    I asked students to find and print out an interesting post from any of the list on the Blogs I’m Watching page, and so I completed the exercise, too. The post I found interesting and printed out was on Joi Ito’s Web, “Mozilla Japan Get Firefox Awards,” which you can view at http://joi.ito.com/archives/2007/12/13/mozilla_japan_get_firefox_video_awards.html#comments.
    It’s an:

    online promotion for Firefox where over 100 Japanese video artists and animators have created some amazing videos to promote Firefox within 30 seconds

    Check out one of the the prize-winning videos, http://getfirefox.jp/video/gallery/j9wm/. It’s really cute–it reminds me of the Wallace and Grommit animated films.
