Montage-a-google creates an image montage from a google keyword. You can click on the individual images to see the larger image from which it was taken. I found some neat images using the keyword “dragon.”

Kaleidoscope is fun drawing toy that requires a fairly up to date browser.

LOL Cats

For those who didn’t understand my Friday post Spring, Pleez? I used the fractured syntax from Lolcat graphics occasionally found on the Internet in my photo. The Wikipedia article on Lolcats has a history of the genre. The I Can Has Cheezburger? site has examples.

I’ve never quite understood why LOL cats use such fractured syntax. I’ve always felt that if cats would deign to speak to us lowly human beings they would use the snooty accents once common to BBC announcers, with impeccable grammar.

Spring, Pleez?
