Well I guess with All-Star game voting over, I should get another post up!
If you haven’t already, might I suggest making your own The Simpsons avatar over on The Simpsons Movie website.

I reckon you’ll be able to ‘insert’ your avatar into some flash-driven Springfield environment, but the people icon on the billboard is still ‘COMING SOON’, so this option isn’t set yet. Maybe it’ll open up after the launch of the movie. For the time being you can create and continually edit your avatars, name them, change their fashion sensibilities, give them a tan, etc.
From Mii avatars for the Nintendo Wii to fantasy avatars created for online environments like World of Warcraft, or contemporary artists interpretation of avatars in virtual worlds such as Second Life (Richard Minsky once mentioned at a talk at Location One that business people pay him to make them avatars to look like themselves, so when they meet their business partners in real-life, they will recognize each other!), avatars are quickly outnumbering real-world bodies. I mean I must have at least a couple dozen myself!
Postulate: by 2010 over a billion avatars will be created every year.
did you add your simpsons to the Flickr Pool???
I haven’t, but to do that I’d also have to upload a non-photo image to my Flickr account, which I haven’t done yet. I guess this is as good a reason as any to cross that boundary, but I kind of wanted to maintain it with only images from digital cameras, not digital works also. but alas, it is The Simpsons!
i am your biggest fan
nuh uh!
