Not being a programmer or animater yet, I spent the weekend doing some analog activities such as drawing images of endangered cute and furry animals. Late Saturday night I ventured into digital territory and downloaded free audio editing software Audacity, found royalty free audio sites and making some cool sounds (wav file at bottom of link below).
The theme of the jam this year was Extinction.
I worked on a team led by Daniel Jaramillo, grad student at NMSU Computer Science dept... he is DEFINITELY a digital native, being a programmer guy, and taught himself how to program for Windows 7 mobile phone games to make our game, Veloutinous (yes, it's from the French word Veloute).

Anyone interested in GAMES worldwide will have FUN on the Global Game Jam site.
One of the cutest endangered primates in the world the Silky Simpona from Madagascar.
The 'yet' above is an important word. Sounds like fun activities.
