#10 Image Generators


Some pretty interesting things here. It was interesting to browse - I had fun converting my name into Tibetan, Chinese http://www.chinesetools.eu/names/, making an ASCII character poster http://www.asciiposter.com/create , playing with text on photos, and making a photo calendar www.freephotocalendar.net/free-printable-photo-calendar.php.

I think it's useful to know these things are here -- but feels like I'm just "playing." Might make more sense to have something I want in mind, and then go searching for it. The e-mail card creation might be nice for some of our computer classes.

What this really all reminds me of is the "shareware" of the 80's -- lots of people creating lots of free software, some of it useful, some of it not. Ha! And now I've both dated myself and shown my early interest in technology. I began my techno-life with a Kapro .. which ran with Cpm, not DOS.
