Well thank you, I don't normally do anything special for my birthday but I did go buy a new 32in HDTV with my Christmas bonus.

The avatar is from a website Explodingdog.com, the guy draws pictures based on phases that people email him, he's been doing it for many years. The specific picture is from January 23, 2004 and the phase being "We are an idiot" so in context i hope it seems a little less creepy.

The origin of my name is a little boring, a few years ago I needed to create several random user names for a website I was testing and so I just randomly typed keys. One of the user names ended up being something like apraxhrn so I adopted it.

Once again, thanks for the happy birthday.
