What is the meaning behind your avatar?

[richardda1st]

If you use an avatar, why is it a representation of you?:shrug:

Come on, please explain.:question:

I don't use an avatar, I personally like to see who I'm actually chatting to or who owns the post I'm reading.:)

Some members use a brand name of a product as a representation of themselves.

Others use a symbol of their main hobby or interest as a representation.

And others use a picture of someone else maybe well known, to represent them.

But some avatars are very esoteric:confused2:

Cheers:)

And GEM is simply my initials. (NOT German Equatorial Mount!!)

[bloodhound31]

Want everyone to see how mean and nasty I am. So there.

Edit: As per Suzy's request, my user name is a combination. Bloodhound was my CB-Radio callsign back in the late 80's and then when I got my first computer I was 31.

[barx1963]

Mine is a pic of me with a replica Bluesmobile at Universal Studios in LA. Its my favourite movie and I liked the pic!

Mine is Peter Griffin's frozen sex face.

[mill]

I collect Samurai swords and just bought a new one :)

[ballaratdragons]

It's our Astro club.
A form of blatant advertising :P

I notice that some avatars are too hard to make out what they are.
Here's mine enlarged.

[bartman]

Bart is my name and Bartman is my nickname. Hence Bart Simpson. I quite like that pic of Bart - its a pic of the cover from Nirvana's Nevermind album- (oh and I like the Simpsons too! :) )

woot!!!! I passed the 1000 post mark:party:

I've been wanting to do a thread like this for ages and now you've beat me to it Richard. :P
My thread was going to ask about usernames, some really interesting and strange usernames here- like renormalised for instance.. why do you call yourself that Carl.. why.. why :question:.
If you don't mind Richard, I think it would be fabulous if people can explain their usernames also :question: :D
I can't wait to find out, should be an interesting thread. :D

My avatar and username are a bit obvious. :P :lol:

[ballaratdragons]

There already is one Suzy :thumbsup: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=51477

[Ric]

There's no real reason behind mine, I just found it one day while surfing around the net.

It still gives me a laugh when I look at it and I hope it does for everyone else. :)

There's also a picture of me on the profile page if you want to see my mug. :P Most say the cat is better looking. ;)

[BB]

I collect polystone figurines called "Bad Taste Bears". This is one of my favourites! :)

[Gem]

The pic on my profile page is my youngest son in wet season in Zambia... on the phone telling his mum (who as in Australia) that dad was looking after him just fine!! :)

[CraigS]

My new one is a rendition of the Lorenz Attractor .. a phase space diagram applicable to a chaotic system (like the weather). The trace which draws this pattern, never crosses any of the previous paths already drawn … in spite of the drawing complexity .. amazing stuff!

The "Initially Sensitive" title is one of the key hallmarks of such a system and if the initial conditions change, chaotic behaviour results.

Am I, and all life-forms, the result of chaotic processes ?

Cheers

[kustard]

Mine is Io. The reason I have this is because I find the colours of the image absolutely astounding. Plus it's also part of one of the wallpapers I use on my iMac with Mission Control :)

[JohnG]

Those who know me understand, trained as a helicopter door gunner in Huey's, SAR Flight Instructor out of Sydney, PolAir until my retirement.

Crazy life, :lol:.

Cheers

[Erwin Kats]

hahahah :lol:

My avater is me with the 16'' f3.75 dream scope from belgium astrophotographer Karel Teuwen in his remote observatory.

[Gem]

First thought at "door gunner in Huey's" was: this guy is old! Then I read "until retirement". :)

That's ok. The aircraft I worked on are now retired too (C130E and Boeing 707)... so I guess I am getting old as well .... :(

[JohnG]

You got the old right, lol, was 20 and on my way to Vietnam, never got there, got turned around enroute and off-loaded, we were told our war was finished......

Cheers

[astroron]

Mines obvious, I am a visual Supernova searcher.
the Supernova in the image is S/N 1994D in NGC 4526.
Never found one but seen plenty in my 16" ;)
Also my pic is of me on a Bush Walk, also another one of my past times.
Cheers :thumbsup:

[asimov]

I'm a planet imager & I'll update my avatar pic if & when i capture a better image.

[AstralTraveller]

My user name is taken from the title of a song by Yes (from their second album 'Time and a Word'). It seemed appropriate at the time and is homage to on of my favourite bands. The night I joined IIS I emailed a friend and told him what name I'd chosen. Within minutes he replied with my avatar. It's a piece of Roger Dean artwork which was used on the cover of the triple-live album 'Yessongs', and I do think it suits the name. So I'm stuck with it :P.

For reference, here is the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdCHJMpRA5Q and since I'm a truly awful wanna-be bass player, here is a transcription of the bass line http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3iQqNWzaCA


And in the ruins of the balloon
Stood a man with glasses held high,
Wondering when to do it again
Have another fly into the sky,
Somewhere flying high.

Astral trav'ller leaving without her,
Wandering where lights go,
Leave out the body load.

Once in the air, people who dare
Get a great respect in being.
(Astral trav'ller.)
Heavenly flight wondrous night
And all the sights worth seeing
Just believe in

Astral trav'ller leaving without her,
Wandering where lights go,
Leave out the body load.

[Matt Wastell]

My pic is me - and I'll update if and when I get a better picture of me - I do not photo well - I think I am chewing in this one!

Mines pretty ordinary, just me, and username just me as well, how boring hey.

[FlashDrive]

From my Airforce day's .... we all had our turn to " marshall " an aircraft from the runway to the " holding/parking point".
I was with the Orion Squadron ( big 4 engine job .. turbo prop ).
You had to remain where you were ( you were not allowed to walk backwards ) .... you bought the aircraft towards you ... and you watched the front nose wheel .. and stopped the aircraft on the parking mark on the tarmac.

While your doing this .. 4 " screaming " turbo propellers were " bearing " down on you as the aeroplane got closer and closer :eek: to where you were standing .... at the right moment you indicated to the Pilot to stop..... he would halt the plane and do an engine shutdown.

Ear Muffs were MANDATORY Equipment.

1st pic is the Orion Aircraft..... the rest tell the story.

Flash :D

[Gem]

I marshalled the PM's aircraft once... didn't take a pic though!! :)

[Gem]

Sorry for going a little off thread... but I couldn't resist after seeing Flashdrive's happy snaps!

Here is one I took during a typical day of work (our squadron was air to air refueling) ... three F18's off my window at 22000 feet about to take on fuel. I have heaps of pics I took... but mostly on old disposable cameras (remember those???) in case I took a pic of something I shouldn't have and would have to then ditch the camera! :)

[koputai]

My avatar is our current boat, a racey little Melges24, named "Arriba! Arriba!" that we keep at RPAYC on Pittwater.

She gets up on the plane at about 10 knots, and we've had her up to over 20 knots. Pretty fast for a keel boat, loads of fun.

Cheers,
Jason.

[GrahamL]

I set my recently finished scope up one afternoon to cool off.
Awhile later I came back out to find 20 corellas forageing in the grass around it so went and got my camera, they all took to the wing when the camera clicked,,,I hadn't noticed there was one on top of my ota looking down at itself in the mirror,, actually I panicked shortly after this shot as I though the bird might of been chewing the wood.

Over a year or so they came back now and then , one bird would always climb around on my scope checking it out the others would all ignore it.

[richardda1st]

I must ask. Petra, you collect zebras, (toys, figurines, pics, the real thing:eyepop:) please explain.

Yes Suzy the two threads could have gone hand in hand. Well at least it’s brought out Dave’s thread for a second look, thanks Ken.:thumbsup:

There’s a real mixed bag of reasons for choice of avatar.

From Wikipedia - In computing, an avatar is the graphical representation of the user or the user's alter ego or character.:rolleyes:

So what does that meaning of an avatar say about those of us using our actual photo as our avatar.:rofl:

Cheers
Richard

[BlackWidow]

My picture is of me flying my Trike over the Barossa Valley. This is my two seat open aircraft, but I also fly our family plane that is a two seat Light Sports low wing aircraft. Morgans Aeroworks Sierra 200 that is really fast and very nice to fly.. Also alot warmer as it is fully enclosed and even has a heater (nice)...

[spacezebra]

Hi Richard

Yes, I collect all things zebra. Im yet to collect the real thing, need a few acres and some time at the Dubbo or Werribee Parks to kidnap one.:)

[xelasnave]

Mine is a recent photo of me overprocessed..and my name backwards because I would forget most other things...I also am interested in gravity.
alex:):):)

[ZeroID]

I was always amused and fascinated by the characters who play the sidelines in films. The story within a story, hence Skrat out of the Ice Age films. He is always trying so hard and perpetually denied and always looks so startled.

[Osirisra]

Mine is the Egpytian God Osiris, God of the Dead.

[Moon]

I started off with just the Moon, but we had a copy cat in our midst, so I had to diversify a bit. I figured out how to make animated gifs, and a new avatar was born.

One of the most dynamic would have to be Prof Fred Watson....my avatar is Fred & myself at our forum earlier this year.:thumbsup:

[The Mekon]

Mine reflects a number of things:

Gives a clue to my generation - a baby boomer who read Dan Dare comic strips as a boy.

I'm also a small man with a bald head.

I used it first on a motorcycle site - I have a number of Kawasakis whose racing colour is green.

But I hope I am not an evil genius who wants to rule the Galaxy!

[von Tom]

Mine is a shot I'm very happy I got - Saturn during the daytime.

[Hagar]

You know me Richard, should be self explanitory.

[Paddy]

Mine's just a picture of me with my scope.

Well... if only I was that good looking.

Our dogs are my regular companions at the scope at night, especially Harvey, the chap in my avatar. I have to be careful getting off the small stepladder that I use to get to the eyepiece as he is often sitting under the bottom step, perhaps awaiting his turn at the ep.

[Kevnool]

Just a plain hard worker .......................well i used to be.


Cheers Kev

[richardda1st]

Well not really, but is this ( http://www.behindthename.com/name/hagar ) how you see yourself.:lol:;)


Hi Paddy, I think Harvey deserves a much bigger pic than that. More like Waxing_Gibbous' Jack Russel Bert :thumbsup:
Our now departed dogs Jasmine a cross Border collie wasn't interested in astronomy, but Chloe a cross Kelpie/dingo/kangaroo always parked herself under the tripod of my old Tasco newt and stared at me waiting for her turn.:)

Cheers

I agree he needs a bigger picture, but then the scope wouldn't fit. Lovely story of Chloe, Richard.

[Buddman]

There was a house being built across the road and we scrounged some mirror tiles from the skip to use in the kids cubby house. We hosed them off and propped them up to dry. Later on I caught myself in one of them and had a chuckle at how I had warped so I grabbed a camera and took a few shots.

If I ever come up with something smart I'll change my avatar from the big chin to the big brain shot.

Trying to work out if I can change the cubby house into an oservatory now the kids have lost interest.

My surname is Budd so I got the nickname Buddman, no real mystery there.

[ChrisM]

The pic of my obs was taken on Black Saturday when the sky turned orange. Shortly afterwards, my obs turned a dirty gray with ash. I've kept the pic because it's distinctive.

[stephenb]

My avatar is one of my film images of SN1987a, the only naked eye supernova in 400 years. (In my avatar it's the orange star on the top of the LMC. The red blob above that is the Tarantula Nebula).

[erick]

Just something cute I came across. I'm a serial avatar changer. Starting to feel like another is due soon........

[acropolite]

An ancient greek, I'm not of that nationality, but my street has a name similar to my username.

[richardda1st]

Erick, your avatar was one of the ones I thought to be very esoteric, but alas it's just because it's cute:P

[erick]

Sorry, sometimes the meaning of life is just............. nothing really. :sadeyes:

[traveller]

This is a great thread. The meerkat is a photo I took at Melbourne Zoo, they are quite cute animals, always on the look out for each other. As for the traveller username, did a bit of travelling in my younger years, but in an astronomical sense, we are all travellers in the vast cosmos. :hi:

[FJA]

Mine is just of me and was taken at the prime focus of a 32 inch reflector in Texas last year. I looked down the tube while my friend took the photo via the focuser.

[richardda1st]

Definitely cute, if I may, can I suggest a pic of a very young meerkat, now that is cute:thumbsup:
Our favorite enclosures at the Melbourne zoo would be the meerkats along with the otters. Always up to something:lol:
Meerkat mannor would be my favorite and only TV soap:)

[Grimmeister]

My Avatar cam about as a mash up of my surname and my wifes surname (Grimshaw + Fisher = Grimfish) as for the logo??? Just found it on the web and liked it so it thats what it ended up being :)

What can I say? .. I have an Italian car that I don't want to beat to death with a torque wrench.

Mine is first official light for my self-built 12.5" dob near parliament house in 2006.
The name relates to a field of testing that I do, and I'm the only commercial tester in Oz, so I must be a wizz!

[bojan]

Same here.. I like people know who they are dealing with ;)

[TinyBlueDot]

We are on a tiny ball in a HUGE (mostly black) ocean

In part from Carl Sagan's book title Pale Blue Dot; for the picture taken by Voyager 1 in 1990, when at the edge of the solar system, it turned the camera back to take a picture; the Earth being a tiny blue dot.

[rogerg]

I did have a red illuminated shot of the scopes in my observatory as they were a year or so ago, with the southern cross in the background.. but it was hard to discern.

Have always thought it good having pictures of the actual person, and today I finally found a shot of me that I can handle being out in public. Taken in Bath (UK) while on holiday last year - life doesn't get much better: stunning scenery, no work, 7D around neck, loaded LowePro pack on the back :D Those were the days :sadeyes:

I have enjoyed reading what others have to say about their profile pictures, so glad to finally be able to contribute.:)

[GlassHammer]

Mine is of the character Beavis from the show Beavis & Butthead (for those who don't know). Was a huge fan of it in the 90's.

As for GlassHammer, I just figured it'd be pretty funny to visualise a hammer made of glass. Not very profound I know...

[Gem]

Hmm... then moved to Liverpool (hence the pic) and spent several seasons injured before moving to Galatasary and now live in Melbourne??? ;)

[AstralTraveller]

I imagined a hammer with which to hit glass. There are such things as glass knives to cut glass.

[Mliss]

I'm really enjoying reading everyone's comments here :thumbsup: top thread!

I'm a 70's love child with a streak of hippy. I found the pic ages ago and i've used it on facebook for years. It's just happy :D I'm also shy & don't like using pics of myself. :P
My name backwards is 'Assilem' :confuse3:But I really am quite normal :reindeer:

[leonie-macaroni]

I'm like murder mysteries.
Maybe it's the tweed jackets, the tobacco pipes or the funny hats.
But we all know, you can't solve a mystery without a magnifying glass.
That's a damn fact. So I have one in case I get murdered.:lol:

Glass hammer?
That is kind of amazing.
A one use only scenario.


Great thread though, nice to meet you all.

[richardda1st]

Well then Erick, those of you who keep changing :shrug: your avatar will need to update :P this thread as well, or you can get back to using a photo :thumbsup: of yourselves.

As some have commented already, it's much more personal to see who you are corresponding with. :)

I think in the early days of the internet most users wanted to be anonymous, not sure if that applies anymore. :shrug:

I'm fairly new to internet forums (maybe 3 years or so) so I didn't get into this anonymity thing with avatars. Come on everybody, come out of the closet. ;)

Jen and your smilies, I'm catching the bug as well.:rolleyes:

[erick]

I can feel a transition coming on...... :confused2:

[richardda1st]

I think you may be a closet Whovian Erick.:rofl:

[bartman]

I agree Richard that it is nice to see who(m) you are talking too.
I have used my avatar cause I like it, shows that I like the Simpsons, Like floating about ( not the in the way of Warrens (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=81010&highlight=kronic)recent post ...hehehe) and kinda shows a free spirit.... in a way....
Otherwise one can always look at the post "post a pic of yourself (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=901)".......which I'm sure you already have.....:P
Anyhooo here are a couple of mug shots of myself for your perusal :D.....
And for Suzy....I'll post them on the other post as well.....
Cheers

[richardda1st]

Ok is it who or whom?:shrug: I have never mastered dat.:P

Thanks for the link to Warren's thread:eyepop:. Yes, like you I prefer Bart's style of floating.:P. There was a time when the Simpsons was the best thing on the telly.:thumbsup:

And it's a good night from me.

[bartman]
