Found two neat websites that are worth "mentioning" -- Text-Image.com and Mentionmap.

What are they? Well here's the down-low.

Text-Image.com -- Generate cool text-images from your own pictures or photos. Perhaps an oldie, but still a goodie. Pretty amazing.

Mentionmap -- If you use Twitter, you will appreciate this web app. It creates an interactive spider-web-style map of your Twitter network. Great for finding new people to follow.

If you enjoy the sound of an old school typewriter, then you will love Qwertick. It is a simple application (33kb exe) that adds that great click-click sound that has been missing from the office since the early 90's. I always use it when I am typing blog entries.

A description of the app from the developer's site:

"Qwertick is a tool to add a sound feedback to your keyboard. Unlike some other more sophisticated tools of such kind, it does not try to overwhelm you with loads of funny but impractical sound themes. Instead, Qwertick focuses on only one - the sound of an old typewriter, a time-proven assistance that benefits creativity for generations. With small and simple Qwertick you do not need megabytes of bells and whistles to be inspired while writing."

Nothing like the sound of a typewriter to get the creative juices flowing...
