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.
