Internet fun

Since you all are enjoying Xtranormal, I thought I'd offer links to all the fun free tools I know about on the web.

Memes, Macros, Etc.

• Create your own motivational posters
• Meme generator
• Create a word cloud at Wordle (upload text and it'll size words according to how often they're used in the text)
• Custom animated text. There are oodles of sites that provide this. Here's one. And another.
• Add caption bubbles to an image.
• Add text to photo using popular ROLFBOT.
• Sign generator. Again, there are oodles, but here's one.
• Gif animations.
• Graphs that are easy to make and embed at Graphomatic

Artsy stuff

• Make-a-Flake
• Tartan plaid generator
• Make and color patterns at ColourLovers
• Draw "pencil" animations at Pencil
• Make your own cartoons at GoAnimate
• Textures

Less fun but useful is this html testbed.

I will update this post occasionally, without any update notation, as I learn of new things.

Scenes from my life

I've always wanted to be a movie director.....




I need to work on my sets and pacing. But overall, a fairly good effort I think.
I'm addicted to this site now...

Party Post...

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY, SSJ



I baked us a cake, figuratively speaking. You'll be familiar with the dialogue:



Lastly, pretend our name is Terrance:

Guess who

For instance, she asks venue owners to “utilize…non-petroleum cups” and other “alternatives to Styrofoam” for backstage drinks. She requests they reduce their reliance on fossil fuels by using “renewable sources and/or to [buying] sustainable energy credits where possible.” She actually asked them to check with their local utility companies to see if there’s a “green power” option they can switch to during her concert. She asks for “eco-friendly cleaning and bathroom products [and] post-consumer recycled toilet paper and paper [towels].”

Answer here.

This is how you handle nuts.

The gunman was reportedly motivated by Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth eco-propaganda. Guess what? I’m not playing that opportunistic blame game here. It’s not Al Gore’s fault when an enviro-nut goes off unhinged (and I’ve said that before). The blame in this case lies with the crazy man who terrorized the Discovery Channel employees. Period.

Gun-wielding ecoterrorist calls for reduction in human population, gets wish

Venn Diagrams, part 2

I see your Venn diagram and raise you:

Re: SSJ Birthday

I remember its, er, conception as if it were yesterday.

Did anyone notice...

SSJ has it's fifth birthday tomorrow?

Silence of Left

Remember all the hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing on the left during the Bush years about how horrible the deficit was? And all the blather about how expensive the Iraq war was?

We don't hear that kind of thing so much anymore.

Exactly my point

Cool Venn diagram here that makes the same point I made earlier:

Mosque developer Sharif El-Gamal

I haven't followed it closely enough to know that this guy was involved, but it looks like there is more than one shady character behind the GZM. Steph, the link is to MSM so it's safe to click through...

Rauf is a slumlord

Not only is he a shady imam, he's a slumlord to boot.
