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.
