Go Spock Yourself!

It's an idea so brilliant, I wish I had thought of it (though that gimmicked Google street view art project Josh linked to made me a bit jealous as well) ... in preparation for the upcoming Star Trek movie you can make yourself into a Star Trek character.   Is it perfect?   Well, no, anything that requires some manual input in a system I don't yet understand will be quirky but that is mostly my fault.    Side by side, the pic I gave them and what they said is my Star Trek character. Not too bad, actually, though I seemed to have set the width for the eyes strangely (you'll see what I mean if you try it).

Okay, I know on a science site I should have picked Spock.   But I am a Kirk guy and always have been.
