Have Your Own Font

So my first sweet link is one I found on lifehacker.com (an awesome site in its own right). YourFonts.com turns your scribbles into a personal font! You simply download and print a PDF template, fill in the character boxes, scan and save it as an image, and upload it to their website.

I just got my font back, but it ended up misaligned, most likely because I printed to "A4" paper by accident. Doh! Otherwise, it looked sharp! I would recommend using a fine-tipped permanent marker, as I used a medium tip and some of my characters (such as $ and @) came out muddled. Their site seems to imply that pen alone wouldn't turn out so well either, so don't bother trying.
