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.

Okay, I think I got mine set up correctly now.

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 made one.

Not ever for a pocket ref.

That's how hardcore I am.

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!

I haven't received my email?!? Is it because I'm using vox?
