The Independence Day Roundup!

The Independence Day Roundup!

on Jul 2nd 2010 with 11 comments

Here in the USA (where I am based), the Fourth of July is fast approaching, which means festivals, food, and my favorite… FIREWORKS! In light of the holiday I put together a nice roundup of some cool fireworks shows, some flag tutorials and some free fonts!

    So many of the samples in the post are… YUCK.

  • Max

    Yeah, that’s awesome – you know given how probably half the people here don’t live in America and don’t give a toss if it’s Independence Day in America.

    • Mr. Obvious

      U-S-A! U-S-A! :)

    • Drew

      Give a toss? Who says that? Bitter Brit are we? Happy 4th regardless. USA! USA! USA!

      • Max

        Haha no, Australian.

      • Max

        But to just clarify, it’s not that I don’t have an issue with people celebrating Independence Day – but why not have other countries national days? Why not have a post for Australia Day given Envato is an Australian company? :P

        I think that would be a great idea, but no one has come up with the idea to do that yet. I did this one because I am American, and there was a bit of stuff to roundup for the 4th of July. If anyone wants to do a roundup with videos and elements based on a specific holiday, submit it to Adam…

      Like it or not, the world still revolves around America ;)
