I regularly use about a dozen different social web services, with dozens more that I have accounts on. Historically, I've used one of a very small number of photos of myself as my avatar or user icon on these websites.

welcome to last month
Duh, I knew about the picture before last month. But I couldn't use it as my avatar then because I had to wait until it was the right time! Sheesh.

uhm, the other end of that chain goes, where...?
Haha. Too awesome :-)
That is one cute dog!
Hey, I love dogs anyway.
