a win in my book.

In addition to the usual double babes & double jokes is a holiday themed amateur photo for all of you today. Get the wife or girlfriend into her naughty Ms. Claus outfit, snap a few photos, and send ’em in!

Keep, Happy holidays from the Rocky Mountains. My wife has been collecting Santas for her collection for many years. Every time I look at this photo I can’t help but think, “Santa IS watching and man he has a great job!” I thought that some of your readers might enjoy this shot of Mrs. Santa. Hey, thanks for your great site. -Anonymous

 
It’s Thursday. This is the first look at Ameca, an advanced humanoid robot from Engineered Arts.

That’s just great. The robot uprising is coming and we’re all going to die.
