Some free ‘online xmas card’ creation magic from Picnik. The premium service has loads more features but for $30 a year you’d better be making a lot of cards. It’s tempting but I still like Comic Life which is now also available for PC … hey, wait a sec … wasn’t this free on the mac?!

Also worth mentioning is a fast, cheap way to get these images onto greetings cards, postcards, stickers etc. The best service I have found is Moo. I love these guys. Their service is fast and very personal and the quality of the cards is amazing. Check out the little sticker books they do.

Here’s a pilgrimage for you. How about visiting the ‘Largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island’? The answer comes from Elbruz, the Dutch scientific and educational organisation and is quite remarkable. The largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island is Vulcan point in Crater Lake on Vulcano Island in Lake Taal on Luzon in the Philippines. Don’t believe me? Click here. I wouldn’t bother taking a tent however.

I’m writing this in advance of the ‘Flash on the Beach’ fest in Brighton this weekend. I expect to be whoring myself silly while I’m there and if you’re reading this you’re probably one of the ‘whorees’ I whored myself too. Well, thanks for actually looking at the card I probably thrust into your face and visiting my blog. I apologise in advance for anything I may have said or done post 10pm as I was likely to have been in the process of being ‘charming’. Hope you had a great time … I did (probably).
