Ah technology. Panoramic QuicktimeVR of Spongebob at the annual Macy’s parade (via BoingBoing). This is a welcome way to experience Spongebob Squarepants in all his 3-story-tall glory!

We contributed our turkey (recipe follows), two types of cranberry sauce, whole wheat & chestnut stuffing, and my Alsatian Turkey Gravy. Yum!
