Google just keeps pumping out these awesome tools! Analytics came last week, now Writely. Sure, they bought this program, but everything Google touches seems to turn to gold… just wish I had bought some of that stock.
This website allows you to create your own font. Once you finish it you can upload it to the gallery so you can download it, as well as hundreds of others that other people have made.
There is a town, in South Ontario
with dream comfort memory to spare
and in my mind, I still need a place to go
This is a cool new tool that takes advantage of Google Maps - check it out:
Give this program a time & number to call, specify text, and even what the caller ID should read. Hit enter, dust off hands, go enjoy a cookie and wait for your friend to be terrified as “The Government” calls and tells him he’s a suspected terrorist.
