Holiday Greetings 2004
Dec 15, 2004
Since this is the last Good Experience before the planned end-of-year Fun Stuff issue*, now is my chance to send some holiday greetings.
First off, I made an e-card for you - and for all Good Experience subscribers: get it here.
With some assistance with online genius Ze Frank, I composed a brand new carol, to be sung by Ze's elf-choir. If you're a fan of the "Lord of the Rings" movies, you'll hear an echo of a familiar tune.
If you want to make your own elf-choir carol, try the tool.
If you're still buying gifts, you might like to read my holiday suggestions, in the Uncle Mark 2005 Gift Guide and Almanac. It has tips on buying technology (and other stuff), for non-techies:
Next up, what's the holiday season without watching "It's A Wonderful Life?" Watch it here in 30 seconds, acted out by bunnies.
Speaking of "Wonderful Life", one of Seth Godin's recent columns struck a chord with me:
We still live in a world that's filled with opportunity. In fact, we have more than an opportunity -- we have an obligation. An obligation to spend our time doing great things. To find ideas that matter and to share them. To push ourselves and the people around us to demonstrate gratitude, insight, and inspiration. To take risks and to make the world better by being amazing.
And that's as good a description of the Good Experience philosophy as I can think of.
Thanks to everyone who made this a great year for Good Experience: contributing to This Is Broken, attending Gel 2004, sending in feedback to the newsletters, posting (and responding to) job openings, and generally being a fun group to write for. I hope to deliver at least as good a "Good Experience experience" in 2005! (Did I really write that?)

* Sometime before Dec 31, I plan to send out a Good Experience newsletter filled with links to most or all the Fun Stuff entries during this past year.
