Whats your ecological footprint?

October 3rd 2008 05:07

At ecofoot.org you can take a short quiz to see what your ecological footprint is. Its available for the US and Australia.

The results of mine say it would take 3.4 planet Earths to provide enough resources if everyone lived like I do.

It would also take 15.3 global acres of Earth's productive areas to support my lifestyle and 16.3 tons of carbon dioxide. Up until now I thought I was doing pretty good.

Create your own ....

September 30th 2008 02:12

Today I thought it might be fun to visit some places where we can create our own versions of popular things.

You can create your own demotivational posters with the Parody Motivational Generator.

Design the world a coke. You can design your own coke bottle using an assortment of tools and design elements. It's fun, give it a try.

This is my wild self

This is geared towards kids but it was fun to be a kid for a little while and build my wild self. This is through the New York Zoos and Aquarium. That's what I created above so it's your turn now. Build your wild self.

Help Meeee...The glitterbugs got me

Ever seen those obnoxious glittery, blinking signatures on forums and myspace? Well now you make one and join that annoying glittery group at Blingee.com.

You can design your own hero using the hero machine. I tried it and what a hero I created...six feet tall, long wavy hair, sparkling blue eyes, muscles out too heeeeere, and ummm well I wasn't able to save him and show him to you. What a shame.

You can create your own simple flash game at Pictogame. You can play mine here.

Unusual online museums and collections

September 25th 2008 22:46

I thought a stop by some unusual online museums and collections might be fun or at least a nice way to waste some time. I was surprised at some of the things people feel are worthy of collecting and displaying. Maybe taking a look at someone else's collection of treasures will inspire you to start one of your own.

This was one of those that really surprised me, but the good thing is that this collection doesn't take up much room and it's pretty colorful. It's the condiment package gallery
