Things I Think Are Kinda Cool

Want to see your face plastered up on a billboard in Taipei?   What would it look like to see one of the most famous celebrities in the world with a tattoo of your face?  Uploading photos of yourself and your friends to a site that then creates images, e-cards, and animated films starring you (ie JibJab) is nothing new – and who can forget the original Office Max “Elf Yourself” campaign from a few years ago?

But the static photos and simple animations that Photofunia generates from your images are at a higher quality than I’ve seen before.  And to be honest, those more involved animated films from companies like JibJab, while absolutely fun and entertaining, are sometimes a bit too long.  Photofunia images are professionally manipulated (the shading and effects are top-notch), and easy to create…with everything online lately getting quicker and shorter 140 characters at a time, these images do the trick.

Check these out – the dress isn’t on sale yet….sorry ladies.

Thanks for the tip, Matty
