On the first day of Christmas…
We’ve had quite a few Christmas related ideas at Code the past few months. One I envisioned (and which we were going to run with until we collectively realised it would take far too much time and manpower to do successfully) was a ‘Twelve Days of Code’. Each day we’d present a unique video, microsite, app, game or whatever that gave a look into the life, culture or people of Code. We genuinely had something great and interesting for each day but alas time and common sense was against us.
My idea was sparked by my line “On the first day of Christmas Code Computerlove gave to me…” — I aimed to rewrite the Twelve Days of Christmas song, syllable for syllable, reflecting each of the twelve ‘presents’ we were going to give. Housed in a microsite, its layout and structure would reflect the recursive nature of the song — so you could effectively sing it and browse the website at the same time.
