Thing 37 -- Photo Tales

03/18/2009

TiltShift -- another toy to play with ... I took a pic that is a group of old calendar pics and the result is rather interesting ...

Okay, so then I took a few pics that I had taken in a brief view of our campus and I used animoto to create a little animated slide show ... you should be able to view this directly below this blog posting. I like the overall presentation but I didn't really like any of the music that they had available but I wasn't interested in uploading any of my own music. If I was really going to do something like this for our library web page I'd probably look into uploading some drum or native flute music or such.

I also used Sideoo to create a horizontal slide show -- which you should be able to view at the bottom of my blog page. This was very easy & quick. I do wish that there was a little bit more of a "border" or something (just slightly) between the pics -- just to distinguish them somewhat.


Overall, what can I say?? Lots of fun and ideas for all of those pics we have hiding in files on computers that have never been printed or pics that are still stuck in our digital cameras!!

Thing 36 -- Comic Relief-Generate Some Fun

03/16/2009
hmmm, a little tee-hee or ha-ha or in this day and age a lol or gol!!

I like the wordle created word cloud for "more things" so I've shrunk it's size and added it to my page.

I also looked at ToonDoo and found this library cartoon that I liked and think it's very fitting!

I've seen other sites like the one to convert your name to Dewey -- mine was rather long but I thought interesting because it put me in the area of "technology" -- which I think is fitting.

I thought the Vinyl Record Creator was cool & I plan to make a record for a friend who was in a band and loves to sing karoke. :0))

The Acme Label Maker was another interesting app and looking around on this same site I found the Acme License Maker. I created a MN license plate for 1952 for my sister -- it's her bday in June and she was born in MN in 1952!

Now how could you possibly list lolcats generator as a "very silly generator"??? What's not to love about "I can has cheezburger"???? Kitties can bring so much love and laughter into our lives ... may my precious Emma rest in peace ... May 1996 to March 2009.

As for the Excuse-O-Mat ... well, who couldn't use a good excuse once in awhile?? Here's mine for not looking at ALL of the links on this thing assignment:
...I got so absorbed in this loser who USED to be my romantic interest that I could hardly work, much less concentrate on trivialities-- and then my bank statement got screwed up. I am so much of a space cadet sometimes! Anyway, I hope my karma doesn't bottom out this week.
