As friends and family gather ‘round this holiday season, it’s important to commemorate the year, and for the techie in your family, what better way to celebrate technology’s failures than by showcasing a yule log, powered by this year’s exploding gadgets?

Coupled with a winter storm in the background, this is the perfect way to commemorate 2016 and transition into 2017.
