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).

 

- I'm a graphic designer so it shows what software I use mostly ( Photoshop & Illustrator)

- 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

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
