From Fontifer a new online service that lets you create a font for Mac or PC from your own handwriting.
I wish they had this when I was at school, I could have forged a heap of letters from my mum about not being able to attend.
Simply print out the fontifer template, write your characters on it, scan the template and upload back to fontifer.
Through the magic of online application voodoo you can then preview your font and purchase it if you wish for $9.00 US.
Great for Christmas cards and birthdays too.
