What are you going to write in that card?  Mrs. Bell has just posted a list of tips for writing sweet messages.  My favorite tip: make joyful reference to the future (”You. Me. Snuggles. Tonight.”)  Wahey!

Now when you make a picture or animation on our site, you can save it with a short URL, such as http://makesweet.com/test on our site itself.  This skips the step of downloading and emailing or posting elsewhere.  Just look for the “save to” option on high-resolution pictures and animations.  Enjoy!

What is in your pocketses, my precious? Today, there should be a poem, at least if you live in New York city. Poems eh? When is the last time you read one? Almost forgot that they existed? Well they do. Here’s part of one I like (Among School Children, Yeats), where he basically sums up all of philosophy:

Plato thought nature but a spume that plays

Solider Aristotle played the taws
Upon the bottom of a king of kings;
World-famous golden-thighed Pythagoras
Fingered upon a fiddle-stick or strings
What a star sang and careless Muses heard:
Old clothes upon old sticks to scare a bird.

I like Aristotle’s approach, very solid.

Yet another picture manipulation design, the shoulder-tattoo design: paste a picture or text onto a shoulder as a tattoo. The picture can either contain transparency, or alternatively brighter colors will be interpreted as more transparent. A silly example:

Announcing two new 3D blends: billboards and wine bottles. An example of what you can do:

For the wine bottle design, you have control of what appears on the label of the bottles.
