Thing 6

I neglected to mention third party applications in my previous Flickr post... probably because I didn't really like any I tried. I made a Warhol print with a picture of my son - but Warhol did it before me and frankly, did it better. I made a mosaic thingy - the first one didn't have enough pictures and just looked like a bunch of tiles, the second one had too many and I couldn't focus on it. Then I tried retrievr, in which you draw a sketch and it searches flickr for similar images. I drew an amulet, and got lots of pictures of kids. I drew a mouse, and got lots of pictures of kids. I drew a cat's ears, and got lots of pictures of kids. At which point I decided that manipulating images just isn't my thing and the results don't justify the bother. But one third party app which I do like is the uploading tool, as mentioned before.

Doesn't it make you wonder that whatever you tried to draw you got pictures of kids?
