TREKKING YOURSELF IS GREAT
A friend sent me this over an hour ago and I've only now been able to stop playing with it long enough to post. At TrekYourself, you can upload any head-on photo and make it into a creepy, monotone, CGI Star Trek character! As you probably can tell from my handiwork above (a character I've cleverly dubbed "Spoq"), it's fucking great. Plus, nearly as great, the site has this ridiculous Cheez-Its-in-Space theme; the intro features a bevy of the snack crackers forming the Star Trek logo. Cheez-Its and warp-speed space travel have been irrevocably linked, and we're all better for it.
Hear Spoq's utterly realistic speaking voice:
I don't know how I'm going to get anything else done today when I haven't even started uploading photos from the animal kingdom yet.
(Edited to place talking version below the cut, because some people hate surprises.)

Stephen Fry Voicing Chesire Cat, Tony Blair Doing White Rabbit
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland just got posher. Yesterday, Stephen Fry "did a Twitter," as they say, revealing he's lending his voice to the Chesire Cat in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland: Playing Cheshire Cat. Smug, complacent, cheese-eating grin... -
