Convert Image Into HTML

I downloaded this little program from www.noteme.com. The program takes an image and turns in into HTML code. The "noteme" page has a few examples that you can view. I made one from the picture of my dog: My Dog in HTML

Pretty cool! You can also do it with random text but the "@" images look sharper.

Thumb Drive Applications - Under 28MB

I've been playing with thumb drive applications lately. I've decided on these 10 applications for my 128mb thumb drive. After loading all of these I still have over 100mb free for data.

• Free Ping: I use this to keep tabs on which devices are up and running in real time.


• TorPark: This is a anonymous IP browser mod of Portable Firefox.


• PStart: This is my thumb drive menu system. It will scan for new executables.


• HFS: This is a quick and easy HTTP based file sever. You just start it up and drag a folder into it. The folder will be available online.


• FTP Server 3 Light: This is a quick FTP server. For any folder on your system.


• Startup List 2.01: This application will give you a list of all applications that are starting when your system loads up.


• Ftp Wanderer: This is a quick and easy FTP client.


• Curr Ports: This program tells you what your ports are doing and what applications are listening on those ports.

What Celebrity do you look like?

I've been running my entire family through www.myheritage.com all morning. It has a free demo celebrity face recognition matcher. I didn't get any close matches (49% Kevin Cline) for my face but my family appears to be much more attractive than me. You just select a photo from you hard drive and let it go. It makes you sign up but it’s free and no credit card is required.

Talk Pirate Day!

"You've read about it in Dave Barry's column. Maybe you caught one of our radio or TV interviews. Or maybe you just stumbled on to our site while googling around for sites your mother probably wouldn't approve of. Perhaps you're one of the millions of people from South Africa to Australia, from New York to the Pacific Northwest, who party like pirates every September 19th.

However you got here, stick around an' learn all about September 19 - International Talk Like A Pirate Day!"

Quick Online Spell Checker

Orangoo

"This little application lets you spell correct from any system or computer that has Internet access. It partially uses the Google spell checker and Aspell. Probably the best spell checkers around! The code is free, you can use it in your own web applications. In the future you may need to spell check some text, why not bookmark this service?"

I thought this would be stupid but I ended up liking it. The end is the best....

Free Audio Books

My iPod started out as a music player and has now ended up being used exclusively for podcasts and audio books. I've already posted one of my favorite podcasts. I have started listening to free public domain audio books. I get these through iTunes or directly through that web site at librivox.org. They are free because they are "classic". It's a good way to catch up.

Search audio and video

Today I discovered a new search site called Podzinger. As you can tell from the name this site has something to do with podcasts. You don't need to be a podcast listener to use this site. What Podzinger does is search both audio and video podcasts. The cool thing about Podzinger is the technology that it uses. It actually listens to all of the podcasts and then does a voice recognition index on them. When you do a search you get a list of hits and some text that has been recognized. You then click on the word exactly where you want to start listening. I did a search and no one was talking about me in any podcasts but I did find some interesting comments about Abraham Lincoln.

It's amazing what fans will do. Check out the skateboard on top of the car trick!

No One Cares

I couldn't decide if I should go with this shirt or with the "Nobody reads my blog" shirt. I feel like that Seinfeld episode where Cosmo Kramer holds a talk show in his apartment with no audience.

To tell the truth, I don't think anyone really reads blogs. They are only useful for a group a contributors to share sites and interests. At least, this is what I'm telling myself.

Daikaiju - Rock / Psychedelic / Surf

I was at the site for my favorite Podcast today (Escape Pod). It's a Science Fiction Podcast Magazine where they read original Science Fiction short stories. The site also allows you to listen to old episodes thru your browser.

Escape Pod uses a group called Daikaiju (die-kie-joo) as it's sound track. I finally looked their site up. The Daikaiju site allows you to to listen to several of their complete tracks. You can also listen to more tracks at their My Space Site: www.myspace.com/daikaiju.

"Who is the Daikaiju? Kabuki men deliver most high rocket music. Special reverb skill combo for full impact! Loud Roken-Roll for earful pleasure!"

"All reverb guitar action full on, GO!!!"

It's sort of Godzilla meets surf rock. This may be the new soundtrack that runs in my head all day long.
