My avatar is a shot from my front yard. Yes, I'm the nerd that built his own snowgun.

It is actually pretty awesome because all the neighbors start asking in mid-October when the snow will start flying. It has also been a good way to teach the neighborhood kids about science.

I like this pic of me...it shows my huge pectoral muscles *thanks Ren and Stimpy*

Actually....it reminds me of a grat day @ Wa. We used to have "Chatfests" for all us regulars in Wa's RSN forum. Mgt @ Wa would give us a suite (which is where this photo ws taken).

The rest of the photo (the reason it was taken) is because I was standing next to the former chat room monitor (AJ). He was short, maybe 5'. You can see his shoulder (black jacket) to my right in the photo.

If I ever had a decent picture of me skiing....I'd use it. Unfortunately, it's hard to get one of those photos of me. :<

Why do I use the avatar I use? (I don't use one)

Because it's not about me, it's about the mountains. A reason why I almost never ask someone to take my picture. I can look in a mirror & see me, it's about the scenary & the size of the landscape. I occasionally take pictures with other people in the shot for scale only. When I get the kids & family out I get there pictures which annoys my wife since there are pictures or her, her the kids & just the kids. After some spousal pressure I let someone take a family shot at Glen Ellis Falls last month. It wasn't a good picture, I was blocking the falls....

I try to switch mine, usually whatever I do at the time - skiing, biking, hiking. Just got a new one from the Whites :)
