As previously mentioned, I have committed to recreating a funny face made by John Scalzi, then getting my head 3D scanned while pulling said face, and releasing the scan as a CC-BY download on Thingiverse. It's all part of this most worthy fundraiser to help with the treatment and expenses from Jay Lake's cancer.

Scalzi has produced an array of astounding googie faces, and now there is a poll to pick the one I am to recreate in 3D-scanned glory. Vote away!

Another Act of Whimsy: Choose Cory Doctorow’s Face!

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Without doubt, the Full Nicholson.  You’ll want to put on some shades, though.

    I’ll note here that the official poll is over at Whatever (follow the link at the bottom of the pictures). If you list your preference here in the comments it might not be counted. So follow that link!

    Update: there’s a small flub at the end of that link, so until it’s fixed, here’s the link:

    I dunno. Put them all together and they kinda look like a flip book of a fart.

    I like the face that John did in his pose-off against Jim Hines for the Aicardi Syndrome Fundraiser – blonde wig and all!
