I caught back up with all of the episodes of Geek Brief.tv. I had been so behind. One fun thing that Cali Lewis has done is created a site called iYule where you can buy and download a beautiful crackling fireplace.

There are quite a few versions of the iYule Log.
iYule Log for standard players
iYule Log for widescreen players
Now you might be asking yourself, why sell a 30 minute podcast of a crackling fireplace and beautiful music? Well for one thing there are plenty of DVD’s and VHS tapes out there that you can use to watch a fireplace on your TV. So now with people having many different portable media players why not have a fireplace for those as well. A crackling fireplace invokes a feeling of home so why not have that feeling with you everywhere.
This project is a collaboration between Cali Lewis and her husband Neal, Geoff Smith, and Paul Colligan, they are donating money from a portion of the proceeds of sales of the iYule Log to three charities. They are some pretty cool ones too. Geoff chose the Songs of Love Foundation, a charity that provides personalized songs for chronically and terminally ill children and young adults. Paul chose LitLiberation, the largest online literacy experiment in history. Neal and Cali chose Heifer International, a non-profit that helps families in poverty by giving them valuable live animals to provide eggs, milk and farming help.
I think these are great charities and will be buying my own version of the iYule Log for my iPod.
Update: 120707 – I am home from my trip and have just purchased and downloaded the iYule Log for standard players. It can play on both my iPod and my Zune.

Oh, I can easily see why anyone would buy such a thing! When I was a rugrat, growing up in NYC, they had the annual Yule Log on TV, on WPIX, channel 11, on Christmas Eve.
It was wicked cool to watch every year, even though my father refused to spring for a color TV.
Now, I still don’t have my own fireplace, but I love candles and fires and all. I could see buying a fireplace whosit to use on my computer and iPod.
We have a fireplace in my parent’s house and it is great to have Christmas by the fireside. Having that growing up was so great.
That’s awesome. I just found out about Cali Lewis and I love her show. I might have to buy one of these for my iphone.
Oh yeah Cali is awesome. I’m sure if you talk to Ashley he will tell you all about how awesome she is. Enjoy your fireplace for your iphone.
