Thing #6: Quick and Easy

I kind of played around with a card generator. Picked my favorite Homer picture and put it on. Looks like fun. Again, my husband got excited because he used to play Magic, the card game. These cards are just like those, but you can make them your own. Anyway, got it all set up, picked a background color, put in text and photo. Did not realize that this particular color had spiders on the background until I e-mailed it to myself and looked at it enlarged. Now my beautiful relaxed puppy looks like the spiders are coming to get him!!! Oh well. It was still fun to do, and I could see applications within the library world.

Froggy finds Thing #5 too time consuming

How many mashups are there for Flickr? I found a list with 365, some of which didn't really seem to be related. I did get my husband interested in Flickr. Now he's off to other sites, comparing, researching, trying to find the best option for our once a year subscription to a photo site. I may have created a monster. It's a good thing my husband is the detail-oriented type. I've been looking through some of the tools for an hour or so and just feel exhausted.

In playing around with Thing #5, I did get to do something a little fun. Here's my effort to use a mashup:

Froggy finds Thing #4 AWESOME!!!!

I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the stupendous options, but since I do a bit of scrapbooking (read: major hobby), Flickr looks like a dream come true. I can't wait to explore a lot more and hook all my family members and friends! I uploaded a picture and sent it off to a "friend" to see what they think. Our personal family webpage is currently broken. We've been wondering what to do. It consists mostly of a truckload (no I mean it, the dump truck type) of photos. Flickr just might be our solution.

Love the tagging feature too! Because from a scrap perspective, that means that you can pull together all the photos on a particular topic and put 'em in a cool creative album. I'm feeling a bit like I may have found a new addiction. What to do, what to do...
