A variety of things in the real world are keeping me from blogging lately, but I thought I'd share a fun discovery that should amuse and/or terrify you.
As I've mentioned, I recently got a new computer. It happens to have a built-in camera that works with the included Photo Booth application. In the process of messing around with this, I noticed that it has some effects that you can apply to photos. Join me in the extended entry as I explore a few...

Kind of fun, but mostly boring. However, let's see what happens if I make myself a comic book character:

On balance, this one is probably better.
