Chair Avatars
This is a display area for my spare chairs - my previous avatars.
Why Chairs?
Chairs symbolize social interaction. They invite you to sit down and stay a while; take a load off. You're probably sitting right now. We sit down to digest news. We sit to think. We sit to be social. You might say chairs are the first social media. Okay, you wouldn't but let's pretend.
There are awesome looking chairs that are painful to sit on (talkin' to you Frank Lloyd Wright and owners of Indian restaurants everywhere). There are comfy chairs that look ugly. Chairs fit all situations - from thrones to bean-bags. Lawn chairs say "relax, enjoy the weather." Kitchen chairs say "have a bite." Dentists' chairs say "sit down and scream a while."
Since joining Twitter in '07, I've experimented with a dynamic avatar - it's recognizable as my stream, but changes often. Happy to have you 'follow' me and join the conversation. Pull up a chair.

be form fitting and comfortable, though I'm a bit uncertain about the hole placement. I like to have a chair back support my lower back well, though it looks a bit like you might feel like you're falling through the hole on this one. But without finding one to sit in, I wouldn't know! In the absence of a tester - I will pronounce this an attractive minimalist design worthy of immortality in my Chairvatar lineup.
