Years ago, I used to be swamped with forward-along emails of all kinds: jokes, cartoons, pictures, stories, or whatever.  Now I only have to battle back the constant barrage of spam.  However, I do miss some of the cool shockwave flash or executable file animated gags that I used to see.  Holiday Snowglobe reminds me a lot of those emails.  It’s a simple site that contains a snow globe that you can shake up and watch the ensuing results.  As simple as it is, I’m embarrassed to admit that I found it mildly addicting.  Inside the snow globe is a family of tiny snow globe people who try to go about their day snow boarding, ice skating, making snowmen, etc. but succumb to frequest and unexpected shakes that leave them screaming out for help and cursing the “damn earthquake!” Just in time for Christmas.
