Me, I love the “cat who had no fcks left”.you?
It’s a picture of me and my newly made 6-foot tall, winged box kite, that I made at the annual Fort Worden Kitemaker’s Conference. I chose this avatar because I love kites!
It’sa me!
The Double Black Diamond image was illegible at this size.
No idea.
I used to train dolphins and orcas for a living. Dolphinboy was my nickname in high school.
Mine was made in Paint and Paint.net. in is the Garden State Parkway sign reworked with my username.
Then I set the Ukraine Flag behind it as a small show of support.
Self-portrait.
I’m a sucker for Hello Kitty umbrellas.
Internet image search for Procrustes
How I picked that username is a whole nother thread. (which we did once, 5 to 10 years ago)
I looked everywhere for a graphic of a comma, but all I could find was this damn apostrophe. After looking for an hour, I just said, fuck it, and went with it.
It’s a mystery.
My username was an original creation for when I first subscribed to the Dope, but I’ve used that handle on some other sites later that had avatars before our board. So I picked up a pic of a real white doggie that looked like Einstein (you know those dogs exist) for these sites. When the Dope introduced avatars (which was still in the vBulletin days), I had lost that picture file on my hard drives and did a google picture search for “Einstein’s dog”, and my current avatar was the first hit. It was the perfect fit, and I’ve made sure that this time, the jpg-file is stored in at least three different locations on my physical and cloud drives.
It’s a selfie.
Yeah, I also could have made my post shorter and post this.
(though in real life, the times of a scalp full of hair are long gone. Though the rest is not white. Yet.)
It’s just me (on the right) hanging with my trusty sidekick. Everyone should have a trusty sidekick.
Big Legion of Super-Heroes fan. Ultra Boy being a favorite.
I couldn’t find my birdie* again after switching temporarily to a Ukraine motif, so I chose a fractal for no good reason.
*specifically, a blue-winged mountain tanager
I wanted something very simple yet kind of techie, and the 2017 total solar eclipse had just happened.
I want people to imagine Dot Warner saying what I write.
