This morning I was using StumbleUpon to discover new tools, and I happened upon PhotoFunia. What fun it is! The site has a bunch of backgrounds onto which you can impose your own pictures, making it seem like people are looking at your portrait in a gallery or passing you on a billboard. 

It’s free, of course, and very, very easy to use. This video shows how I created a fun graphic in less than 50 seconds.

San Diego real estate broker Kimberly Dotseth turned me on to one of the coolest bargain sites I’ve seen in a long time. Fiverr lets people put up offers to do a kabillion creative, fun jobs for a fiver — five bucks. Here’s a sample of products and services you can buy for five bucks:

I spent about a hundred bucks trying things out, and I was very pleasantly surprised with the results. I’ve been wanting a little video intro for Your Nerdy Best Friend, and I ended up with several videos that range from “eh” to “WOW!” — All for five bucks!
You should watch this video for an overview of the site and a couple of my results. And sign up now for NerdWords, our newsletter, to get a case study of the Fiverr experience.
