by

Hey Miss Teen Carolina, no worries about your geography skills or lack thereof, it seems Canadians (who typically consider themselves quite “World” savvy) are struggling to locate places on the map as well. This out of the Star… A survey by the Canadian Geographical Society concluded: A third of all adult Canadians are “geographically illiterate.” Among “young adults,” it’s even worse. Sixty per cent couldn’t locate Egypt, and almost half shrug their shoulders and smile weakly when asked where Taiwan is.Read on and test your skills with these 50 questions… good luck!

Believe again!! NORAD Santa prepares to Track Santa on Christmas Eve – mobile app too!

by

Growing up as a “military brat” I have many memories of my Dad discussing how the team at NORAD would be tracking Santa on his journey on Christmas Eve. For about the past 10 years I’ve also been reminding readers of the blogs and publications that I’ve managed (and my kids too) about this fabulous resource made available from the team at NORAD – NORAD Santa.

For mobile fans, this year the team has leveraged some of the google tools to make tracking Santa possible via your mobile along with google Maps Mobile… according to this post, simply search for “norad santa” to see Santa’s location using the mobile app… nice! Someone up there is looking out for me with these gifts…

If you have an iPhone, TDroid,  Blackberry Windows Mobile, or Nokia phone with Google Maps, just search for “norad santa” to see Santa’s location. See more info HERE – See more about NORAD Santa tracker in this article from a couple of years
