Update

CC0
The last three weeks I was busy updating design of all my published blog post. I changed background color on the blog posts, fixed some minor errors. And most importantly, I added timer to each instruction. You can find the timer at the end (bottom line of the post) of each instruction. I wrote it using HTML and JavaScript. The stand alone timer is published here. The code of the timer is available here (as every thing that I publish it goes under public domain dedication license, so you can use/ post it on your webpages without any limitations). The timer starts automatically once the page is fully loaded. The timer should work in any modern browsers supporting JavaScript.

I think that timer on webpages is important for number of reasons. It gives you idea on how much time you spend on each particular web page. You can use it to estimate how much time it takes for you to make the balloon sculpture. Also, just seen the timer (or any clock for this point) helps people get back to reality (for this reason you may not find any clocks or even windows in most casinos-they want you to stay in!). Internet is a wonderful and very powerful tool in your hands. Use it to make your world better-get back to reality! Have fun and happy twisting :)

One Dream Coin New Design

I came up with slightly alerted design of the One Dream Coin. In this edition I use less granulation on pictures and most importantly the heart shape filled with light blue color that I use as a background for all balloon twisting instructional pictures :) The heart shape can be used for personalization of the coin. It makes it easier for users to add (write) notes, pictures and etc associated with the accomplishment.

To make it easier for you to edit the design of the One Dream Coin, I attached the GIMP file of the coin to One Dream Coin webpage. You can click here to download the .xcf file
  
I posted under each picture direct link to the online source of the picture (on my picasa).

One Dream Coin gif pictures

CC0
In this post you will find the same One Dream Coins pictures as published previously just in different format: gif. I think pictures in gif format are more suitable for web. Also, all pictures have transparent background. It is better option for web design purpose. As usually, this work is released under public domain dedication license. So, you can use all pictures as it is or modify them for your purpose.
To past picture in your web page: right click mouse; select copy image URL: past it on your webpage in HTML view. There are other ways to do the same. If you have any questions email to fewdoit@gmail.com
Also, I am not sure if it is possible to make animated gif with transparent background. Though, I am going to make it if it is possible. Or I will use javascript to make the spinning animation. Have fun and happy twisting :)
September 17, 2012 update:
I just noticed that if you try to save pictures from this blogpost it load them in png format. I don't know what is the problem here. I added links (under each picture) to the same (original source in gif) pictures on my picasa.










Below is a link of spinning coin in gif format. For some reason it shows on black background though I made it transparent?! I added it here just to see if I can use it some how.

Update

Finally I got response from Yahoo on my question about video uploads.
Yahoo! Customer care answer: "We no longer accept video submissions". So long to associated content-one of the best and my favorite online content hosting service.

Well, as you may know, I also upload all videos on Youtube, Archive.com, and Blip.tv
You can find links to each video on the post page.
Have fun and happy twisting :)
