Here are the first round of winners from the comment avatar contest, all you needed to do is add a user pic to your profile on MAKE when you register to comment – what did they win? A Pocket Ref! Winners, I’ll send you emails shortly!
If you posted and didn’t win, don’t worry – I’m going to do more of these contests and I’ll also give out “random acts of Pocket Refs” as people comment more (and have user pics) on any post — so participate and get Ref’ed!
Okay, I think I got mine set up correctly now.
I want a pocket reference!
I traced over a picture of my dog in Inkscape for this pic. He’s much cuter in person, though.
Whoops! Forgot to set the background color.
I made one.
Not ever for a pocket ref.
That’s how hardcore I am.

I guess missed this contest altogether. Mine is a self-portrait silhouette taken at sunset on Antelope Island, Utah (with the contrast cranked up just a tad).
Well now, mine is just me being my mad scientist self. With goggles and all. *zap*
I was supposed to get a pocket ref for http://makezine.com/pub/tool/wire_spice_rack
I later got a t-shirt for that tip getting into the magazine, but I’m still waiting on that pocket ref.
Perhaps my avatar will get me one?
– It is a self-photo of my eye when I awoke one day to find that I had conjunctivitis (pink eye). I just enhanced it just a little in PS to remove a reflection and enhance color.
I usually use an animated gif, but MT converts all the uploads into PNGs.
Mine is just a picture from my iSight via photo booth. Nothing special there.
It’s the system behind that picture that’s the neat bit; an old educational eMac G4, rescued from certain death in a dumpster, overclocked to 1.3GHz from 800MHz and added RAM, hacked a DVD burner from a smoked PC to it after modifying the tray a little, and I use it as my primary PC because it only pulls 170W max, built-in CRT included, as opposed to my PC that had a 500W power supply for the tower alone, plus the 19″ CRT that I was using.
So we’ve got the reduce/reuse/recycle thing, hardware hacking (overclocking required disassembling the whole thing and de/resoldering surface mount stuff), AND it uses less power.
What’s better than a universal constant?
(BTW, I couldn’t tell if your OpenID implementation could grab the email address so I made a regular account).
Not an original piece of art, but one of my favorite robot cartoon characters – Gir, from Invader Zim!
