I’m pretty sure I can find lots of ways to get into trouble with this Custom Eye Chart generator.

I know it’s not Valentine’s Day, but I have a thing about writing silly messages on candy hearts. For years, I’ve used the generator at ACME Labs, but the text it allows is very limited. Lo and behold, the folks at Cryptogram have made a candy heart generator that’s a little more flexible.

Probably not an art tool, but a good toy to bookmark for Facebook friend birthdays.
