We stumbled upon a great idea for a new family tradition. This comes just in time for those family holiday get-togethers. Take a picture on or around the same day every year, and compile them in rows. The good thing about this composition is that each picture is taken individually, so if you can’t get the whole family together at the same time, you can still have an accurate representation of each person’s image on that particular day.
Add a note to a friend’s photo on flickr with the text “ho ho ho hat” or “ho ho ho beard” to add a santa hat or santa beard (respectively) to the photo instantly.

As much as I like Captain Jack Sparrow as my background, I thought it would be fun to see what Send Me A Pic, a handy Web-to-Mobile picture exchange, could do. You can search Flickr images and create a customized image for almost any mobile phone*. I had success with my Sprint service.

*According to the site, currently only Sprint and Cingular networks have been tested. Verizon phones will receive the text message but the phones seem to disallow you to save it as a wall paper.
Who says you have to wait until 2007 to have a new calendar?
