Cut and Paste


Gots to love image generators, eh? Do you suppose they were created to full-fill the urge to paste unsuspecting heads to unsuspecting bodies? I liked RedKid.Net, which offered a myriad of pasting and generating choices.

I also played a bit with LibraryThing. LT – where were you when I was a child, alphabetizing and categorizing by subject? Where were you when I needed someone to turn to for book recommendations and the stupid school librarian kept pointing me to the baby books when really I wanted Lord of the Rings? Oh, how I love thee. How I want to just catalog all weekend long and be a Peeping Tom into everyone’s reading bookstands. How I dance around and relish in your promiscuity.

Then of course there is Rollyo. I was recently at SLA and the Google rep discussed their version. I thought I got the concept there, and I kind of get it now - or at least the first half of it anyway. So I had Rollyo search some of my favorite blogs...you know, the ones that make me wish I was as handy with a needle and thread as these ladies. Anyway, it's the second half of the concept that gets mushy for me. I assigned the keywords that I thought might apply (i.e. sewing, quilting, crafts, etc.), but what happens if you don't search with one of these tags? Does the whole Creative Inspiration Rollyo universerve begin to fold in on itself? Just something to ponder. Frankly, it's making my head swim and I think I may swoon. Best go lay down with a cool cloth...
