Why hello everybody, David Seger here, and I got some important truths to spit --

Truth #1: Being bored is boring.
Truth #2: There's so much fun stuff out there - there's no reason to ever be bored.
Truth #3: The Cheetos Boredom Buster aims to introduce you to fun things, and help you avoid the inconvenience of being bored.

Yes! You work hard. Too hard, maybe. And sometimes, your tedious efforts towards a paycheck can be pretty boring. But think about it, why be bored when you've got a whole internet full of silly tools designed specifically to devour your free time? Flash games, Wikipedia pages, Internet Surveys, Face Transformers, Online Poker... Wait, did I just say Face Transformers? I sure did. That sounds like this week's Cheetos Boredom Buster:

The "Face of the Future" Face Transformer!

The University of St. Andrews has set up an easy-to-use image manipulator, which takes the picture you submit, and alters it. Upload a clear image of your face, follow the simple steps, and you'll be able to find out what you'd look like as an old man, a member of the opposite sex, or even another race!

Here are the simple steps to get started:

And then you can change the face into several different options:


Old man, young man, baby, a member of the opposite sex, you can transform your face towards afro-carribean features, west-asian features, east -asian features. You can even transform your face into works by different artists! An El Greco version of yourself. A Botticelli! The possibilities are all there for you to play with. Would you make a good looking woman? Find out. How would your Manga cartoon look? Upload an image and discover just that. It's a real fun thing. You can even transform your face half-chimpanzee if that's what you're into.

But guess what, independent filmmakers, this tool could also have some practical application for your projects. Maybe you want to make a movie where a character is visiting his hometown after sometime away. He looks around his old living room and picks up a photo. It's himself as a child. There you go. Another useful trick is to make someone old. Want to end your movie with an explanation of what the character's future held in store? You can demonstrate with a transformed image of them, ages older.

But mostly, it's just a fun thing. Play around. Turn your friends into monkeys... and then get back to work. I'm here to bust your boredom, not get you fired. Have a good week!
