Actually, I just figured you had dumped your Mac love and gone linux on us (The Penguin is the symbol of Linux).
It was the other way around actually.
I went from OS/2 to Linux (to BeOS to PowerPC Linux) to Mac OS X. I got some penguin stuff with my first Linux distributions and since my family have a strong zoological thing going, my mother kepy buying me penguin stuff (I have blankets, t-shirts, shoewer curtains, bath towels, all with penguin pictures).
Of course he had to have a Jewish flavor. But on the icon, you cannot tell he is wearing a yarmulka. It just looks like a pointy geek head. So it is good we get to see a full picture of him with his Star of David.
I thought the yarmulke was visible. There is a line between the black yarmulke and the black head. Maybe it's only visible if you expect it to be there.
The big nose is Jewish.
I am a total geek, although people tell me that online I come off as somewhat corporate and correct. Anyone who knows me personally know that unless stopped I just won't stop talking about four basic subjects: linguistics, computers, comic books, and how life keeps surprising me.
fortunately, I only eat cats, not birds.
You know, you always reminded me of Alf, even without the picture. I loved that show.
