Freestyle Counting

I think I missed Thing #6, exploring Flickr mashups and the like. So let's see if I can do this spell-with-flickr thing:

There! Well that was a
p I E C e O F c A K E!! In fact, it was so much fun I'm not sure I can

S T o P
But I will for now.The nice thing about this application is the ease with which you can change the individual letters. Don't like this "p"? Click it and get another. That one is unbalanced with the sizes of the other letters? Click again and presto. I'm thrilled I don't get a field of letters to choose from, as that would suck time like a Dyson.

Photo Montager is another Flickr mashup I tried. Now there, I wish I'd had some choice of which photo would be montaged, but no, you pick a tag and some photo with that tag is chosen for you and "montaged", or roughly imitated, using many many flickr photos. Meh, I thought, but then I was charmed when I realized that, as your cursor passes over the montage, individual pictures pop out. That was a sweet little effect. I want to play with that some more using really unusual tags...
