mardi 22 janvier 2013






Sad and bored at Christmas and New Year - is the last thing. So if you have not imbued with the spirit of the New Year, it's time to relax and go over the holiday sites


Some Web services are relevant only a few days a year. Moreover, there are holiday sites, which are not for profit. What motivates people to create similar projects? Yes, just the desire to raise a different mood.
Approximation of the New Year is noticeable not only in turn to the stores that are increasing by the day. The fact that the festival will soon remind even the most ordinary Web pages popular sites that stashed surprises. For example, if you enter the query "christmas tree" in the search for Google, then the upper part of the page is decorated with beads.
And if you go to the start page "Yandex.Mail," you can not only admire the balls, but they play a Christmas tune. Music for all the most popular holiday songs already selected employees "Yandex", therefore, to listen to the "Little cold in winter fur-tree" or "born in the forest Tree", it remains only to press the right buttons on the keypad. And you can not do even that, just click on the play button and listen to the music of Christmas balls.
Virtual snowflakes
New Year - is not just a holiday, feast and gifts. It is also a very nice tradition of decorating the house. Christmas toys, garlands, streamers, and of course, snowflakes. Cutting the last of a folded sheet of paper - a very exciting and unpredictable task. If you have a desire to "remember the golden childhood" and create your masterpiece, you can do it virtually.
Authors Services Snowflakeworkshop very well managed to convey the festive atmosphere of winter celebrations. The process of creating snowflakes as close to this: the screen shows the table, folded several times a sheet of paper, a pencil, scissors and eraser. Take a pencil, indicates the area that will be cut. If somewhere in something wrong - it does not matter erase eraser and start all over again. Then take a pair of scissors and make "snip, snip." Followed by animation, fly cutting, and - voila! - We can see his creation in expanded form. If the substrate by snowflakes overcomplicated layouts, service will report that snowflake failed, and propose a new, easier to design. All this is happening under the hilarious musical accompaniment to the Christmas theme. In the gallery of the project can be found at the falling snowflakes, cut by the resource.
The next snowflake generator called Make-A-Flake . It is constructed in a different way than the previous one. Here you need to literally "steer" scissors, directing them to the paper in the right direction. The result of "creative research" can be saved in JPG. The designer also provides a command to export in vector format EPS, but at the time of writing this review for some reason it did not work.
Snowflake cut out using online project Snowdays , eventually combined into a snowfall. Each snowflake in this "storm" is fraught with surprise. Just move to one of them, and the message from its creator, with reference to their geographical location. If the author of snowflakes selecting the appropriate option in the settings designer, he can answer - your comment will come to him in the mail. By the way, you can make snowflakes created by friends as a greeting card.
The principle is similar to the previous design of online services, with the exception that the final form of snowflakes visible at once, before the completion of work. It is much easier to create a pattern, but also deprives the effect of surprise, when, expanding the paper, you see some recognizable contours of such a funny mug.
It must be said that the process of cutting out snowflakes, many users come very, very seriously. Some of the snowflakes flying across the screen - a masterpiece, and their creation is likely to have spent a lot of time.
Service is very fascinating, and many of the visitors do not go away from him, leaving behind a pair or two of snowflakes. All, at the time of writing, the site was almost eleven and a half millions of snowflakes. And just for the time we wrote about it, users had to cut Snowdays with three dozen of different snowflakes.
If you think that cutting snowflakes - child labor, you are deeply mistaken. Take a look, for example, here on this page , and you will see that creating paper snowflakes - is an art. Joke - to design the snowflakes with recognizable features characters from the cult film "Star Wars"! Yes, and to show the world not only ready to snowflakes, and and instructions for carving. In general, if you want and your windows were covered with such original decorations, download the layout, print, fold, cut the pattern and enjoy the result.
Tracking Santa: deer on the radar
What relation can have command of the aerospace defense of North America for the celebration of Christmas? But is this: in 1955, in Colorado Springs, U.S. International Trade Network has placed in the print advertisement with its recognizable portrait, and phone number where kids can call and talk to a "real" Santa.

The site can also find a map of the village of Santa Claus at the North Pole, which are hidden games, and various facts about the New wizard.
