Clay Yourself

Today I went to another avatar site.  This one is called Clay Yourself.  You can chose from a man or a woman, and then eyes, nose, hair, ears, shirt, and accessories.  I made mine of a football player.

Avatars

Today I explored several sites that let you create avatars.  The first site that I visited was Build Yourself Wild.  That site lets you start out simple by making an avatar that you can resemble to look like yourself.  Then, it has you add different animal parts like wings, feet, tentacles, claws, and many other animal features.  This is the picture that I created.  Go check out Build Yourself Wild Now!!!

The next site that I visited was SP-Studio.  If you have ever watched South Park, you know that there are endless characters.  I don't know about you, but I have always wanted to create a South Park character.  This site lets you do that.  You can add weapons, glasses, facial hair, tattoos, endless combinations.  As you might expect, I did something football related, and made a South Park football player. 

The last avatar site that I created was DoppelMe.  This is another basic avatar creating site.  To get all of the options though, you must create an account.    

 

Panoramio and Google Offers

Today I explored two utensils that Google offers: Panoramio and Google Offers.  Panoramio is a cool gadget that involves Google Maps.  What you can do is, type in an address, or a place in the world, like this picture of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.  Also, what Panoramio does is if people have uploaded pictures from that spot, you can click on those pictures and see that area as a person would and not just from the sky. 

The other tool that I explored was Google Offers.  Google offers is a cool gadget that you can use to get items from around your area.  Google uses your location, and then it gives you several products that Google Offers, offers in a nearby city.  This is a picture of thermal stones.  They are really cool because you can freeze them, and put them in a cold drink, or, you could put them in the microwave and have them heat up our coffee or a different warm drink.

iGoogle

iGoogle is one of the most useful things I have used this year.  It is kind of like an iPod or iPad because you can add gadgets.  There are all sorts of gadgets that you can add.  I added gadgets such as Calculator, LIVESTRONG Fitness Tip of the day, Google Calendar, games, and of course, several sports gadgets (if you can believe that).  The sports gadget is similar to ESPN applications.  It tells you scores of all the biggest college basketball, NBA, NFL, college football games, and many other different sports.  iGoogle also automatically has your e-mail on it; it is very handy to have your e-mail right there in front of you as you visit you iGoogle page.  Go set up your own iGoogle page right now!!!  

Google Maps

Google Maps is a cool tool that Google offers.  Most of you have heard of Google maps, and possibly have used Google maps.  You can get directions by typing in your starting address, and then typing in your final address, and Google Maps will give you directions to that place as well as how long it takes to get there by car, bike, train, or even by foot.   Google Maps can also be a fun, time-wasting toy.  I am guilty of wasting hours on this tool.  It is fun to go into satellite view, and then look for my house.-------------------------------------------------------------->
