Shape Collage

http://www.shapecollage.com/

This is a very cool new web application. Very cool indeed. You supply the photos and it creates a collage of them in any shape you like – solid shapes, outlines, text, whatever.

If you ever played Nintendo games then click on the Nintendo Logo Collage above for the full version and reminesce! For other example collages visit the Shape Collage Gallery.

Fake Web Sites

I just found a new fake web site thanks to SciGuy Eric Berger. You’re gonna love this one.

I particularly love his comment about part #12 in the image.

For example, no. 12 is … wait for it … a casino. Which actually makes sense.

Because if you’re building one of these you’d better be prepared to throw your money away.

It’s right up there with:

• Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie
• California’s Velcro Crop Under Challenge (1993)
• Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division
• Save The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus
• The Dog Island
• The Society for DNA Free Food
• The British Veterinary Voodoo Society

Know of any other good ones? Leave a comment and I’ll add them to this list.

Google Image Swirl

Source: Google Image Swirl.

Ever spent hours searching for that just-right image? Well, Google has a solution for you. It’s called Google Image Swirl. It’s a little hard to describe so you should simply try it out, but I can already see myself using it to quickly find that just-right image for whatever I’m doing.

So…

Step 1: Search for something.
Step 2: Click on a picture that resembles what you’re looking for.
Step 3: Repeat step 2. If you get stuck, backtrack by clicking a previous image.
