Track Santa -- the Tech Way!

I just got the latest Google Earth Sightseer e-mail and I needed to share the following with you:

It's that time of year again - the time for good food, good cheer, and, if you've been good, presents! NORAD ( North American Aerospace Defense Command) has been tracking Santa for over 50 years through their NORAD Tracks Santa program. This year NORAD Tracks Santa has partnered with Google to track Santa's trip. The countdown begins on December 1st, on http://www.noradsanta.org/, where children and families can find a new kid-friendly game or activity every day until December 24th. You can also countdown the days and hours until Santa's flight and track his real-time location on December 24th by adding the NORAD Tracks Santa iGoogle gadget.


On December 24th starting at 1:00 am PST users will be able to track Santa's trip in real-time on http://www.noradsanta.org/ or download Google Earth and the special Santa Tracking file from the website for an enhanced, 3D Santa tracking experience.
