Scribble, doodle, dabble and draw.Every day a randomly generated squiggly line is generated as a muse. Go forth and create a wonder of pixelated goodness. [Shockwave and Flash required]

tsk tsk getting metafilter posts from yahoo daily picks again?

Actually I quit liked this little toy. Its rare these days to have to try to show some talent without the aid of photoshop or something simmilar.

*Kicks dirt.* You caught me there KnitWit. Alas, it is a fun exercise to start the day before coding. I agree -- it is a challenge to show creativity. More so, not by using Photoshop, but drawing something from the wiggle that isn't obvious or cliche.

In the late 70s/ early 80s, there was a cartoon show on in LA (on KTLA) that featured Popeye, Super Chicken and others. The host, Tom Hatten, used to recieve mail from viewers that contained "squiggles." He would randomly choose one and open it on set and proceed to sit down and finish off the squiggle. Just like this link. That brought back Sunday morning memories. Thanks pedantic.

I can't tell if my doodles are so bad because I suck, or because I am using a trackball. Let's assume trackball.
