a lot of stuff and nonsense from eclectech

Have a very Happy New Year everyone. Here's hoping 2007 is a good one.

If you'd like to see the new year in with some fireworks without venturing out into the cold feel free to go and waggle your mouse over the dancers on my noisy hogmanay fireworks.

Have a good one and see you all in the New Year.

Love eclectech x

True to my word I have made a festive animation. I have tooted on the kazoo and have made some cartoon reindeer and at least one person cover their ears in horror.

Jingle Kazoos! Merry Christmas!

After an enormously busy year I am officially on holiday and not working until 2007. Hooray!

I have had a problem finding free time this year, and I know I shouldn't moan as it's due to lots of fun animating work which is a Good Thing, but I don't function very well without time to play.

I haven't even done much festive silliness this year so I might pop off now, rig up the mic, get the kazoo out and do some festive tooting. I have some reindeer standing by, festive animation time I think!

Anyhow, I hope you're all having a fun festive time, dancing round your trees wearing silly hats, drinking mulled wine and not spending too much time going mad in shops.

Exciting news! Kilgore Trout, my adopted penguin, is back in the penguin colony at Cabo Virgenes in Argentina and there are two eggs being looked after by Kilgore and partner. Last year they had a single chick, fingers crossed both hatch successfully this year.

You can, of course, adopt a penguin yourself or treat yourself to a penguin song.

Oh. They are. Unfortunately despite my best animated efforts and the fine songsmithing of Mr JonnyB it looks like the government is poised to close thousands of them. Bah! Bad government!

Save the Post Office, that's what I say! I don't care if nobody listens*.

JonnyB is currently up for the best UK blog at the weblog awards. As suspicious as I am of any award where they encourage you to vote every day I encourage you to vote for him here.

I'm off to scribble some pictures so have an 'and finally' link... a 1938 fire alarm that conveniently traps the person using it. Splendid.

* Not true, obviously.
