From a post by intralimina:

I’ve never been one for the Commercialization of holidays.
“Hallmark Holidays” kinda twig me. The concept that President’s Day is specifically a day to get great deals on used cars, kinda makes me sick….
That being said… I suppose I should acknowledge that this day becomes different for me. My father having passed a few years back now, the family responsibility to become mildly curmudgeonly today becomes mine.
So, I should continue the tradition by sharing a moment from one of my father’s favourite films.
Below the cut is a piece of footage that made him very happy. I’d make a comment that it is Not safe for work… But it is… It’s just not really safe for anything else. It’s just disturbing. 🙂
So to all the other dads out there (shudder in self realization), and the ones that are soon to be (waves to H.S.) This one’s for all of you. But specifically it’s for my dad. It made him happy. He was a strange man.
I have been on the search for a good online avatar.
Most online avatars never quite get to where I want. I suppose it’s because I have that combination “NOT A MULLET” hair and a vaguely Tevye-esque face. Don’t get me started on the Chinese Master beard.
An early attempt brought me an icon that looks more like azadio
So yesterday I found a new service… They are doing animated avatars (for a charge) that are based on digitizing pictures of you. Everything from nose to chin are pretty much photo realistic. The eyes are close. The forehead… generic. Then you slap on one of the chosen hairstyles. They add a business suit (male or female)
The results… sometimes spooky, sometimes.. not too bad… sometimes.. .just awful.
This is a small version of mine:
I’ve put larger versions of this and some others that I’ve done behind the cut. (Teaser: including aiden_freeman at about 4.)
If you’d like me to do one for you all I need is a good face shot of you:
Neutral background is best
Neutral expression is best
Full front on face
Balanced lighting
At least 250 px to a side
But if you’re interested, comment and we’ll try any picture you have.
Does it have to be lordandrei?
Does it have to be mine?
