Some Gizmoz Are More Fun Than Others

I can here Ines and TLW now... "This is definitely a post we can hijack."

Project Blogger LogoYep. You got that right. Sometimes you just need to have some fun. I'm including this in the Project Blogger category, because at this halfway point it feels a bit like everyone needs to be reminded of that. 

Gizmoz.com is a very simple to use site. Upload a personal photo and it maps the photo to a 3D wireframe that it uses to animate you. You can record your own message, and it will animate to your own voice, but I thought this would be funnier with one of their pre-recorded messages.

As you can see, there is also a little "answering machine" widget. It's on the right, in my sidebar. Stupid? Maybe. It certainly not for everyone. Fun? Yeah.

I've said it before... sometimes having a good time is reason enough.

Ruth... I'm not sure how educationally beneficial this was, but it sure is fun.

Jeff, does everything important have to be termed educationally beneficial?  Some of my greatest lessons in life has been having a ball in the cockpit of my airplane.  I find you have so many valuable ideas, such as the camera we were all using and pointing and shooting at the party in Orlando.  Please keep sharing the fun ideas.  I learn so much on AR and I value your ideas.

I was hoping that would be the case....

However. I think Ines just booed the idea :)

Booed? I don't think that's right :)

I remember being out in wild wild space and hijacking a blog all by myself.

I don't need help with that. Or do I? :)

I HATE (YES. Strong word) the new graphics. Damn it man!

Jeff, I have no choice but to tell you that your post or should I say your lead into the www.gizmoz.com website has brightened the day of our entire office. I first read your post this morning at 4:30 AM after feeding the horses and I sat here with tears pouring down my face due to my extreme laughter. I shared the sight with our tam today and for the rest of the day, the office was filled with more laughter than the days of closing 15 loans during the "height" of the craze.

Hats off to you my man, a much needed breath of fresh air.....

For my customers, sorry for messing around on the net all day, I promise to get back to work tomorrow!
