Toys for Library and Book Geeks

I’m always fiddling around on the internet when I should be working, but you all reap the benefit. I’ve found some great online toys for library geeks and book lovers. Check these out if you haven’t already:

created using Amaztype

Amaztype: This great toy generates a movie of continuously piling media by an author, musician, director, or actor. So a search for “Jane Austen” under books, would make a picture of the name “Jane Austen” made entirely of covers from her novels. Coolmungous!

Catalog card generator: Do you miss your card catalog? No? Well most people don’t. But, you can generate your own nifty catalog cards with your own text with this nifty toy from blyberg.net.
