and brighten
up a blog or a website. It is also used quite often used when
commenting in Orkut, MySpace and other social networking sites. This
creates a unique distinction to both the commenter and the commentee.
These jaunty images can be created quite easily online and for free! It
really takes only a few minutes to create them, download them and then
upload them on the blog or the website. Buttons for a menu item or just a
plain old submit button in a form doesn’t have to be drab anymore.
There are many sites that offer free text, logo and font generators. These
are the quick-n-easy, no-messy-software downloads-required kinda text
image generators. There are ofcourse lots more toughies that do allow
minute control over the text and logo generation process.
Cool text: Easy-to-use, straight-forward and customizable with colors and fonts.
Font Image Generator: Sorta ok to use, takes some time to load and everything, has a lot of
other extra features including rotating the image, inverting colors,
pencil effect. My favorite one was the Kodak effect that renders the
text like a photograph with borders.
Glow Text: Just choose your fav design, write in your text and bam! you got your image!
After creating the fancy text, right click on the image (the text that you have created). And click on the Save Image As
button. Download it and save it in your computer. (you can even rename
it) The fancy text is now ready to be used as an image on your website
or blogs.
Just wondering how social networking would have worked out a few decades ago:
You read something hot on the newspaper or hear something atrocious on the radio. You desperately want
to discuss it with somebody, dissect all available information, analyze
the situation and predict the forthcomings. You head for the Tea kadai bench.
-A shanty hut providing hot liquids with no taste, nevertheless,
feeding juicy information for rubberneckers about the hot trending topics. It is a place where you hang out, most probably with total
strangers and from where, you return most probably with a gassy stomach
but a ear fill of exaggerations, opinions, accusations and a bit of the
latest news. Open almost at anytime, from dawn to dusk, it probably was
the haven for people who had to chew on information but to where one had
to walk to.
Unlike now, where you get the juicy tidbits,
opinions, accusations and bits of the news right where you are -on your
phone or your computer. Courtesy- the twitterati, google pluses, and the FBs on our BlackBerrys and ipads. Interacting with total strangers, exchanging opinions, likeing some comments, cursing a few, +1 some; shareing information, gossiping and RTing
it somewhere else. Looks like the technology has improved, but we
remain our same need-to-express-myself selves either at the Tea-Kadai
Bench or using Twitter!
Red whiskered bulbuls can be identified by their
sweet whistles which can be heard in the background. These are the
couple of bulbuls who visit my garden everyday when it is nice and
sunny. The enjoy the ripe pomegranates and devotedly take a bath and dry
themselves before they fly away. It is such a wonderful sight to see
them. I have grown to wait for them around 3 in the afternoon. Luckily, i
was able to catch their action live also
