What a waste of good cephalopod images, using them to make a mosaic of yours truly. It's made using some softward called MacOSaiX, if you're interested in trying some yourself.

Having just returned from a long trip where I gave three talks, one of the first things I saw when I started following social media closely again was this post on how to do better presentations. The advice is the usual stuff-- more images, less text, don't read your slides, and for God's sake,…

Cool. Do you think somebody could do one of me made out of... ummm... abstract ideas?
Curious. The first mosaic tile I clicked on was some of that cephalod porn we've discussed her before. What are the odds of that?
ummmmm...... bigdumbchimp mosaic out of pork bbq.....droool
Very cool!
Unfortunately, I guess the program just assumes that all the pictures it finds contain cephalopods (is it getting pix from Google Images?). Somewhere on your right cheek there's a drawing of shoes and a handbag.
And you have linoleum on your forehead.
Thought you oughta know.
Awesome mosaic PZ!
I think a mosaic of abstract ideas would be quite appropriate for Wilkins. What a challenge!
Pretty nifty! Artist John Ellsberry does something similar the old-fashioned way, by selecting squares of stained glass.
Cephalopods are the sincerest form of flattery.
All of the pics are photos from flickr.com.
I found a UFO, and an meal of octopussy.
So you're made of flying saucers, uh, er, strange meals, and lots of toddlers.
HA! One of the pictures in the mosaic is of the Octopus Project at Emo's in Austin. Yet more proof of my theory that everything awesome happens in Austin.
Wow, those common forms of evolution are pretty pervasive. Here's a squid from the picture that looks like a pair of tetrapods:
I guess it is more correct to say that the mosaic is created with photos that are "tagged" octopus or squid. But what can you do?
Hmph. My muscle memory always sorrounds URLs in angle brackets. Serves me right for not previewing. Here 'tis: http://www.flickr.com/photos/61576666@N00/104701235/
PZ looks like a lubed-up squid: http://www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/index.html .
I have bucketloads of anecdotal evidence to support that claim.
Dr. Myers, I've never mentioned before how much you appear to resemble a former graduate committee member. Now I picture him with powerful tentacles shooting from his forehead, and all those repressed memories of committee meetings past morph into Cthulhu-esqe horror.
*shudder*
"The most parsimonious explanation for your data is that you are incompetent"
Imagine that statement (true quote, to the best of my recollection) accompanied by rapid extension of pink tentacles.
slightly OT: that technique of making mosaics out of smaller images is patented.
what a stupid stupid patent.
Yum, some of those tiles made me hungry for Calamari.
On PZ's left cheek is an image of stir-fried squid from Thurlow and Robson in Vancouver, so I assume the program has just pulled images off the net.
Wow. It's like being the love child of Chuck Close and Jacques Cousteau.
