Apr 24 2009TREKKING 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.)

Putting something prior to the jump on your web site that emits a loud sound effect is sure to make me not want to visit anymore. Please fix this.

Shove a screwdriver into your hears untill u dont hear it IDIOT

this is brilliant.

Spoq is living the dream! (not quite as much as an Earvin "Magic" Johnson based character but extremely close)

That's pretty amazing and creepy at the same time.

Ha, fun stuff. Not all of us guys named Joe are into roller disco.

starts strangling the "1st joe" with piano wire, has him down, he is kicking like the sheriff in :no country for old men: leaving scuff marks on the floor. i walk out, come back and stops him in the throat just to make sure he won;t ever cry again, ever.

Stuff writer is black?

Erica, are you being serious?

Because the answer is obviously yes. He also starred in Blue Chips along side Nick Nolte and is a volunteer member of the Miami Beach Police Department.

Erica, i detect a note of horrified anguish over the fact that Stuff writer might be black. Turn down the suck, lady.

Apply directly to forehead

LMAO right okay. Shaq just doesn't get a lot of coverage in Sweden, although I should have recognised him still.

But "horrified anguish"? That would have been if I had said, "WTF! Stuff writer is BLACK?!!?"

Who of us is thinking about a new hairdo? Any suggestions?

@ Anne
I'm sure Erica didn't mean that, it's just that most black people are cool. Stuff writer is *supposedly* a geek.
And she probably doesn't watch basketball...

@14 And she probably doesn't watch basketball... or cops.
...Bad boy bad boys...

Misinterpret that!

Trek yourself before you wreck yourself?

I SPENT LIKE AN HOUR MAKING ONE

14: By saying "most black people are cool" you are implying that they are better than all other races. That makes you RACIST. Just sayin'.

I thought that picture was Shaq being 'trekked'.

... whoa...

Shaq writes IWATCHSTUFF.com?
