Robot Cartoons: RoboHash
Ever wish you had a robot variant of yourself? I was always kind of curious. As an avid reader of manga One Piece, I’ve always been a huge fan of the cyber-character named Frankie. Source: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/10/28/one-piece-plot-summary-recap/ Regardless, I never had a robot to call my own. Unfortunately, I’m not technologically-savvy enough to build my own and take a picture of it. I’d love to have a robot that was totally unique from everyone else’s though, just so we don’t clash profile pictures. Luckily, I came across RoboHash. RoboHash is a service that allows you to create robot avatars. Simply input some text into the field they provide you with, and they will convert it into a nice unique avatar. Naturally, I was curious about Herbert. I typed it in, and here’s what RoboHash created for me: Not exactly the most realistic representation, but it certainly is very unique. If you’re interested in seeing your robot counterpart, check out RoboHash. By the way, I know the urge to type in funny words is overwhelming — by all means try it out, so long as you don’t get caught. 😉
Movie Posters: iStarin
Ever figured you’d look great on a movie poster? I’d always wanted to be on the cover of Rush Hour or Get Him to the Greek. The folks at iStarin have obviously heard our mental pleas, and have created this neat website where you can upload a picture of yourself and put it into a movie poster. iStarin has a huge variety of posters to choose from — ranging in all genres and eras. Unfortunately, they did not have Get Him to the Greek at the time of writing. I settled for this poster: How’d I fit my head in so perfectly? Turns out iStarin has a great method for adjusting the face once it gets into the picture: Realistically, I’m not certain that Lord Voldemort has such nice eyebrows. (Apparently one is fading.) Either way, I think it turned out quite nicely. 🙂 I’m not too huge a fan of the www.iStarin.com URL on the bottom-right hand side of that poster, but what can I do? It’s a great free service. If you liked what you saw, check out iStarin.
