Font rant and Avatar goodness

One of my first projects for Graduate school is to create my own avatar and incorporate it into the blog.  I figure that while I'm figuring out the ropes of using blogger, I would create this post to see how it looks.

One of the things that has stood out to me about blogger, is the lack of the font "Helvetica" when you are choosing a font in the design of your blog.  I'm happy that I am currently typing in it, But I did end up having to use "Droid Sans" as the main font for the blog design. 

Just seems like an odd choice not to include Helvetica as an option.

Below is the avatar I created using Bitstrips avatar creator.  Making it was a really neat as they allow for a whole lot of customizations down to facial features (important for those with dimples).  I greatly enjoyed being able make it for free, and it turns out Bitstrips is really cool ... when not clogging your Facebook feed :-)
