It's official. I am in love with The Generator Blog. I spent a good three hours playing around on there and following links to all sorts of fun stuff. I can't imagine who has enough time to hunt down all of these online toys and post about them, but I'm sure glad someone does. I already posted my Meez character the other day, but I thought that in the spirit of the great communal love of The Simpsons, I should immortalize myself as a resident of Springfield using the Simpsons Avatar Generator. I didn't come out looking TOO accurate, but the fact that I can have a fist on my shirt amuses me because one of my favorite albums of late has been Rabbit Fur Coat by Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins, and on that album, there is a song called "Rise Up With Fists!!!" (exclamation marks included in the song title). So the shirt makes me laugh because I can at least be a Jenny Lewis fan in Springfield.
I also got a kick out of FD Toys' Badge Maker on the Flickr site. Yes, it's official: I am a huge geek because I made the following graphic.
But come on...you know you laughed. My avatar is in the last post, so you can check it out there. This was a fun exercise. It was nice to play a bit after the technical complications of the Bloglines activity.

You can simpsonize yourself on www.SimpsonizeMe.com (pretty cute for making Simpsons avatars that look like you)
Some other simpson image generators on www.CustomSignGenerator.com
Hey, thanks! I'll be sure to check out the SimpsonizeMe site because the generator they provided for the movie felt like it didn't have enough options to make a really accurate one. Although I suppose that begs the question how much like yourself can you really look with yellow skin and no irises...
You might want to try www.flmnetwork.com/generators
There are some themed designs, but there are tons of formats, and you have control over text placement, fonts, colors, etc.
