Wednesday Websites & Friday Freeware

Because of the holiday, Wednesday's and Friday's posts will be combined. In this post I'll share some interesting websites to check out and some programs you can download, all free of course.

First up, create a font out of your own handwriting. What is a font you say? The style of lettering that shows when you type. One cool way to personalize your typing is to have your own printing or cursive as the font.  It's easy to do and you can get started here. You have to print the first page out, put your writing on it, then let your webcam capture the page so the program can create your font.

Another cool font related site for the artistic types is Fontstruct. Create any font you want from grunge, grafitti, stylish or crazy. You can be as creative as you want.

vozMe is a website and a program you can download. It is a text to speech program which can read your emails, documents or any other written text. Tired of reading? Let vozMe read it for you.

Create your own radio station and stream it over the internet for all to hear. Play your favorite songs, take requests from your friends, whatever you want, it's your radio station. See the short video on setting up.

Finally, play thousands of Nintendo Games while you surf the net, for free. Check this video for the super easy way to do this.

Have a good weekend, download the math videos and worksheets and get a head start.
