    Track Santa's Path With Technology

    Vonage Web phone users can call for progress; NORAD activates its Santa radar.

    Robert McMillan, IDG News Service
    Friday, December 23, 2005

    For little ones who simply have to know what Saint Nick is up to, electronic gadgets offer easy access to a peek at the red-suited one's whereabouts. This year, Web phone service Vonage joins online resources that follow the path of Santa as Christmas nears.

    Speed-Dial for Santa

    Vonage has launched a free Santa Claus tracking service that can be used by its Internet telephony subscribers. Beginning Friday, Vonage customers--or their children--can get updates as to Santa's whereabouts by pressing *101 from any Vonage line.

    As of Friday morning, Santa was preparing for the big trip, said Mitchell Slepian, a Vonage spokesperson. "They're loading the sled up and the reindeer are being fed with reindeer food," he said. "They're going to be going all over the world."

    Over the past week, about 100,000 children have used Vonage to call Santa and leave messages on the same *101 line, Slepian said. Ten of those children, drawn at random, are actually going to get their Christmas wishes, compliments of the Internet telephone company, she said.

    That's a respectable number of messages, given that Vonage has around 1 million subscribers in the U.S., Canada and the U.K., according to the company. The service is available to customers in the U.S. and Canada, Slepian said.

    Alternate Track

    For those still on the public switched telephone network, there's always the venerable Santa tracker

    http://www.noradsanta.org/en/default.php

    supplied by North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), which has now been in operation for 50 Christmases.

    NORAD's Santa-tracking services have been available online for several years.

    http://pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,113903,00.asp

    It was originally a telephone service, since the military department that watches the skies seemed a logical place to get information on Santa's progress.

    Volunteers will answer calls about Santa's whereabouts from 9 a.m. GMT December. 24 to 9 a.m. GMT December 25 at 1-877-446-6723, which is a toll-free call in the United States.

    Other holiday resources are also available online.

    Well, Christmas sure seems to come earlier and earlier each and every year! I walked into a K-Fart about two weeks ago and the Christmas stuff was everywhere. I don't think I've ever seen so much of it nor do I think I've ever seen it so damned soon; that had to be the first week of October! Then, a couple of nights ago, I was looking out my living room window and the apartment building next to mine must have had six or seven apartments already all decorated. It seems a lot of people get burnt out with Christmas really soon; it's got to be because, in an effort to make more money, retailers start sooner and sooner.

    And now, a brief little story about Gerry1's seriously cheap Dad. Way back before the flood, Gerry1 was a boy scout and to make money, we'd sell christmas trees every year. Some trees were absolutely beautiful and we'd price them according to size and fullness but this was before the advent (yuk-yuk) of manipulating the gene pool so, like their human counterparts, christmas trees ran the lot ... full and beautiful trees to the scrawny ugly things. We would seperate the absolute worst of them and sell them for a buck...people would chop off the branches to make wreathes and other decorations. Dad would wait until three or four days before Christmas when the $1.00 nasty crooked sparse and ugly trees got reduced to fifty cents. He would buy four or five of them, choose the straightest, drill holes and insert the branches from the other trees. In short, he made them look like the fullest and most expensive trees. They were beautiful and you couldn't tell them apart once decorated. The trick to it was to put it up a couple of days before and take it down a day or two later. That's about how long it took for the tree to turn this copper color and for all the needles to fall off.

    Damn, not bad at all! This discussion seems a bit mercinary though but I won't get on the soap box as I'm sure I was the same way; just human nature methinks.

    i luv being at my step-great grandparents house around christmas time because my step great grandfather always puts on his santa suit. He is really a spitting image of saint nick he has a real long white beardm, with glasses, and the santa type of body, it is so cute watching all the younger kids in my family think he is really santa claus.
