Wordle

Wordle is a word cloud creator that is rather well known, mostly because it works quite well. You can write whatever words you want, or link it to a web page, and it will represent the words and how many instances of the word were seen by how large the word appears. This picture was linked to a wikipedia article about blenders, so ref is the largest word.

Tagul

Tagul is probably the most customizable word cloud creator I've seen, which lets you import your own pictures and create a word cloud based inside it. This one I made from a picture of Sanic, and linked the word source to the Sonic the Hedgehog wikipedia article.

Google Voice


Google Voice is another Google utility that can replace your cell phone if you want to. As long as you're calling within the U.S. it's free to call any number, though you can't text. It's available on the same page as Gmail, which makes it very easy to use. Go to it here.

Animated Text

This is an animated text thing I made with cooltext.com. Make your own here.

Stykz Figures

Stykz is a simple 2d animation software that makes it easy to make simple stick animations in the form of a gif file primarily or if you would like, you could export it by various forms of video file.

I created this with stykz, and I found that the "Super Mario World overworld theme" was good background music for it.
