   	I hope everyone had a contented Thanksgiving and day after   
   and found little reason to shove their cars over a cliff.  While   
   casting about for news on Google News I found nothing noteworthy   
   except that after entering a search for ``conan o'brien'' all of   
   the news snippets I got returned a segment in all lowercase.  While   
   I do abhor poor capitalization in things to be read by humans, it's   
   seemed acceptable to me to use all-lowercase in a system like the   
   Google News search panel where case is irrelevant and no human will   
   read the results (past those trawling for statistical significance,   
   whose data we should garble when we can).  I went back and re-entered   
   the search with ``Conan O'Brien'' and still got everything in   
   minuscule.   
      
   	In any case, the most interesting thing I found was some web   
   forum name of BuddyTV holding a contest wherein the person who, by   
   the 27th of November, submits the best glimpse into ``what you would   
   like to see happen in the year 2000'' will win a couple prizes, to   
   wit:   
   	- 'Phenomenon' poster signed by Uri Gellar and Criss Angel   
   	- Conan O'Brien 10th Anniversary DVD   
   	- Conan O'Brien t-shirt   
   	- Jim Gaffigan: Beyond the Pale   
      
   	I'm not sure what I do foresee happening by the year 2000,   
   but I'm sure with effort we could come up with something.
