My first avatar and name had nothing to do with each other.  Watched Underworld and the werewolf Raze, changed my avatar to a picture of Raze's eye.  Now I use my real name and a different eye avatar.  I like eyes.

Part of a bigger picture, currently a cover on my FB page (link in the signature).

- T-Rex is part of my logo, detailed info in the description HERE

Vladamir Putin signalling the Scientists that he's ready for the funk level to be increased.

 

This probably raises more questions for you.

 

Nope. That all made perfect sense. Best avatar story so far.

 

 

Ladies want it.

 

lol. Brilliant.

Mine is NOAA-18 AVHRR channel 4 imagery of Hurricane Mitch at peak intensity off the coast of Honduras on October 26, 1998 at 20:32 GMT.

I use it as the icon for my app Hurricane Tracker for Windows 8 and Windows Phone.

Currently a photo of a cake I made, well, just the decoration made from fondant icing stuff. Kinda cheated... Print, cut, trace, arrange, but I was pretty happy with the result :)

It is/was a Mario (of Nintendo fame) face, for anybody seeing this after I've changed it.

I grew up with so many devices which used it (Apple (Macintosh Plus), Commodore (Amiga), Sega (Genesis), etc.). I guess I could call it my favourite CPU of all time (mainly due to the amazing software people were able to produce with such little resources).

Might explain why you're called crashgordon?  :rofl:

Haha, no it doesn't have any relation to my username (well it might have after the incident), but that's a whole 'nother story. :P

 

Short version: Porsche Club weekend at Road Atlanta, damp track, borrowed car, exceeded the power>grip ratio and backed it into a tirewall just past turn 3. I was doing quick lap times and got the nickname of Flash Gordon, until the incident and someone said something like "needs to change his name to Crash Gordon" and I thought it was funny and embraced it. :D

    • outside of the AI and embedded spyware, I think windows 8 is by far the worse version of windows. Or maybe windows ME could be worse.
    • All that hype about Android apps on PC and then nothing because of that stupid Amazon App Store partnership.
    • hands down the worst version of Windows to date and sadly I think it's only downhill from here
    • I've never known a release to have so much pressure than this one. There is so much riding on the whole games industry because of everything that's changed in the past five years. That if this is a complete flop then I think the whole games industry is done unless something radically changes.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old by Taras Buria Windows 11 is now half a decade old. Five years ago, on June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced its latest operating system, designed to "bring you closer to what you love." Today, Windows 11 celebrates its fifth birthday. The launch of Windows 11 was interesting. Rumors about Microsoft introducing a Windows 10 successor popped up weeks before the public announcement, and a few days later, an entire preview build leaked online, allowing everyone to take a peek at what Microsoft was preparing. A few weeks later, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 was a thing and officially unveiled its next-gen operating system. Early versions of Windows 11 promised quite a lot. A redesigned, more modern user interface, a brand new Start menu and taskbar, improvements to virtual desktops and window snapping, Android app support, Teams integrated into the taskbar, Windows Widgets, a new version of the Microsoft Store, improved security, and more. Some of those features were welcomed, while others were received with heavy criticism. Besides missing taskbar and Start menu features, many disliked the steep hardware requirements, which kicked out PCs that were back then still perfectly fine. TPM and Secure Boot became mandatory, causing a spike in sales of dedicated TPM chips for motherboards. Double-layered context menus were disliked as well, and it is something that Microsoft still has to fix. Additionally, with time, some of Windows 11's exclusive features were simply killed. Microsoft removed the Teams integration and discontinued Android app support. During the early days of Windows 11, Microsoft was quite unwilling to address things that users criticized most. After four years on the market, management changes, and heated competition from the Mac camp, Microsoft finally decided to give in and take its operating system back to the drawing board to fix everything users had been complaining about for years. Microsoft is now redesigning the Start menu, adding missing taskbar features, improving Windows Update, fixing Windows 11's context menu, and more. Some believe all that warrants a new Windows 12 release, but for now, it appears that Windows 11 will stick around for a while. With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11!
