Picture time fun

Blogger in Draft is tinkering with the photo interface, so I've been noodling with random pictures to see how it works. This post is an excuse to play. Perhaps you will notice the pictures change size and move around!

In order to find the random pictures, I'm using my latest dum-head internet game:
  1. Get a random page from Wikipedia
  2. Search for the random thing on Google Image Ripper.
Let's play!

First the random article: Fanny Normann.

She was Max Schreck's wife, and had a part in Nosferatu, so when I put it in the ripper, the first image to pop up is a screen shot of her:

  • Some pictures of an audience.
  • Pictures of chairs
  • A fish and a cellphone in an aquarium
  • Two pictures of Natalie Portman
  • Some LOLcats
  • An antique print of Sam Houston
  • A clipping from an antique book about pies.
This is great.

Here's another go:

The random article: "Liberty Corner"

Score!

Look at this neat old store:



They don't make em like that anymore.

And this gorgeous old map:
