Interactive Christmas
OK, another trivial post in a "serious" blog - but there is a point to be taken from these frivolous sites. It's quiote simply how incredibly easy it is to take part in these things (Web 2.0 I suppose it all is) now.

allows the user to upload and adjust a photograph and audio recording to create a Flash animation. It must be backed up by a good deal of server space. The interfaces are simple to use and make (I think) just the right number of assumptions about how much someone who is interested in this friviolous piece of Christmas fun is likely to know about creaing and editing pics. For young people nowadays, it's second nature.
The "elf yourself" link would have been more relevant last year, when my job title was "ELF" (E-Learning Facilitator). As I am now a penguin the message-writing penguin at
http://www.star28.net/snow.html is more relevant...
