Christmas is upon us once again, and we're all very excited about it here at gou-rou.com! Not just because it's Christmas but also because there are some very exciting things happening here on the site. This month sees our first ever online audio report, and the publication of our first anthology of articles. Yes, you read that right. Making a perfect stocking filler, gou-rou.com Greatest Hits (issue 1-10) can be purchased from this website. Not only is it made of lovely paper and words, it also helps us stay afloat if you buy one, as we'll make a small amount of money from the sale. We also encourage PayPal donations using the button on the index page -- every little helps!

In the meantime, we've got an investigation of Beijing's static electricity problems from Henrietta Wang, a marvellous breakthrough in music science, Joy la Joie's festive gift recommendations and much much more!

So dig in, root around inside our frozen web turkey and retrieve the lovely info-giblets inside!

Love and Christmas tidings,
Arabella Green
