San Diego, CA, December 22, 2004 -- The Computer Science and Engineering department threw itself a holiday party in early December. In what has become an annual tradition, the event included skits written and performed by staff, graduate students and faculty members.

Video clips of the 2004 skits are now available online as downloadable Quicktime files [to install Quicktime, click here].

There are high- and low-quality video files of each skit. "The high-quality versions lose less video information in the compression process, and generally look better," says CSE professor Geoff Voelker, who helped organize this year's event. "On the other hand, they are larger so they take longer to download."

Still photos of the holiday party (such as those below) are also available from the CSE site. Clips of the skits from two previous parties are also downloadable, from these locations: 2002, and 2003.
