Fun toys

My friend and fellow librarian Jill sent me a link a little while back to Big Huge Labs. It's affiliated with Flickr; if you have a Flickr account you can link to it and create really fun stuff. Actually, you can create fun stuff without the Flickr account, but if you have one there are some cool features like being able to upload pictures and find them again easily.

So far I've played with the Movie Poster creator, the Framer, the Jigsaw puzzle, and the Lolcat Generator. I used my cat Pierre as the subject for this one:

He's such a goon! And he doesn't even really LIKE pineapple.

Happy New Year

Here we are - another year! There's something really exciting about starting over again, I think. It's almost too bad that school years don't follow calendar years, but then again, maybe that's okay - it gives you two fresh starts in a year!

I don't have too much to say, just felt compelled to start the year out with a post. Guess I'm really already a day behind, actually, but I'll justify it by saying it's the first day back at work.

In any case, though, here's a pretty nifty little gadget - if you haven't seen YouTubeCatcher yet, you must! Unfortunately, our filter here at work blocks it, but you can try this at home!
