Kent Brewster (from the Yahoo Developer Network) has created another cool hack making use of the Flickr photos API: Ransomizr (Kent’s blog entry). Ransomizr makes use of the Flickr “One letter pool”, a collection of photos of single A-Z letters found in the real world. Type in a short message and it will be drawn in ransom-letter style. Kent also includes the HTML code snippet so you can use the result in your blog, MySpace, or wherever.
We have your Ipod!
If you ever want to see it again then you must leave 100 pounds in the coffe tin on floor 3!
You have untill 4pm.....
Mr Schiavone -
We have your Tequila!
(and boy is it good shit!)
Play by our rules and no one gets hurt!
There is a ransom to pay if you want to see said Tequila alive! I believe you know what the ransom is...so don't play games with us!
Do not involve the cops or you can kiss your Tequila good-bye!

If you ever want to see Matt Welt again, you will leave 10000 thousand dollars in unmarked bills at PT desk 2
Look I know what you did to me and I will tell the world unless you keep paying me.
Where is the money you promised? This won't look good if it gets out.
I won't go quietly into the night.
