Good Day Sunshine!
Howdy All!
Let’s Play!
But before we do that, Funny news! Robo-Granny called from her hospital bed to chat and she sounded very good, perky even. She said she was black and blue all over. Surgery is not for sissies! LOL! She is going home today. They wanted to release her yesterday but both her and my dad said no way. They both knew they needed another day of someone doing all the important stuff for them before they flew solo. She said when they were granted another day she was so drugged up she just snuggled down in her bed and Dad on the cot next to her and off they went to sleep. Relieved. Well, she woke in the night and didn’t know where she was so she called for Dad. He called the nurse because he took it for a medical problem when all she needed was a little reassurance. Poor thing all wound up with concern he is hearing hoof beats and thinking zebras. The nurse came in, found it was nothing serious and tucked them BOTH back in bed like little kids and told them to stop telling stories…they slept the rest of the night. LOL! God Bless Nurses! This one was not going to let either of them give her any grief! HOOT!
Okay, Now Let’s Play!
Have you heard of Wordle? http://www.wordle.net/
Its a free online word cloud generator, I went for a little test drive with a little part of my favorite Schoolhouse Rock song…
We hiked along without care.
Then we ran into a bear.
He was a hairy bear,
He was a scary bear,
We beat a hasty retreat from his lair.
And described him with adjectives.
I pasted the whole thing into the Create Screen 3 times and the more repeats of a word the bigger that word gets. You see BEAR was pretty popular. The best words were pulled up automatically. How Fun!
Hit the random button over and over to just zone out and look at the words and colors flash by. Or you can try the menu to specify fonts and themes. Right click a word to remove it, Right click the background for other options.
Didn’t try the print option. Not sure how great they print, but it was pretty fun just messing around on a Saturday Morning. I thought it could be great for word art, layout firestarters, and taking a break from the grind, like I was! WEEEE!! A great tool for the mojo impaired it really got my creative wheels turning.
Hey don’t forget about my second chance giveaway and if you do it, remember to email me when you are done so I can send your goodies! If you already did this and forgot to email me, do it now, its never too late.
Happy Saturday Chickies!
