Hey Mom! Look what I can do!

Didn't the creators of these tools consider that the crazy cat people were going to make all sorts of crazy cat mashups?

Jigsaw

Did they really think we could control ourselves, given these awesome opportunities?

My choice of tools for Flikr included Big Huge Labs and Aviary . My 7th post images were edited and enhanced using Aviary. The images above are all products of Big Huge Labs. There are a number of creative tools available, other than those featured above,  on Big Huge Labs:

Pop Art Poster

also, hockneyizer, movie poster, photobooth, FX, breast cancer poster, and badge maker. There are a few locator and mapping tools, and a bunch of other tools that I don't think I'd use.

    Other than locating work to view, or use such as that in creative commons, my interest and use would be in getting creative with my own images. I do think it's fun to create comical images for entertainment or writing prompts, so I may use them in the classroom. I really like playing with images and sharing them. People probably think I'm a little warped when they view my images, but I don't really care. I like to share.
