Portable North Pole custom video for the kiddies

[the_poochies]

If you have kids - or even adults - who love Santa, you can create a customized video for them to watch. Hopefully, it will keep Little Poochie in line for the next few days.

My suspicious cynical paranoid thought when I looked at the website was, that this website is run by a group of clever pedophiles to mine information about your kids.

I feel terrible that my thinking has been so infected by the medias' bombardment of stories and imagery about terrible things happening to kids.

When my son was little, back in the mid '60s, we lived in Marina Del Rey, a place that has always attracted all sorts of people. He'd be out on walkway that ran beside the channel where we lived, pedaling along on his little tricycle, meeting people. Later on, I'd meet some of them and they'd say,"Oh, your Adam's Dad!" I was known, far and wide, as Adam's Dad.

There never once was a problem. I never worried about him being out on his own.

Nowadays, I worry…

OTOH, the way the questionnaire works, they want to know things that I don't have a way of knowing because I don't get to see my grandkids enough. I couldn't figure out how to play their game in order to send a message. Worse still, you can't send just one messdage for all the kids.

Oh well…sigh!

I sent one to one of my high school students today. He needed a smile. Thanks for the link.

But it does occur to me that it was the Baskin Robbins Birthday Club that was mined for information for local draft boards in the 70's and 80's....

Hi - and thanks for your interest in PNP. We've had a great time developing it. As the creator of PNP, I wanted to step in to tell you a little about UgroupMedia, in the hopes of reassuring you that we're not interested in data mining when it comes to the http://www.portablenorthpole.tv site.

UgroupMedia is the Montreal-based company that I head up. We specialize in the development and implementation of web-based personalized video solutions. PNP serves as our calling card, if you will. It shows companies what we can do .. and is a bit of fun for the holidays at the same time.

We respect user privacy. Your information is used strictly for the purposes of creating this video and is not sold to third parties. For example, we use postal only to determine your city, so that Santa can point it out on his map. It is not saved for any other purpose. If you check out our privacy policy, you'll see that we "undertake never to transmit, use or otherwise exploit the personal information you enter in the PNP form about the recipient other than and exclusively for 1) the creation of the personalized video and 2)for its transmission to the recipient."

We hope your children, friends and family will enjoy PNP and we wish you and yours all the best this holiday season.
