HAHAHA well sourced Chris, I use a similar service to create favicons from photos but it was one of my little design secrets ;) I use
DynamicDrive for a lot of their CSS tutorials, they have some good ideas.
Happy to share though :)

This service will also give you an animated favicon with scrolling text but, it cant actually be used as a favicon because it is a .GIF not a .ICO however, it is still useful for creating little links in forum signatures etc
