I had a somewhat difficult time syncing real names with dgrin screen names at the Yosemite trip. How about next time, we have some name badges, at least at first so we can have an easier time knowing who is who.

Well, that is I guess applicable to people who don't use an avatar that looks like them. Except wxwax, he kind of looks like his avatar :wink

1) Avatar used
2) Screen name
3) Real name or at least the real first name or the name you want people to call you or the name your mama calls you when shes mad :rofl

Here is a design idea to get the mental gears working:

We could make a template that could be downloaded, the avatar, screen name, and real name could then be added by the attendee, then printed on the home printer, or on a 4x6 print and then cut to size.

    Squirrels are probably just a bit too large to place under your 100, 2.8 macro lens, Skippy. :D

    Plus, they bite, and might have rabies, so you'll have to hold one down yourself if you try to take a close-up of their eyeballs. Wear thick gloves.

    But....... if it's quality squirrels you want, then pass through Olney, Illinois USA when you're out this way this summer. Google this.... "white squirrels olney illinois"

    Squirrels in the southwest US (around Zion, Grand canyon area) are darker, and have funnyish long dark tufts on their ears. The Kaibab squirrel is smaller, but nonetheless a cute little creature.

    Our brown squirrels here in the midwest states are a large and hearty species.

    I got a name tag for less than $10. It's engraved plastic. I should've
    worn that--has the screen name I use over on Advrider, my name and home
    town.

    There are black squirrels on the UMass campus...and all the squirrels there are completely fearless. Kinda freaky.
