Shall I change my avatar?

Al The Observer · 03-27-2006, 02:45 AM

I need help deciding whether or not to change my avatar.

Here is the current one:

Here is the one I'm considering:

I like them both. What do you think?

PS: Is my signature too distracting, or is it OK?

I like them both, but personally prefer the original. That may just be the anti-smoker in me though!

Are the asterisks and dashes in your sig some form of morse?
I keep trying to make it spell a message, but my knowledge of Morse Code, like most peoples, barely extends beyond SOS!

I was wondering that too... so I checked.

It spells Quantum Leap!

Cool stuff, Al The Observer!

I like the second one.

I like the one you have, but its up to you. And the "quantum leap" morse code thing is awesome, i never caught that.

Very good, Al The Bartender! It is Morse code, also called CW (in the radio world) and it does spell Quantum Leap! I'm a radio nut, and it just seemed natural. Each asterisk is a dot (or a short beep) and is pronounced "dit", and each hyphen is a dash (or a long beep) and is pronounced "dah". So, "dah-dah-dit-dah, dit-dit-dah, dit-dah, dah-dit, dah, dit-dit-dah, dah-dah; dit-dah-dit-dit, dit, dit-dah, dit-dah-dah-dit" says Quantum Leap! That is, if you speak "code."

So, I have two votes for the original avatar, and two votes for the possible new one. Do I hear any more?

Al The Observer · 03-29-2006, 06:57 AM

Hmm... No replies.

How about this one?

Or this one?

Clara5 · 03-29-2006, 01:29 PM

I like the fourth one, but the quality is lower. If you could get a better quality, I'd say fourth. If not, I'd have to say take your new one.

Hope it helps!

I like the one with the cigar in his mouth. But since you call yourself The Admiral, maybe the fourth.

Al The Observer · 03-30-2006, 12:59 AM

Actually, Cyd (Sam Beckett Fan) started calling me Admiral, so I adopted the nickname.

Al The Observer · 04-13-2006, 06:21 AM

Well, I've counted the votes, and I'll change my avatar. At least for now. I have them all saved so I can go back if wanted.

Edit: Clara, I looked, but could not find a better quality "Admiral" avatar. Sorry.

Al The Observer · 05-07-2006, 04:57 PM

I've changed my mind. Again. Now, I'm going to go with this one:

Let me know what you think.

Nice choice. Keeping it fresh
