Only 312 shopping days left until Christmas. The new Nintendo Wii was one of the hot console commodities this last season – and it's still not in stock with regularity everywhere. The Wii has been modded, recalled, and turned into a new weight loss craze since the release late last year. The folks at FindNearby.net are helping you find what you're looking for with great immediacy. They're running the basic site that will map out where you can find a certain item for sale on amazon, ebay, craigslist, and local retailers like best buy, circuit city, wal-mart and target who have the item in stock. They've got a couple of special searches that will give you radius rings around your location showing you all the points inside the given area. The search defaults to Boston, which is somewhat helpful here. To find the nearest Wii console browse over to wii.findnearby.net and pump up the power of the Wii seeker. They've got a special search for the PS3 as well. Either search is perhaps the best way we've found to find something when you really need it right now.

Once upon a time in a land far, far…oh. No. It was Brockton. Back in 1890 James Edgar of Edgar's Department Store in Brockton sported a white beard and a belly laugh, he suited up as Santa Claus for an appearance in his Brockton Store. It wasn't Macy's, it wasn't Coke, it was a store in "The City of Champions" where the department store Santa was born. In the interest of full disclosure it appears that a Kris Kringle character did make an appearance in a Philadelphia store in 1841 – but Edgar's really marked the birth of the department store Santa. Kids growing up today know more of the "mall" Santa. He checks his list and listens to children's wishes from that coveted spot in the middle of the food court or a Santa's village placed in the crossroads of all the anchor stores of the mall (maybe where the Easter Bunny lives in the spring).
