New Toys

Museum man

I normally only see new internet toys after 9,000 other people seem to have recommended them, but I haven't seen Dumpr.Net get much play. It's a website that interacts with your Flickr account to generate modified versions of the photos you already have uploaded. For example, I took my shot of Kriston under red light and used Dumpr's Museumr program that places your photo inside a frame at one of several museums around the world.

They have various other features, though in my opinion the Museum one is the best. And if for some reason you don't have a Flickr account, you can just upload a photo from your hard drive. But why don't you have a Flickr account?

Something to chew over while contemplating the rise of the blipster ("a person who is black and also can be stereotyped by appearance, musical taste, and/or social scene as a hipster"). Crucial back context provided by The Onion's classic look (from the part of the paper that isn't jokes) at "Alternative Rock Radio's Race Problem."

I don't get the transition from talking about that website to talking about black hipsters.
