The Generator Blog Rip-off

Thanks to one of my visitors my attention was drawn to a site called The Generator Kid. The site is maintained by someone called Karthik from India.

Karthik from India has not only copied the complete content of my site (archives as well), he also uses my email address and he even uses my name in the 'posted by Gerard' line.
The site can be found here.

I'm not sure whether I can do something about this. I can't contact Karthik directly since, like I said, he/she uses my email address. The comments system, which he/she copied also, doesn't work.

I am posting this here so that maybe Karthik is reading this and may have the decency to take that site offline.

Garbage Pail Kid Generator.

Garbage Pail Kids is a series of trading cards produced by the Topps Company, originally released in 1985. Each sticker card featured a Garbage Pail Kid character, with some comical abnormality or suffering some terrible fate, and a humorous, word play-rich character name.

Now you can make your own Garbage Pail Kid. You have to register first but you can type in anything you want and you don't have to give your email address. I created this Garbage Pail Kid.

3D Stereogram Generator.

Stereograms are 3D images hidden within another picture. In order to view the images, you must simply stare at the picture until the image starts to take shape. I never managed to see anything in stereograms.

In the picture below I generated a stereogram in which the word 'generator' is hidden, but I can't see it.

Subdivision Name Generator.

You see signs for them on the highway and in the real estate classifieds - bucolic-sounding paradises where the McMansions are comfortingly similar and people with better lives live in a placid state of coma.

Create your own subdivision name, like:

Green Aphid Chase, Bent Cave Acres, or Fallen Squirrel Willows.
