Video: The most epic Christmas yule logs of all time

Drama. Suspense. FIRE.

It's the Netflix Yule Log:



Very sassy, Netflix. I like it. Hulu for the Holidays and Amazon Instant Video both have their versions, but neither give you the same sense of danger and adventure.

If you're ready to make a nice cup of cocoa and hibernate for the winter, here are some more great fireplace dramas for your holiday season. Let me know your favorite in the comments below:

Free wisdom scattered around downtown Seattle

An anonymous do-gooder is trying to inspire chilly Seattleites with signs posted around town.

Someone is spreading some free wisdom around Seattle, piggybacking on No Parking sandwich boards on Westlake Avenue and in the Denny Triangle.

I first noticed the signs, made from big pieces of plain cardboard, in midwinter and started seeing them pop up near construction sites and intersections with city signboards. The author changes them out when they wear out or get moved, but throughout the city the messages are much the same: forgive; do good; be kind; be happy.

I tried to find out who was responsible by asking around and leaving my card on the signs, but they remain anonymous. I guess I'll just have to wonder and smile every time I see these signs.

Spotted: free wisdom on top of an old No Parking sign on Westlake Ave outside the South Lake Union Goodwill.

A mysterious person quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson to inspire Seattleites to do some good in everyday life.
