Meeze, toys and giants




I started off with Meeze because I liked the word (say it with me now "Meeze") but it was filled with avatars which, like all animatronics, totally creep me out. You see there was this incident many years ago on the It's a Small World ride at Disney land and ... well... These avatars were especially bad as they just kept jumping around all over the place. Too scary for my poor scarred Psyche so I moved on.



I really liked FDtoys very easy to use so I "Warholed" Walter (the sexist man in anime) . Pretty cool.




I eventually ended up in Glass Giant which has very easy to use image makers. ......






And fun projects such as how to build a siege engine.


and links for fun things. Such as how to build a siege engine.
Very useful. I love educational television.
Then I moved on to Library Thing and Rollyo
Nothing more fun than making learning more Ike work. Perhaps it's just me but really, come on. I tried to make it fun by listing my collection of books that were borrowed from the library and returned many decades late but even that seemed too much like working to me.
Now there is a similar site I really like called bookcrossing.
It is a collection of free range books that people register then "release" into the wild. It is fun to see where your book has been and where it goes after you set it free. I have been specializing in refurbishing old battered books. Sort of a wild book rescue & rehabilitation center. So don't scream when you see something dusty crawling out of the dumpster, singing show tunes, behind your local library. It's probably just me.
As for Rollyo. Love the name (sounds like candy), love the concept, found it boring.
Here is the link if you want to try it out. Really, it's not that bad I just found it well, boring.
Not much of an endorsement but hey, it is, what it is.

Fire you stupid wooden excuse for a seige engine. Where are the laser cannons? Where are the heatseekers? What are these bloody rocks for?!
