[klewis]

Please excuse me if this isn''t the forum for this but.... tourmaline_lover, I love your new avatar. I did like your previous one, but this one''s super. Talk about extremes!

Oops, I see I could have told you this in your Imperial Malaya garnet thread. Oh well

I agree. It''s super cool. Wish I had something awesome like that.

Thank you - wow a thread all devoted to my avatar. Pretty funny. It''s a hypercube if anyone is wondering.

A tesseract!

Yes, or a tesseract.

Wouldn''t you just love to wear one of those set in a ring?

I like the moment when it looks like the crown of a cut gem.

I don''t think my avatar could be more plain.

I don''t know how to find one.

Your new one is very nice. When I see the spinning, I''ll know it''s you.

Danny, you can Google free avatars and various websites pop up with free ones you can use. Thats how I find mine.

I know, but how do I choose? I've seen people take stuff off dealer sites. I don't think that's right. I could google some imagines, but I'm still having trouble thinking of what I want. Ah, I'll give it some thought. Thanks.

Well one of the reasons I used this as my avitar, besides the fact that I love math and physics, is that it does remind me of various cool cuts as it rotates. There are three dimensional still representations of hypercubes (tesseracts), and I could see someone like John Dyer doing something like this. It's basically a cube within a cube, however the effect is much more pronounced when the hypercube is rotating as in my avitar.
