if the news here is old, blame
June 30, 2010

I've got to fill up the swimming pool five times, watch Independence Day 48 times, and bake 3 dozen blueberry pies. Or at least that's what I could do this 4th of July weekend, if I play my cards right. But this weekend, unfortunately, over 200 people will die in drunk driving accidents, too. If you play your cards right, you won't be among them.

That means celebrating America's birthday with style, class and responsibility. It's in that spirit that we have toiled away to create another eCard for The Century Council urging everyone to be safe this 4th of July!

Check it out and help spread the word. Be safe and have fun this weekend!

December 22, 2009

For the last three years, we've partnered with our friends at The Century Council to create a holiday eCard, and every year, they make us raise the bar. For 2009, we created a game for them based on the arcade classic Frogger, called Holiday Hop. Instead of a frog, a family of gingerbread cookies is trying to cross the street without crumbling. As a twist, and to make this more relevant to The Century Council's message, we added drunk drivers to up the difficulty. So watch out!

We also used this game at their holiday event on the Hill (see their flickr set here), which was widely lauded as "the greatest Hill event ever." No lie. And if you can't tell in the photos, we made a custom "dance mat" for the game (similar to arcade dancing games), so you got to jump around to control your gingerbread cookie family.

So, as always, be careful on the roads this holiday season - don't drive drunk, and don't assume others are as smart as you are!

Happy holidays from Actual Size!
