Your timing is impeccable, Jon. I just changed my avatar this morning. To me, an avatar is like a piece of clothing. It's whatever I decide to wear. My selection of avatars is mostly pictures that I've collected while in the process of cataloging my music. Ever since I changed from a B&W screen iPod to a color iPod, I've been attaching album covers to my songs, so I've amassed a bunch of music photos. So as a result, my avatar selection typically reflects whatever the genre of music I've been listening to lately and my favorite musician within that genre.

So there. That's my story. And by the way, your question was perfectly legitimate.
