Very cool little design concept at Iconize Me!, where you send in a photo of yourself or a friend and pay $15 to get an awesome icon made up of you!

Could be a gift, a new image for your blog, or something just fun to do (kind of like walking around a fairground and sitting down with the guy who does those crazy caricatures, but without the sitting and gawking).

I think it's a great idea, but boo-hoo, they seem to be seriously backed up and on a break until the fall...so you'll have to wait in line with me, but I think it's totally worth the wait. (the blog will keep you up to date)

Oh...for a totally scaleable vector version of your icon, you pay only $30. That's a deal and a half as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks Michael for the tip!
