They weren't kidding when they said this could get addictive. Some of the mashups were fun, and I could see how they could be used in either the library or my personal life. Others were fun to play with, but I really couldn't see myself using them for much. I don't really think I'd use Clockr, and while Color Pickr was neat I don't see myself using it for much. However! I love some of the Big Huge Labs functions - I've made a few of the motivational signs and now I find myself looking for pictures I could make signs with. :-) I also made an "ID badge" and that was kind of fun. I like the Captioner from Shady Dentist too, but it looks like you need fairly large sized pictures (Or short captions) for it to work well. Plus, I couldn't figure out a good way to upload it here. Big Huge Labs captioner didn't work on my computer at all. I posted a motivational poster above.
The Motivational signs could be used to make humorous reminders about things like cell phone use, food in the library etc. They could also make funny posters for staff's enjoyment. Captioner could be used for training materials as well as for fun. Spell with Flickr would be useful for fun signage - teen or children's areas, for example. Most of the mashups could be used for something in the library! I also uploaded a trading card I made.

I love your idea about using motivational signs in the library for reminders about cell phones, etc. Is that what your orange kitty was posing for?
:-) The orange kitty is one I found online, but looks like one of my nephew's cats - which would make me their Great-Aunt?
