Aviary

No, not a place for birds but a great online image manipulation website consisting of several tools: Phoenix, a basic image editor, Peacock, a tool for building filters and creating effects, Toucan, an application for building palettes, and soon to come is Raven, a vector graphics tool. Like Photoshop, Aviary's files also supports layers.

All you need is a web browser and register with the site.

Free Team Chevy Sticker

EDIT: I've noticed several hits on this over the last few weeks. Clicking on the link leads to "page not found". I'm sure this offer was for a limited time only and since this post is from March '09, I bet the offer has expired.

Anyway...I sent off for mine and didn't get it, so....

Sorry for any inconvenience.

I'm sure I've already told this joke, but...I won't let that stop me.

Did you hear about the Indian chief who drank a hundred cups of tea?

They found him dead the next morning, drowned in his tepee.

Free 3-D Glasses

At your local Dollar General.



Was sorting through some stuff a few months ago and ran across a couple of pairs of 3-D glasses almost identical to the one pictured above. A few months before that I was doing the same thing and found another pair! I can't remember when I got them or what was supposed to be viewed through them. Seems as though one was for a movie and the others were for particular magazine issues.

I'm really wondering why I still have them. I probably didn't remember the reason why when I threw them in the box, hoping that the next time I found them I might remember.

I'm also wondering if there's any significance to this post mentioning Dollar General and the previous post mentioning Family Dollar. I go to both local outlets fairly often and will have to remember to get my free 3-D glasses...so I can keep them and then a few years later forget why I have them.

I'll also need to remember which store is which. Thank goodness two of the competing outlets are right next to each other. I'll probably go to the wrong one first, then instead of driving to park at the right store, will forget to look both ways and get run over crossing the street.

The advertisement says "The Big Game Just Got Bigger!" Hmmm.... Usually, 3-D glasses give depth to a printed page or a movie by using a stereo effect, but if these make things look bigger, I will have to try to remember that if I ever get a girlfriend.

Free Chocolate Turtle

Chex Mix®, that is.

I already receive the Betty Crocker® email newsletter, so I am not eligible for this giveaway, but I'd recommend both the newsletter and the new Chex Mix®. I almost always find a good recipe in my weekly email and a sample of this new product was consumed within five minutes of getting it in my mailbox. They also sent me at least half a dozen dollar off a box coupons, but the treat IS loaded down with sugar.

-sigh-

Step right up, getchyer free sample right here!

My Painting

Ford the Mustang - Click graphic for larger view

(click graphic for larger view)

Nah, I didn't paint that; it was a photo I took last year of Ford the Mustang, but I used a new program called FotoSketcher on it.

My IrfanView has a similar feature, but without as many changeable parameters. I also liked the pencil sketches the program is capable of creating. It is extremely easy to use and the learning curve is barely one at all.

The results look cool, and I can't wait to try it on a few other favorite photos I've taken.

Abcde...

Whatever...The world's longest alphabetical email address.

(from the website)

It's so long that...

- Some web forms are unable to read your email address
- Some email software cannot be configured
- People have a hard time typing in your email address
- Companies think that your email address is fake
- The Longest Alphabetical Email Address on Earth!

and...

It's Free!

I signed up for this several years ago and other than a novelty, I really don't understand what good it would be to use.

Still...a site that uses ellipses can't be all bad, plus...

It's Free!
