Here are some happy new year blips to help get your groove on:

• Happy New Year!
• Party Like It’s 1999!
• What’s your reso- lution ?
• Auld Lang Syne

(Note: These links only work on the iPhone or a very fresh Webkit browser build.)

PS - iBlipper is now on Facebook, become a fan today!

We’ve released some of the technology behind iBlipper as an open source Library. tyPhoGraphic allows you to augment HTML content with a few custom attributes and have it animate with all the wiggle, waggle, wobble, and zoomy goodness of iBlipper.

Minor update to the iBlipper application, version 0.7.2:

• New effects: wiggle, waggle, and spinaway
• Bugfix to make sure animation is intact through rotations

Tip: Tap the screen during an animation for a control panel. It needs to be a really *quick* tap.

iPhone users can visit the live, hardware accelerated collection of holiday messages guaranteed to stir up the holiday spirit (or visit blog.iblipper.com if you have to type!).

For those without a fresh build of Webit, here’s the movie:

More on the the technology behind this — a declarative animation specification & renderer soon.

Here are some holiday messages for your blipping fun:

• Happy Holidays
• Ho Ho Ho!
• Have you been naughty or nice?
• Got to go shop, shop, shop!
• Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle All the Way!
• I want a pony.

Enjoy the season and thanks for using iBlipper!

We’re upping the ante with iBlipper real soon now. Here’s a nice slow-mo capture of the new hardware accelerated “trans formz” in action:

We’re playing with bouncing, zoom, wobble, fade, and shake. Check out the CSS (beta version). We haven’t even begun with color transforms, smooth scroll, or putting each word in a span to for letter level control.

Release is coming soon, you can try a build of the beta. These effects are now live!

We’ve been having fun with the new CSS Transforms in Safari and the hardware accelerated animation versions for the iPhone. Support is coming for CSS transformsin Mozilla as well.

So, check out a couple of work in progress demos:

• This one slides diagonally
• This one slides left to right

(Note: You’ll need to be on the iphone to see this in action)

These versions are also trying out a fixed-width font to make sizing a bit more consistent. Let us know what you think in the comments or at our UserVoice page.

While an serious change to the animation modus operandi is forthcoming to get the layout pixel perfect, a quick tweak of the layout parameters to full respect screen size makes iBlipper much more suitable for cross-office or laptop based visual communication.

Returning to the twitter heckling theme of yesterday, why just hold up your iphone to heckle a speaker?

Want to make a private comment in the office? Just get your recipient in view of your monitor and blip it.

Try it out on your desktop, Safari or Firefox please.  Sneak a bookmark into your favorite blip and fire it up when the appropriate situation arises!

Here are some office phrases to get you going:

• Did the boss get up on the wrong side of the bed or what?
• Wanna grab lunch?
• Vote Obama
• Is it time for happy hour yet?

Reading blogger extreme Robert Scoble talking about Twitter as the new domain for heckling conference speakers, yet another usage scenario for iBlipper came to mind…

Highly beta, visit twitter.iblipper.com to quickly turn your tweets into blips. Just type in your user name and you’re one click from flashing your tweet to the world around you.

(Hat tip to damn ralph for the jQuery + twitter json starter code)

Got a toddler who’s mastering their ABC’s or 123’s?

Try practicing with the help of one of these blips:

• ABCs 123s up to 15

We’re eyeing the use case for sing alongs like “mary had a little lamb” in which you want a bit more individual word level control of timing and pauses. Stay tuned.
