I love cartoons from days gone by and vintage videos that impart a message while being funny and entertaining. These are some videos I've come across in my wanderings. Most of them are in the public domain. You'll find them on my websites enhancing the messages or making a point all their own.

I'll share pics with you as I find those that entertain and impart a life lesson. See the Featured Vintage Cartoon section below for my latest discovery. You'll find previously featured cartoons further down the page. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Don't forget to leave a comment!

Computer geeks love their computers and can work under any circumstances while others stand or relax on their heads!

A CNN reporter shared his discovery of "wordles" on the night of the 2010 State of the Union Address. He took the entire speech and created a Wordle from it. His was in black and white. Truly impressive. This is my first attempt to make one. So how is it done?

I used the words from this Squidoo lens. But you can also grab the RSS feed from your blog. Or use the URL of a page from the web. Or cut and paste the phrases you want to use. The Wordle engine smashes all the words together then gives you the opportunty to select fonts, colors and various effects. Voila! An image of epic profundity!

The original wordle was too big to fit here. I used the GIMP image tool (like photoshop, but free) to scale it down.

You can make your own or use those saved by others over at http://www.wordle.net. You can find all the Wordles I've created here.
