My friend, this evening, handed me this card that she got in a magazine. It's a Hallmark Online Surprise.

She said "you have a webcam, right?" I said 'sure'. She said "Take it home, and follow directions".

I did so.

WELL!!! I never was so impressed in all my life. You click on some instructions, it downloads a plug-in from Hallmark, then you are looking at yourself via webcam. You hold the card up to the web cam and all these dancing people are singing and dancing on top of the card. Like a hologram. I called Alan over and had him sit down and you should have seen his face. He was holding the card with the dancing figures on it. He said 'What the???"

I said: "ALIENS"

You have to see this to believe it. Go to hallmark.com/extra and click on the video. You see exactly what happens if you had your own card.

It's the coolest thing I ever saw.
