Take Fun Photos With Your Webcam (Flash)
www.SillyWebcam.com is a new web site (new domain name too) I set up recently where you can make pix from your live webcam video. Obviously you will need a web cam to play around (even some games and funny time wasters), but you will also need Adobe Flash addon for your web browser to run the webcam tools.
Here are the webcam image making tools (save pics to hard drive):
- Fake Magazine Covers (put your face on the cover of 500 fake and popular magazine cover overlays)
- Silly Scenes (funny Flash overlays that put you in a different time or place, take a pic, 100 layouts)
- World's Best Award (choose from 250 certificates to put your video capture in)
- Greeting Cards (mini templates, add personalized text message, over 200 styles)
- Your Face On Another Body (choose from 400 body scenes, use webcam, save JPG to your computer)
- Borders (borders and edges to spruce up a webcam, capture a digital photo, 50 templates)
- Frames (museum/gallery quality mirror frames, take a snapshot with a nice frame, 25 overlays)
- 500 Hairstyles: Women's short, medium, long, wedding, funky, up or mens (pics for hairstylists)
- Instant Photo (just capture 480X360 pixel up-to-date images of yourself without any effects)

Image Generator Using Live Video From Your Webcam
Live webcam interaction and manipulation (even movement detection/motion sensing games in the works), see a DEMO/BETA/TEST project HERE (video goo, distort your live video with the mouse, very cool). You will soon be able to do many cool visual effects and then save snaps as JPG files or just play around with your web camera out of boredom. Also we will be making most of our photo tricks capable of using your web cams (semi working EXAMPLE, you can use web cam to eventually snap an image inside a magazine cover and save to your computer once we are out of BETA testing).
By April 15th (2008) we hope to have a good start on this so hurry back!

New Online Photo Layout Editor Tool
The new layout tool offers drag and drop, clickable buttons to control all the funtions and even keyboard keys interact with the application! I even added the ability to rotate your images (although it has some glitches to be worked on). This will be incorporated into the other photograph mash-up tools @ http://www.fototrix.com/.
It's much fun putting your face on another person's body, just as long as it is easy to do so!
PLEASE HELP! The coding still has some issues, the biggest being when you rotate an image, it is off kilter when you process the final JPEG image (math using ActionScript vs ASP/PHP, the rotation processes do not match up). Maybe some experts can advise me on things to do to make it better (just make a comment to reply)?

Insult Generator With A Custom URL Domain Name
The above random insulter is a Flash animation that loads 20 random (from a database of 1,000 insults) each time it is loaded.
My newest site is www.is-a-jerk.com :)
I had noticed that one of my old time favorite sites YouAreLame.com was down for a while so I tried to make a clone of it with more added features (added ecard sender, HTML codes for copy & pasting to your pages, added other gag images that dynamically add the victims name, added links to other funny dynamic sites). I came up with the idea of making a personal page generator that allows you to make a "hatepage" for jerks you know (ex boyfriends/girlfriends, politicians, celbrities, rich people, your boss, teachers, coworkers, students, etc.).
You can use a form there to enter a victims name (First Last) or you can just change the web address to something like http://www.george-bush.is-a-jerk.com/ or http://www.your-name.is-a-jerk.com/ (you can use a dot, dash or underscore for space between first and last names). This site has been set up as a prank to send to friends and enimies. You can send an ecard (anonymously) from the site with a custom "hate mail" message and also the person's name entered will be converted to their own custom gag page (if you emailed the name John Doe, they will get an added message like: I googled for John Doe and I found site http://www.john-doe.is-a-jerk.com/ #1 ranking).
You are provided the HTML codes for linking to the page or adding the top flash animation to your blogs/sites. Each generated URL/page has an anymous emailer at the bottom of the page.
Be careful, you may hurt someone's feelings with this web tool!
