The buzz about Flickr

So now I see that Flickr is cool and is another site a person could spend a lot of time on just looking at photos. I searched for "Heather" and found lots of beautiful flower pictures. I also found photos of people named Heather, obviously... one Heather is a famous body builder... eeewww.
Anyway, I am not the world's greatest picture taker - usually mine are crooked - so I stole one from the FA library's pictures of when we got our staff t-shirts. Here's the link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/24752898@N02/
I also searched for "librarian" and there was a group on Flickr sharing pictures of their messy desks! It would be fun to join a group and talk to other library people or see pictures of beautiful libraries around the world!

I'm a Wee Me

http://www.weeworld.com/home/FineArtsHeather

I made a wee little me on Wee World! I think the way the wee people are drawn they kind of look like the Cathy comic strip characters. Anyway, it was really fast and easy to create. And... that's all I have to say about it. :-)

Picture This

I've been playing with the Photo Spread Effect Generator (not the catchiest of titles) - when you open up the page, it says "Lunapics" which I think is much better. Just one letter away from lunatics... but it is free, fast, and fun! I didn't really have a picture of myself on my work computer, so I pulled up the one from Off The Shelf and got Daniel to help me get it out of there and into a format I could play with. Now I know how people easily get their Facebook profile pictures to look distorted or different. There is even a link on Lunapics to upload an image right to Facebook or Myspace. I changed my pic to a charcoal outline effect, which I liked, and then put it on Facebook. So let me see if I can figure out how to put it on this blog now!
