Photo Editing

FotoFlexer:
Seemed pretty basic. Standad effects and such, maybe there could have been more...



















Picmonkey:
I like this one. But it seems like all the coolest effects are for the premium upgrade. its probably the one  would choose above all, just for the pretty effects i don't have access to...sigh. This is the funnest one, but not so comprehensive, probably the best for making awesome profile pics though.

Before
After





















Sumopaint: I don't have pictures for this one. Primarily because its frustrating as HECK! its probably a really good drawing app but this is a desktop computer and mouses also frustrate me (to draw with, i prefer them to the laptop finger-pad thing...but neither for drawing...). It was  really confusing, but i don't know much about this kind of thing, and i don't know what i'm doing really (required course, plus this is ninth grade), so its not the best for photo editing in my opinion, maybe if you can get it to work it seems like it has a lot of features. This is the hardest, by far if you've no experience with such things.

Pixlr: My favorite so far, it seems a lot like sumopaint, but i found it easier and actually managed to do something: Edited.                                                                                    Unedited:














It has good features. But it would be better than pretty much every other one i've tried so far for a more serious sort of project, and not a picture for facebook kind of thing. unless its a serious-ish thing you want to put on facebook...

Google Drive

There were some aplications for Google Drive i saw that looked like they could be helpful.
1. Floorplanner
It's pretty self explanatory, what it does. But its a neat concept nevertheless if you even need to see the layout of a room or design a room or something.  










2. Hellosign
another interesting concept, and green too! you can sign documents, checks and stuff, request signatures, and save templates of documents to reuse.








3. Zoho writer
Its like Microsoft for Google drive. Based on costumer comments it sounds like it has a few issues that need ironed out however, like spell-check not being an automatic feature.

10 Google Easter Eggs

1. Do a Barrel Roll
you start to type this in and it does a barrel roll. Simple yet awesome.

2. Askew
if you ever need to search this word you'll find a very good example in the screen suddenly.

3.What is the loneliest number?
1 of course!

4. Zerg rush
Just type this in to be attacked by a bunch of little O's. kill them before they eat your search results!

5.I'm feeling...
Artistic, Hungry, Trendy...
just hover over the "i'm feeling lucky" button and see...

6. Festivus
Happy Festivus! those familiar with the show "Sienfeld" will probably get this one.

7. how many horns are on a unicorn?

Oh. well there ya go.

8. The answer to everything:

9. Faces of Pegman
On google maps, the little yellow Pegman can change based on where you put him! here he is in legoland!

10. Calculator heart
just type in:

sqrt(cos(x))*cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5

 if you want to see this yourself.

Firefox Persona

I love this idea.

I'm a huge fan of customization already, be it with my clothing or I-pad or anything, anyway i can make something more mine I'm all for. Plus i love the variety available in getting to select from a bank of skins "personas" that other people have made. I'm artistically talented (or at least i'd like to think so) but if your good at something then theirs always a thousand more people out there that make yours look like crap. and that's definately the case here as well, some of the options are just beautiful! far prettier than anything i could ever create.

Feedjit

Another thing that we had to get and add to our blogger pages was feedjit.

It shows who visits your page, but it doesn't give specifics. It'll just say "a visitor from ___ looked at your page ___ ___ ago". Its alright. I'm not sure of the point of it really, but I'm honestly not very interested in that sort of thing. The number of people viewing my page is tracked in stats and that's what i care about, I don't really need a catalog of visitors. I'm not that obsessive.
