Lorum Ipsum no more

When I build websites I’m always heading over to Google to look for some Greek filler text. You know the stuff I’m on about, it goes something like Lorum, Ipsum, sit dolor something something.

I got a little bored of staring at that and thought about all the wasted brain power I lost reading it so hunted for something a little more inspiring!

I posed the question on the Social Web and out came the wonderful little app called Fillerati

It’s an html5 css3 full of goodness app that creates filler text from old classics like Huck Finn and Alice in wonderland :

‘When we were little,’ the Mock Turtle went on at last, more calmly, though still sobbing a little now and then, ‘we went to school in the sea. The master was an old Turtle—we used to call him Tortoise—’

‘Why did you call him Tortoise, if he wasn’t one?’ Alice asked.

‘We called him Tortoise because he taught us,’ said the Mock Turtle angrily: ‘really you are very dull!’

‘You ought to be ashamed of yourself for asking such a simple question,’ added the Gryphon; and then they both sat silent and looked at poor Alice, who felt ready to sink into the earth. At last the Gryphon said to the Mock Turtle, ‘Drive on, old fellow! Don’t be all day about it!’ and he went on in these words:

‘Yes, we went to school in the sea, though you mayn’t believe it—’

So next time you’re heading over to Greece why not grab some classic instead?
