I took a look at the sites that were linked on the assignment page and tried out a few, like the scolling typewriter text at screedbot. I'm sure I will go back and explore a few more of them further at some point. To really mess around online, though, I figured I'd try the Meez image generator. I noticed that a few other people (those "all caught up" types) had used it and thought it was pretty good stuff. And now, of course, I have yet another username and password to remember. I created an avatar that is definitely a much-better-looking version of me. Now to see if I can get it to show up here.
Looks like it worked. If only I was really that thin...
