mixing up the medicine (thing #10)

This post referers to a Bob Dylan messaging site that lets you create your own messages to Dylan's famous flip card video Subterranean Homesick Blues. There's a way to embed this video into a website - but the code expires every so often - so if you can get it to work in more than a simple email - kudos to you...

The video generator is gone, but this is what the clips looked like and they were awesome. Sucks to not be in 2008 anymore... 





This week's foray into image generators turned up this gem on The Generator Blog and I must say I was pleased as punch to come across it. The autoplay feature now gives my blog a little musical edge to it - and you can still mute it if you find the musical note option in the upper left corner fast enough - but everyone could stand a little more "medicine" in their lives - so why would you want to?

Honorable mention should also go to the haiku generator  (found the link on the same page) which came up with this....

happily, egg rises
humbly, ducks hallucinate
tiredly, seagull speaks

The haiku generator above is broken so I've included another here, with a haiku about homeless people in libraries:


Quiet refuge sought,  
Pages whisper stories warm—  
Hope in the margins.  

Oh - and there are 844 more generators where these 2 came from - so you should definitely stop by and take a peek. Go ahead - I'll wait...

  1. Clever mashup of the Dylan Video. Check out my blog, Librarianne 2.0, for my video response.
