There's no need to travel all over town to find holiday gifts in a hurry. The Last-Minute Gift Guide is your key to walkable, stress-free shopping.
NEWS/OPINION
PC Magazine says New Mexico has the slowest Internet in the country. The Huffington Post is worth more than many newspaper companies. And three years after returning from Iraq, Army officer Alex E. Limkin still struggles to cope with the memories of combat.
MUSIC

FOOD
The Pueblo Harvest Café and Bakery specializes in Native American dishes with a continental twist. And for the love of God, don't cook with beer or wine you wouldn't enjoy drinking.
FILM & TV
The Edge of Heaven is a hyperlink drama that's doggedly undramatic. And is it time to give up on "Heroes"?

Webgame Wednesday: Candy Box

 
 

Candy Box is causing an interweb stir for its old (old) school look and unusual game play. Surf on over to the game's homepage and you'll be greeted with information on your mounting candy supply. You can click a button to eat all the candies if you want, but that appears to be your only method of interaction with the game. What gives? Have a little patience, my friend. Leave your browser open, let those candies accumulate, and the game's possibilities will open up for you. Soon you'll be harvesting lollipops, buying weapons and fighting monsters. This oddball, text-only (with occasional ASCII art) adventure/resource management game grows bigger and bigger the longer you play. Plus it really makes you want some candy.

    The Daily Word in clueless celebrities, incarcerated muppets and the fate of Jimmy Hoffa

    The Daily Word

    According to the EPA, tailings from abandoned uranium mines have left nearby residents in Grants and Milan exposed to harmful levels of airborne radiation.

    In related news, Mt. Taylor may soon be home to the world's largest uranium mine, bringing much needed revenue to the state. And also probably cancer.

    Just because they show up armed with semiautomatic weapons, a "fleet" of cop cars and an Army helicopter doesn't mean you have to let them in.

    Harsh three-strikes laws now extended to muppets.

    Serena Williams offers her opinion on the Steubenville rape survivor and also reminds everyone that you can be both good at tennis and a clueless moron who probably shouldn't offer her opinion on the Steubenville rape survivor.

    This just in: Jimmy Hoffa is still missing.
