Online Image Generators, or, Paul's Family Album

Play Week? Yeah, that was an understatement. I had so much fun playing around with the online image generators . . . . a little too much fun in fact. Once again I have found another highly-addicting computer-related past-time, just waiting to suck away even more of my time. Strangely enough, this week's activities had a very genealogical feel to them. I started out by looking at the various sample generators, but soon discovered that they contained personal family information. For example, I unearthed the ancient Roman origin of my name, Paul. Here it is. And trust me, there was absolutely no "tomfoolery" involved. This is completely legit. (Thank you "CoolText." Shhh.)



Also, through the magic of computers (thanks "Funny Face Generator") I came across several old family photos. Specifically, pictures of my older brothers. All EIGHT of them. The resemblance is uncanny. Unfortunately, as you'll see, I was sort of the "ugly duckling" in the family. Oh well, can't win 'em all.
































I don't necessarily see too much of a practical application for some of these programs, but then again, as a children's librarian I've learned that one should never say never. There COULD come a day when I need to make use of a "Ninja Text Generator." One can never be too sure . . . .
