wordle

photo made at wordle

Wordle is a website that lets you make pictures out of words. As you see above I made a wordle out of words I use in my blogs. The bigger words are words I use the most and the smaller words are words I use less. I personally think this website is fine, but I don't necessarily recommend it.

animoto

Animoto is a cool website if you ask me. It lets you make slideshows with music that can be for fun, for someone, or to say a message. So animoto is cool and if I had an animoto account I would make one and show you. Sadly I don't.

big huge labs

Big huge labs is a photo customizer like image chef, but has different ways to customize the photo. I used lolcat generator out of all the options there were(like bead art or jigsaw puzzle). Both big huge labs and image chef to me are cool sites for customizing. I chose this picture because I thought it was funny but instead of lolcats it's lolmonkey. For using lolcat generater you have to type the words weirdly(it doesn't do it automatically). I think big huge labs, like image chef, is cool.

GO PHILLIES

For now I want the Phillies to win the world series because one, I root for the underdog, two I want the N.L to win, and three I don't like the Yankees that much. At first I wanted the Dodgers to go and win the world series,but they lost. Overall I think a majority of the calls made in the post season are really bad. Both teams need three more wins and the games are over in Philadelphia now and for some reason teams are more confident at home. So that will be good for the Phillies. So I hope that the Phillies will win but the Yankees will because they have so many good players. Go Phillies!!!

Image Chef

Photo by me :)
On image chef you can make your own special pictures like the one above. there are different ways to do it, not just on a sneaker. You can make a wanted poster, baseball jersey, neon sign, and more. I personally think this is an amazing website. From now on if I want special pictures, I'm going to image chef. (:

FlickR

FlickR is a very nice picture sharing website because it keeps your photos no matter what. I learned how to upload pictures on to this website. It has a guide that will help you saying how to upload your pictures in eight easy steps(the first one says what is flickr). The steps in order are upload, edit, organize, share, maps, make stuff, and keep in touch. If you want to know how to get to the tour, scroll down to the bottom of the homepage and press "take tour". From now on, instead of using google images I'm going to use Flickr(unless I forget).

Computer Connections

I've finally got my gmail account working after about four tries(YES!).
I'm going to answer the questions I've been given by my teacher.

Q:How can I be creative in today's world?
A: Well not many things I do are creative,but a few are. I like to build and make things. I like building legos, towers out of sticks, and sometimes make birthday and christmas cards by myself. I can be creative by making art writing stories(if I wanted to).
Q:What part will the internet play in helping me be creative?
A:The internet will play a pretty big part of helping me be creative. On the internet I will be writing a lot, posting things, and I spend a lot of time online too.
Q:If I can post my art, video, or writing work on the internet for the world to see, will this make me work differently than if only my teacher was going to see it?
A:Yes it would because I feel more comfortable showing it to one person who won't judge me.

So this is my first blog and I will start blogging a little bit more. :)
