The origin of the moniker

2227

A great Dallas friend of mine, Mini, started calling me “SuperRob” years ago when I worked at her office. I’m not sure how or why it stuck, but it did. I’m pretty sure I didn’t deserve the nickname, but nonetheless.So with my whole Colorado odyssey, I thought I’d start owning the handle. Someone once told me that “ElectroLund” even sounded a bit like a strange superhero name.

So now you know how SuperRob came to be1.

Jimmy, I will strike you down with the mighty sword of teamwork and the hammer of not bickering!

I like your avatar! It’s my favorite :!:

2005 August 31

Thanks, Jules! :D

2005 August 31

2005 August 31

I like yours too, Angela!! :mrgreen:

I think you need to turn it around and be Bizarro Rob!

Hey, Ang, the gravatars have to be square, so if your image is more rectangular, it will be sorta squished.

2005 August 31

yeah… i think it’s just my browser & your site that cut it off smaller than a square..
it looks fine on Jules’ site. never mind. :P

2005 August 31

Oh ok, well I could have a bug then. Surprise, surprise, huh Jimmy?! Do all the other gravatars look fine too or cut off? What browser are you using?

2005 August 31

They all look cut off to me. I use explorer.

Rob…did you create that with GIMP? That’s pretty nice graphics work.

2005 August 31

Sure did, Flying J! I started with a flat 2D Superman image, which I found with Google image search. Then the rest is all layering, vector-based fonts, and filters. Not too hard to do, just time-consuming.

I think you need to start using your spell check too!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist!!! :lol:
