I’ve just finished having fun after a friend in Facebook shared with me a site called YearbookYourself.com. The Flash-enabled app takes your uploaded photo and transforms it into a yearbook-like pose that you can select, ranging from the 1950s up to the year 2000.

I downloaded the snapshot of every one of the photos I generated through the site.

Original photo for YearbookYourself.com

Here are a few of the yearbook photos generated which in my opinion are as hot as real ol’ me (in other words, laugh your head off):

And if I were a dude in 1956, I’d be a damn fine looking one:

Have a look at my Flickr to see the whole set, or see some scary photos of countless of other people who have used YearbookYourself.com.

It’s bookmarking clearing time, which means that I’m stashing a couple of worthy sites out for everyone’s enjoyment.

TechChee recently blogged about a Google-styled Monopoly game that Box.net calls Googolopoly (’cause Google does seem like they’re monopolizing the Internet, get it?). You play the game the same way you would Monopoly; instead of using money, and setting up houses and hotels, you use shares and recruiting developers and setting up servers. The estates featured on the boards are also changed — what used to be MayFair and Park Lane (or Boardwalk and Park Place if you’re in the States), are now Microsoft and Yahoo!. All you need to play this game is to download the PDF file containing your shares, cards and boards, then print them out and you’re raring to go!

I found this next tool through my routine bloghopping, though I forgot to bookmark the original blog post that featured it. BuiltWith.com is a comprehensive technology and SEO profile tool that helps you analyze your site on numerous aspects of your site, from the technology and software running your blog, to search engine ranking, and even the value of your site. In layman terms, it checks your SEO, your blog’s social networks, analytics used, and so forth. I particularly like the tool’s integration with third party sites like Compete.com (rank checker), Who Is Hosting This (shows who your actual hosting provider is, instead of your reseller), You Get Signal (how many domains shares your IP), and many more. Here’s WebGrrrl.net’s profile at BuiltWith if you’re interested to see it.
