We can now have .gif avatars!

Tried loading a gif.

Said the file size was too large.

Pls. walk me through uploading a gif. for an avatar.

Thanks.


The first few I tried said the same thing.
I just kept trying smaller files until I found one that fit.
This one might work for you.

Not sure if I'm digging my rotating Rush Starman though, - I may go back to my stationary Homer Simpson Starman....

That car of yours is from another century. It still needs an operator. :laugh:

If only you knew - no power breaks or power steering, two drum brakes, air cooled engine. Basically a lawn mower with a windshield. On the other hand, if there ever is an EMP, my car will be the only one running.

A Zen Master walks up to a hot dog stand, what does he say to the hot dog vendor? .... "Make me one with everything." (rimshot) :woot:

Thanks for getting my joke. And for telling one of my favorites (the Hot Dog Stand).

In all seriousness, the Gif thing is intriguing. Some are fascinating to watch because the creator gets the loop point perfect. Photography freezes the moment. Film captures the reality of our fast-moving life. A Gif is somewhere in between...they can reveal some of the more subtle aspects of life.

Yeah, and you can probably out run it... ;)

You driving a Bug?
That was my first car. Talk about low-fi! I remember having to take a part off on misty mornings -- the carb cover? (not a car guy) -- and dry it out.

Finally went up in flames.

My Dad had one, too, and I remember us all having to push-start it to get to school some mornings.






Wait a minute, just how old AM I? :(

Karmann Ghia - my second one. Yeah, it's a Bug with a cool body (or a Porsche Speedster with a meh transmission - depends on how you look at it). My first one, I broke the throttle cable on the way to a job interview - fixed it with a paper clip.
