This site gives you an opportunity to transform your face in a variety of ways (ethnicity, age progression/regression, artistic rendition by great painters, etc.). Below is the gallery of my face created from the site.
The last three photos were an experiment. I used a photo of myself as a child to see how accurate it was on how I would look now, as an adult, and later, as an old man. I also think I’d make a kickass anime character.

Artist Maisie Broadhead originally trained as a jeweller and now produces fine art photographic parodies. Her work is being featured as part of a ground-breaking exhibition at the National Gallery. As part of the exhibition Jack Cole and Maisie Broadhead directed a video to be hung next to the 1844 photographic print by Hill and Adamson that it references. It was Produced by Cap Gun Collective, Edited by James Norris at Whitehouse London and Post and VFX by Carbon FX. It recently aired on Channel 4’s “Random Acts”.
Due to my own need, and a few gracious reaI’ve updated this template on my original post, here, to include additional form elements (radio buttons, checkboxes, form and combo box fields) as well as the original vector scrollbars to make it easier to mock-up UIs in Adobe Illustrator.
In the past, I’d had a few more DIY photologs (Making a Closet, Making a Patio, Making a Genovese) and thought it was about time that I put a new one online.
Last month, our Linux sandbox server died—presumably from heat prostration. So while we were shopping around for a new one, we thought: “wouldn’t it be better if we just built the server ourselves rather than ordering some pre-fab system that doesn’t really suit our needs?” (tons of fans, Debian Lenny/Linux, small, etc.). The parts arrived a few days later. Above is a gallery of the server construction. I’m happy to report that for the last few weeks, the server has been quietly humming without any problems.
Here’s a the step-by-step process of the server’s installation. Below the gallery, you can see a list of the parts we ordered.

Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight is legendary. So is Tom Waits.
If these thoughts seem disconnected, you clearly need to watch this video.
The 1979 Australian TV interview with then 29-year-old Waits has been making the viral rounds on the Internet this weekend, and for good reason — Waits’ voice is virtually indistinguishable from Ledger’s memorably creepy Joker. The only difference? Waits is speaking this way in real life.
Also worth noting is interviewer Don Lane’s impressive — and presumably unintentional — rendition of Phil Hartman’s Frank Sinatra impression.
The two share a genuinely awkward (read: hilarious) conversation — witness Waits struggling to sit up and Lane attempting to avoid second-hand smoke to no avail.
Ledger’s extreme commitment to his role as The Joker has been a topic of interest for years, particularly after the actor’s untimely death.
But it seems that a little credit may be due to Waits’s unique voice — and perhaps even his casually bizarre demeanor.

I’ve added a new image to my “don mots” collection. See the growing gallery, here.
My new design for a friend’s tattoo has been featured on The Daily Glyph. The design is an homage to Herb Lubalin and based roughly on the font Antique Ancienne (note his studio logo, at that link).
