For those of you that haven't noticed the current obsession in the CAD blogosphere of creating Simpsons avatars of oneself, check out this post from the Autodesk Labs blog for some background.

This site allows you to upload a photo, and it generates an avatar for you pretty much automatically (you have to specify a few parameters and can tweak the output, but this was a huge improvement, at least for someone with my extremely modest artistic talent):
The resolution of the output isn't as good as with the other tool, but you can get a fairly decent headshot for IM:
