Delicious! Introducing Lorem Ipscream ♨

Hello beloved IB-ers,

I'm excited to announce the launch of a pet project I've been working on over the last few months. Lorem Ipscream is an experimental parlor of generative algorithms that produce fake data.

Kick off your career as an Emo Rockstar with "Sailing Three Tuesdays," as it generates lyrics to your hit-single ballad of whining:

You don’t wanna be you.
And what you want is nothing more than liberty.
You don’t want to go.
Burn it all. for someone just like you can see you’re in bed everywhere we go if not your memories.
You never had no one to confide in.
You don’t have love?

Or forge a new identity with "Soylent Cream," which will give you vitals so convincing, its like the person really exists:

Mary Lang
Female
686-56-1064
5/23/1912
Cantrell
6443 Greenacre Street
Philadelphia, PA 19181

Developers can even plug into the REST API to leverage any of the flavors for their own project! So come on over and sample "Chunky Bacon", "Mint Chocolate Czech," and all of the other weird flavors I made.

Thanks to the Chefs at IconBuffet for the inspiration and original Ice Cream graphic. Enjoy!

Yummy!

it doesn't fit in my browser, and the flavor "links" don't do anything, but i like the idea and design!

Whacky!

Great stuff!

well done

misterhaan on Jul 20, 2007

wait -- i figured it out! the flavor "links" just put text below the large logo on the left, which is below the bottom of my browser window and not reachable through scrolling.

you might want to set your browser to 800x600 and look at your site again.

Yeah, I still need to figure out the verical resizing thing...

Thanks for the input!

Yes, I think it's a problem because your logo is too big. You could make your logo a background image, resize it, or perhaps put the generated stuff below the flavors themselves.
