From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
A little bit of variety for our friendly little mascot?
Published on October 26, 2007 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News
After the incredible success of my call for community Winky submissions, I got to thinking of how maybe our little friend needs a little bit more variety throughout the year.  In the past, I've been told that Winky changed his appearance for some holidays and seasons. 

Do you think we should bring back the special Winky graphics for different days and times of the year?

Here are some of the variations we were thinking up
  • Thanksgiving
  • Christmas
  • Valentines Day
  • Easter
  • St. Patrick's Day
  • 4th of July
  • Summer
  • Winter
  • Spring
  • Fall
  • Olympic
What do you think?  Should we do it?  Or do you like the logo up top to stay static through the year?

Hell yeah..we only live once right??? Saying "we only live once" is be cause with life's time to expend,I thinks its a good idea to get people in the spirits of our cultures and enjoy and drench them selves in great moods in hard times like these, were our fellow americans are fighting in wars and thier is a an epidemic of debt across the nation and the planet as well....people need a security blanket sometimes and see that thier is something to be happy about::

our independance, freedom

Christ's b-day

a day were lepricons get drunk

a day of mass genocide for anything that Gobbles(i love thanksgiving!) and to be Thankful FOR WHAT WE DO HAVE!
and so many more days for people to be american or something else in spirit

you get the point!
