I wanted to make some nifty animations for a number recognition game that I created for use in the classroom. I scoured the web for a nice freeware animation utility, but most of the programs I tried were pretty clunky or expensive. A friend on IRC directed me to Graphicsgale which is almost exactly what I had in mind! :) (http://www.humanbalance.net/gale/us/download.html)

Lately, I've been spending most of my free time developing educational tools. I've lost track of how many I've built so far. I'd post them here, but it's all early learning stuff and would probably be boring for adults to play. Also, I'm sort of hoping to make a compilation and possibility sell them. We'll see how that works out.

Anyways, this morning I played a little more with one of the demos I made during the summer. I'm not thrilled with the result, but it could have been worse. I think if I had made the spaceman 10 x 10 pixels, then moving around corners wouldn't feel as clunky. I had a hard enough time drawing it 10 x 20! :D

Yeah, it's nothing major. I'm just posting - because. Sometimes I just like the way the keys click underneath my fingertips. :P
