It's very lucky for you, VR that HarryT's away this week. A dalek v pandalek war would not be pretty.
Do you want to exterminate or eat bamboo shoots? I imagine that you're rather conflicted...

I'm just curious.........what do you see in Patricia's avatar???

Patricia · 07-18-2008, 09:53 PM

It's one of Michelangelo's Sibyls from the corners of the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
I wanted a woman reading and this was one of the few that I could think of. And I'm an academic, so often stand or sit next to a lectern when teaching.

Heaven only knows what pshrynk will see in it.

desertgrandma · 07-18-2008, 09:54 PM

thanks for the info. Its a beautiful rendering.........I was just curious about you know who's interpretation.

Forgive moi if it has already been suggested. At my advanced age I am just getting to grips with how forums/threads work. Far too many icons and options for me.

I like Page

.
As well as the connection with book pages, there's the idea of a 'page' providing a personal service. Good suggestion.

I like ....

"Abalamahalamatandra"...

or "Ab" - for short...

I like Page too.

Patricia · 07-19-2008, 02:41 PM

I don't like 'Wheelie' at all. It sounds like a rubbish bin.
(In many UK cities domestic refuse is collected in wheeled receptacles called 'wheelie bins'.)

But if we call him "Page" now, does that mean he will eventually become "Squire" ( not not shore for squirrel) and then "Knight"? And wouldn't all that armor be too heavy for one wheel? Maybe as he "matured" he would grow more wheels.

Hmm.....how about Blinke? (pronounced as 'blinkey')

Reason:
1. He is a ebook reader after all, so blinks (orange light on top of him) when powered on. Also acc to the logo, he has white eyes...

2. The letter 'e' stands for electronic format to which he is associated with.

JSWolf · 07-19-2008, 07:23 PM

Page is a girl's name and he is definitely not female. So that's right out.
