Words

Oh my! Have you seen these? In yesterday's comments, Maria mentioned Wallwords and Willa mentioned Wonderful Graffiti. I just spent probably an hour tonight looking at all the gallery photos on these sites. I think I'm going to put a quote from one of these companies in the kitchen when I repaint it. Not sure which one yet - maybe not even kitchen related. Gretchen, you really need some words on your walls in your library, yes? Thanks Maria & Willa - I had no idea these places existed. I was blown away.

Amy mentioned Konfabulator in her blog the other day. Another colossal time-waster I just loved! What's a Konfabulator, you ask?

Konfabulator is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, can tell you your WiFi signal strength, will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols, and even give your current local weather.

I had just been looking for an electronic notepad type of thing recently and was about to download Post It Notes again but hadn't gotten around to it. I found several similar notepad-like Widgets on the Konfabulator site. Unfortunately I can't run it at home - my operating system is too old. But I can run it at work. I spent a lunch hour the other day looking through all the Widgets offered.

Gosh, I love the Internet.
