CSI Image Enhancer

Anyone who takes digital pictures gets a real kick out of how crime investigators on the CSI TV shows use their computers to zoom in and enhance photographs, as if you could really zoom in to just a few pixels and see a legible image. Now you can! The CSI Image Enhancer lets you zoom in on a photograph just by typing furiously and saying “enhance!” Well, really, all you have to do is type furiously. Try this one as an example. Upload your own photos to make a personal enhancement of your own. Link -via b3ta

Raindrop Melody Maker

Click on the raindrops to make a melody, which will loop for you in this interactive page from Lullatune. Click the green clock for a metronome if you like. I managed to make a pleasant tune and played it for quite some time while I surfed the ‘net. Link -via Arbroath
Personas

Personas is an application that searches your name on the web and returns a profile of what it finds. Mine is pictured.
Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, currently on display at the MIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab. It uses sophisticated natural language processing and the Internet to create a data portrait of one’s aggregated online identity. In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you.
I was surprised to see I had more “sports” in my profile than anything else -must’ve been the Olympics. And it’s nice that my “legal” was bigger than my “illegal”! But the most interesting part was seeing all those things people said about me while it was processing. The one that stands out was “Your inquiry ‘Miss Cellania is an idiot’ did not return any results.” Ha! (Of course, now that I’ve written it out, there will be results for that query.) Try your own name and puzzle over the results. Link -via the Presurfer
Insert "The Cheeky Squirrel" Into Your Own Photo
The "cheeky squirrel," originally posted at National Geographic and made famous by Neatorama’s own Upcoming Queue, has now gone viral on the internet.
Hundreds of photos, including many famous ones, have been modified by adding the ground squirrel. Now you can do so with your own photo or one of your favorites from the web.
The simplest generator I’ve encountered is "The Squirrelizer." You cannot, however, upload an image from your computer; you will need to
use one that has a url (stored somewhere on a blog or in an
image library such as Imageshack).
After that, the generator is intuitive. If you don’t have an online account where you can store the image, just take a screen shot of your creation.

Dinosaur Twitter

I’ve had some fun today with this generator that marries random Twitter updates with the graphics from Dinosaur Comics. The generator was created by Idefex, who enlarged upon an idea from Bing. Hit the link, then refresh to get new text with your dinosaurs. Link -via Metafilter

I made this nifty little word search puzzle featuring Neatorama authors, features, and favorite subjects! See if you can find these words:

You can make your own custom word search, too! Link -via Bits and Pieces
iDaft

Those of you who are sick of Daft Punk can skip to the next item. Those who aren’t can try mixing your own version of “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” with the iDaft Console. I spent way too much time playing with this! Link -via Metafilter
Devolve Me

Upload a picture, and see yourself turned into an much earlier version of human! From left to right, this is me as an Australopithecus afarensis, Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo heidelbergensis. Oh, and as Homo sapiens, too. Link -via J-Walk Blog
Inaugural Speech Generator
In the style of Mad Libs, just plug in some words and this generator will create a speech for Tuesday’s inauguration. I would post the hilarious speech I generated, but that would give too much of the fun away! Link -Thanks, Kate!
Obamicon
Make your own poster in the style of the iconic “Hope” artwork by Shepard Fairey (previously at Neatorama). Use a webcam or upload an existing photo, then add a word or two to make a custom poster. Link -via the Presurfer

Retro Sabotage Super Mario
Remember Retro Sabotage (previously at Neatorama) where you can play hilariously sabotaged classic arcade games? Now they have something new! See if you can figure out what is different about this version of Super Mario Bros. from 1985. You can construct one of your own, too! Link -Thanks, Rico & Tof!
The Benny Hillifier
With The Benny Hillifier, you can add the soundtrak of Yakety Sax by Boots Randolph to any YouTube video. Here’s an example I put together. The Benny Hillifier does not speed up the video, which is the other classic Benny Hill feature. Link -via Digg
Critter Carols

PetCentric offers your dog or cat a personalized holiday greeting to send to his internet friends! The sample above is my daughter’s cat Biscuit. You can select from three songs and several holiday outfits. Link -via Ursi’s Blog
The embedded flash is autoplay, so I put the finished product on the next page.

Mustache Maker

Ever wondered what you would look like with a mustache? An application from Schick lets you add one to a picture and see. I know what I look like with a mustache (not a pretty sight), so I snagged a picture of Alex and gave him a handlebar. See a rather creepy moving version here. You can try out lots of different styles on your own picture (registration required). Link -Thanks, StreetAttack!
