Moan my IP?

There's lots of sites that will tell you your ip address. This one moans it to you in orgasmic tones. It's actually pretty ridiculous, but it makes me laugh.

AdBlock Plus!

Adblock plus allows you to block all flash-based web ads. By and large, you won't even notice that the ads are even missing - quite seamless.

Overheard in…

Sometimes hilarious, sometimes frightening things said by real people and dutifully reported by bystanders.

Some of the best are overheard cell phone conversations, people with their kids, or people on the subway. Or whimsical combinations of all three.

There's the woman who is loudly complaining on the subway to a friend about all the meds she has to take for her STD, while her mortified daughter standing nearby has to remind her that the meds are for SVT, a heart condition, and not for a sexually transmitted disease.

Or when a girl tells a younger boy that he's going to be a real lady killer when he grown up, and he answers: "Oh, I'll kill men, too. I don't care."

The Mom who tells her little boy: "You do not pee on somebody unless they ask you to!"

Or the boy standing in the ocean who yells, reminiscent of little Bill: "I CHALLENGE YOU, POSEIDON!"

Animation software

Dave Motta asked about animation software for his son to use in a school project:

The one I liked the most was Dog Waffle:

It had excellent tutorial videos - http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/tuts/DanCDtutes/index.html

A great application for animating scanned images created on paper is MonkeyJam:

Another very good application is 'Beneton Movie GIF' - http://software.benetonfilms.com/Beneton_Movie_GIF/

Photomosaic Makers

Although you have undoubtedly seen a photomosaic before, you may not know what one is. A photomosaic is a picture made up of many smaller images. One of the movie posters for The Truman Show is a prime example of this:

There is software out there that enables you to create your own Photomosaic:

Photomosaic maker – Perhaps the easiest to use by virtue of gathering other people's images for you, 'Photomosaic Maker' collects pictures from Flickr.com and forms them into a mosaic of any image you upload.
Photomosaic Maker

A more intense (but therefore with more customizable results) is the downloadable photomosaic maker 'Andreamosaic'. Andreamosaic allows you to use your own pictures (select a folder or folders on your hard drive) to create the tiles of the mosaic.
Andreamosaic allows a lot more customization of the end result (number of tiles, what pictures to use, how often a picture can be reused, etc) but is relatively processor-intensive and can take some time.
