Delicious


I think this sounds quite good I think I might set up my own Del.icio.us account and start saving and tagging websites. The only time I've tried 'tagging' is when you 'tag' someone in a photo on Facebook. I use my favourites tab quite a lot to save sites that I might want to go back to. I've created little folders for various things including one called 'work stuff' (creative I know)which includes links to 23 things, blogger etc. This would be handy as you could access it from any computer. How Delicious!

Rollyo o o

I just signed up on Rollyo and tried some of the searchrolls which other people have created. I tried the celebrity gossip one which was on the homepage. I typed 'Brad Pitt' and it searched all the gossip websites for me. It came up with 192000 results. I thought I would try and create my own searchroll so I made one called 'Books' what an exciting title. I added some Australian Online Bookstores like Angus & Robertson, Dymocks and then I added Amazon. It works pretty well I did a search on a title of a book and it came up with results from all the websites. I guess this could save time than going to each website seperately. It does seem to bring up some duplicates of the same websites. I'm not sure I will use it again I might have a play around on it again later. Even if I don't use it again it has been interesting learning about all these different websites like this one through 23 things that I never knew existed.

Week 5 LibraryThing

Well I have signed up on LibraryThing I think it might be good. I tend to stick to reading books by the same authors. I've been thinking lately that I need to start branching out a bit. I've just started reading Kathy Reichs novels which are quite good. I borrowed the first few from my local Library and then my Mum has lent me some more. I had not read any of her books before so its good to try a new author, although I also tend to stick to mystery/thriller type novels. I received a gift voucher for christmas and I bought my first autobiography but I haven't got around to reading it yet. I think LibraryThing might be a good way of looking at what other people are reading and see what they think.

Play Week Online Generator




I've enjoyed playing around with the image generators. I had a look around The Generator Blog and found a Simpson one called Simpsonize Me which sounded like fun. You download a picture of yourself (or someone else) and turn them into a character from the Simpsons. Above is the before photos... Here I am Simpsonized http://simpsonizeme.com/ecard.php?lang=en_us&code=avljrwedchqbhwnwqeekhhnvtqgzpsre#

Here is Tony


Here is Karen
Sorry guys I hope you don't mind being Simpsonized but you look pretty cool especially Karen who looks pretty darn good as a Simpson's character! I still look like a nerd!
Hmmm who can I find pictures of next to Simpsonize...
