I’ve wanted a cartoon image of myself for my website for a while now. So, when I came across CartoonMe.com I figured there wasn’t much to lose for $3.
Check out the results.
All I had to do was send a picture and the next day I received my cartoon. Notice I wasn’t wearing a purple shirt though! Never!

In the 80’s there were Star Wars/Star Trek nerds. In the 90’s the computer programmer nerds began to take over. Now what?
Where is the next generation? Did Nerds finally build the time machine or warp beam that would free them from this world?
According to some research (my highly tuned skill of observation) I’ve come to a more realistic conclusion. THEY ARE AMONG US. WE ARE THEM. Nerdom has evolved and dare I say become cool. Knowing the latest websites or how to program a functional website or app won’t get you stuffed in a locker anymore.
In the entertainment world shows such as LOST and 24 have taken over for the lack of Star Trek.
