My son wanted so desperately to wish you all a happy new year, so here he is, posing with my hat and all 
Aron turned 6 months on december 27. He’s full of smiles and really interesting language interpretations. He’s just about to begin crawling around. He also wishes to thank you all for the humongous pile of presents he got for Cristmas.
Most of all he’s the cutest, loveliest and happiest little boy alive!
After several years of nothing but muddy snow residue on christmas eve it finally looks like we’ll be having ourselves a merry white christmas this year. Not bad for a first celebration at home, in our new house and with our beloved son.
Speaking of whom, here he is picking lice off his gradfathers scalp like any other baboon.
Although a bit late for this season, I thought I’d share a small christmasy ActionScript nugget with you. This stuff was developed some time ago, so it’ll happily compile to Flash Player 6 if needs be. The script simply replicates a small, white particle that resembles a snow flake and animates it so that it falls from the sky. It also imitates 3D by altering the size and speed of the flakes and you can put any graphic you want inside the snowFlake movie clip to make it behave like a particle of snow.
I’ve actually had much use for it for various clients and projects. Go ahead and download it here:
Merry Christmas!
