In lieue of that, here are some fun avatar-generators:

• Stickfigurator, an automatic avatar-generator based on libvisualid.
• Identicon generator, a generator of things that look sort-of like late-1970s/atari-era video-game sprites
• Unicornify, an automatic avatar-generator, sort-of like Stickfigurator... but with unicorns.
• Dog Show, an avatar-generator like Unicornify... but with dogs (used by wherethedogsare.com).
• RoboHash, a combinatoric avatar-generator--unlike Stickfigurator, more like (but probably better than) wavatars.
• Cat avatar generator, an avatar-generator for cats.
• Zombietar, an avatar-builder (not an automatic generator) for zombies.
