No matter how long I’ve been a web user, I can never stop being amazed at the depth of the online world. There’s just so much stuff out there! OK, granted, there are plenty of bad stuff - but, if you look at the good stuff… Wow! Definitely makes up for all the bad bits, right? I mean - just in this week’s web finds alone, I managed to look at the Internet right way up, upside down, looking back in to the past - and way in to the future. How incredible is all that?
So go, explore, and continue to be amazed at this thing called the web…
1. Flip - ¿uÊ?op Ç?pısdn Ç?ʇıɹÊ? É?uuÉ?Ê? Try this. 
I ‘discovered’ this via Twitter, thanks to Busymom. And no, I promise never to do a full blog post upside down. At least, not today. 
2. 10 Really Useful Greasemonkey Scripts for Flickr - If you’re a Flickrite, you might find some of these scripts useful to install.
3. Photomatix - Want to get in to HDR photography? This software/plugin opens up a new world of post processing goodness for folks interested in digital photography. I haven’t tested it out yet but some of those who recommend it definitely come up with some interesting pics. It works with Win and Mac. There’s a free trial version, but you do have to pay if you want the full thing.
4. Wayback Machine - This is not a new thing. But, I’ve started using this feature from the Internet Archive a bit lately because I needed to recover some old articles I have that have gone missing. Just input the old URL of the web page you’re looking for and - voila! - you get a blast from the web past. Really handy! Definitely had been a lifesaver for me.
5. Skitch - This is a free image editing software for Macs. Lots of cool features - including its own image hosting, FTP, screenshots and video image capture. It works with iPhoto too! I like it a lot, but I find myself missing some of ImageWell’s functions. So, I don’t know if I’ll make a full switch. I’m keeping it in my App folder for now though. Thanks, Jami, for your recommendation!
6. FutureMe - Been wondering what it’ll be like to receive a letter from a past self. I don’t think I’ve ever tried to talk to a ‘future me’ before. Maybe one of these days I’ll try this service - and see what it’s like.
7. Reuse Crafts - I’m not *overly* green, but I do like to try. One of the things I enjoy doing is recycling/reusing stuff, especially for arts and crafts. This page has some nifty ideas that’ll be cool to try one day.
8. Fabric Origami Workshop - I haven’t done origami in years. But, this one looks so fun! And beautiful.
9. Simple Firefox Tricks and Tips - Always something new to learn, huh?
10. Uber - A free service for photographers who wish to create professional-looking portfolios and slideshows. It comes with a photo blog function, and image protection (not sure how), unlimited storage, among others. I haven’t fully tested the service yet, but it looks good. If you’ve given it a go, let me know what you think of it!
Well, that wraps up this week’s finds. So, what’s next to amaze us on the web, I wonder?

I actually just downloaded Skitch the other day but am not real sure what to do with it yet! I also had come across that Future Me in stumble upon, but wasn’t sure I had anything to say to my future self. Now, with the past months developments, I have a pretty good idea. Great WW post once again!

Kari: Let me know if you give Skitch a try. And thanks. Always good to know that you’re enjoying these WW posts.
Gives me the motivation to keep looking for stuff.

Future Me sounds cool… now if we can find a website that sends messages back in time for Past Me, so we can avoid eating the chicken that gave us salmonella, ensure that we buy that pair of high-heeled shoes that made us trip into the arms of some hot dude, or buy Google shares when they first came out!

Nenette: LOL. You’re hilarious.
And yes, I agree. If only!! Especially on that bit about Google shares.
