Play Week 5

This week was a lot of fun! Image generator can do so many different things. I created a puzzle from a favorite photo of mine; turbanized my photo; made a 150 year old photo from one I had taken in 2008; found my 10 celebrity face matchups; and discovered Big Huge Labs from Flickr. The URL address for Turbanizer is: www.turbanizer.com

Library Thing: It's amazing that so many people had cataloged three of my five books. However, I had one Norwegian cookbook that had only 33 other catalogers. The fifth book was so-so.

WebFeat: My hometown in Illinois had 30,000+ hits. And when living there the population was under 10,000 people. The town's claim to fame was being home to the Bettenhausen's. They are a car racing family and owned the Bettenhausen Dodge dealership. Still do. And a race car literally hangs in the front window of the showroom. There was Tony, Gary and more that became famous race car drivers in the 40's and 50's.

flickr technology

It is amazing the vast quantities of photos posted on Flickr. Somehow I found a Florida photo to post on my blog without even trying. The Fennec foxes were curious. The photographers other images are worth seeing, too. The 3rd party application I liked was the flickr toys, where one could make a poster, create a puzzle and all other types of cool things with your own photos. Trip planner was interesting, too.
