Website of the Day: Kyolo

GeekSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:01:21 -0700

Growing up, my parents' friend use to take a ton of photos of me and my sisters and then send them to us covered with bubble balloon stickers that had funny sayings on them. Now that I'm older, I can appreciate a good speech bubble every now and then, and since most of us have gone digital, there's gotta be an easy way to add speech bubbles to digital pics.

Yes there is, and it's called Kyolo. With Kyolo you just upload your pic, type the text into the bubble, adjust the size and that's it! Such a great way to amuse friends and family. The only downer is the fact that the image quality greatly reduces after the bubble is created, which is a total bummer if you like taking high-res pics like myself.

Dale Was Third in Line Last Year, First in Line This Year

"I'm not a fan of Apple in particular. I'm a fan of anyone who understands the power of good design (understood in the broad sense) and delivers a fantastic end-to-end experience," says Dale Larson, who landed himself the prime real estate spot in front San Francisco's Apple store. Yes, Dale was first in line when Apple employees opened their doors this morning for the iPhone 3G launch, unlike last year when Dale had two other eager shoppers ahead of him. At least he was dressed to impress for the second year in a row!

The Wait Begins: iPhone Line In Downtown SF

San Francisco may be behind New York City when it comes to the iPhone launch queue, but the crowd has begun to assemble. At the very front of the line of downtown San Francisco's Apple Store is Jerry Taylor, who told us he has never stood in line for a gadget before. Taylor lives a couple blocks away and set up his blanket, chair and sidewalk desk this morning at 10 am. He said his friends were bringing him food later tonight and that he hopes to buy two iPhones tomorrow when they are released.

Second in line is David Young, an engineer at Slide, who said a bunch of his coworkers are joining him later (he's the guy in the Aviator glasses and black shirt). Third in line is Dale Larson, who is the director of mobile and internet marketing at Donordigital (he's wearing a blue colored shirt and black pants). Larson seems to be the manager of the line operation and is keeping a list of everyone's place. Fourth in line is a group of clowns from Peepshowminigolf.com that's been entertaining crowds with a small mini golf set up. Unlike 5th Avenue's Greg Parker, they all have their shirts on, but they promise they are going to "party San Francisco style" tonight.
