Stamp Yourself

I stumbled across this while playing with Google's latest Picasa, and while I'm probably too cheap to ever use it, Zazzle can do some neat one-off manufacturing. What really caught my eye was how you can create your own postage stamps (for a one to two times markup). I'd never thought about it before, but this is a clever little shtick to impress the grand-folks. Of course it turns out there are vast numbers of competing websites out there which will also create custom postage for you -- I guess the USPTO didn't think this was as patentable as point-to-point Internet protocol.
