NORAD TRACKS SANTA

NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) is teaming up with the folks at iGoogle for a kinder gentler approach to a certain visitor entering our nation’s airspace.

The NORAD Tracks Santa website, is filled with activities for children leading up to the big night, and will use Google Earth and Google Sky to track the Fat man and his flying reindeer. (Quick: name all eight).

Since the end of the cold war, there is less to do at NORAD, and we have yet to see signs of an Al Qauda Air force or missile technology, so why not turn to happier thoughts at this magical time of year.

Visit the North pole to see the latest buzz and what those elves are up to and learn about Google Earth.

Have you named the reindeer? Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder, and Blitzen. Bonus if you also include Rudolf who only works on foggy nights.
