A new new year’s song: I don’t know about you. I’m tired of there being only one song associated with New Years Eve. It’s not great, but here’s a new one, Next Year Baby, by Jamie Cullum. I give it an 85. It has a good beat and you can dance to it. Happy New Year!

Happy Hogmanay: I don’t know about you, but I think Hogmanay needs to become more commercialized. Perhaps something to do with using gift cards received during the previous year.

It’s a big world, afterall: The U.S. Census Bureau today projected that on Sunday, the nation’s population will be 297,821,175 up 2,713,518 or 0.9 percent from New Year’s Day 2005. In January, the U.S. is expected to register one birth every eight seconds and one death every 12 seconds. Meanwhile, net international migration is expected to add one person every 31 seconds. The result is an increase in the total population of one person every 14 seconds.
