i think this may be my favorite new time suck. stripgenerator.com lets users create small 3 frame comic strips with little or no artistic talent. it’s a pretty cool flash app that let’s you add, position & scale a library full of little figures, items, beings, text boxes, etc… plus, it has a nifty little drag and drop interface that makes it very fun to play with. you can even add colors and upload your own graphics (still gotta figure that one out).

for us who have kids out there, you’ve most probably played the games on noggin.com and nickjr.com. of course they’re so saccharine and branded for our little ones that they’re no fun for adults, but stripgenerator lets adults play to their hearts delight - and let me tell you there are some pretty cool ones out there. you can even create a strip blog with the provided tools and invite friends to follow your characters.

if you thought that making little comics was kid’s play, you’ll be surprised at how difficult it actually is to put together a short story in 3 frames. it just proves once again the obsession with comic strips and why we love the sunday funnies. where’s my hagar?

oldest domains

while researching DNS and domain names i came across these two interesting lists, courtesy of tgdaily.com. the first is a list of the oldest domains and there are some pretty cool tidbits in the article. the second is the complete list of root domain names. this list contains all country, private and sponsored domains. so if you’re looking to buy a domain in kyrgyzstan or you find out you hace $18,000,000 in a bank with a country code of .nu, you’ll know where to look for it.
