    Can't see it, turns up blank. Maybe it's just my browser. The last one was cool though.

    Well after 1/2 hour

    I finally got this sucker to crop down!!!!

    Ok, it looks like the cinescope opening to some of those old Shaw Brothers films, but maybe that adds character to the photo?

    Yup, that's me. Old, injured, hopelessly addicted to weed, and kicking ass in my kwoon baby!

    If you're using photoshop, check "constrain proportions" when you change the image size. If you're not, get a calculator and find the appropriate width for the 50 pixel height.

    Good pic Man, but you've got to change the size to 40x50 so it doesn't compress the image.

    Y' know

    I don't have photoshop, so I had to use Microsoft's Photo Draw 2000.

    It hates to reduce a photo by using pixel count, so I actually had to drag one of the handles, until the photo read "48x50" pixels. And voila! Instant Shaw Brothers hero....

    Maybe for Christmas Gene will allow a larger avatar size????

    Hmmm, I like the old one with the 'fro, dude.

    This one needs a bit more contrast (but as per usual I'm being picky).

    How's the world of fame and fortune treating you AT?
