My avatar is a photo of Dr. Jigoro Kano, the creator of the sport of Judo. He was an exceptional man in many ways, and if you do an internet search on his name, you will find much info about his many accomplishments.
It is customary to hang a picture of Kano Sensei an any traditional judo dojo, and in the home of the practitioner.
I've also been asked about the word "Kodokan."
The Kodokan is the largest and oldest school of Judo, located in Tokyo.

My avatar is about the spirit in me, the spirit to pull on the gloves, get the game face on, and drive. I keep all hard driving to the track or backroads or private property. I don't own an S2000, but I have driven some pretty pumped up and exotic cars. And, I'm an anime otaku ^_^
Plus, the guy in the avatar looks a little like me when I had brown hair. The south park style dude in my sig is what I currently look like
hehehe especially the sh!t eating grin

Every time this topic comes up, I post the same image of Captain Beyond's first album, and it's usually met with a thunderous silence. Ah well, I know they are still virtually unknown more than 30 years later. I would however say to all, that if you enjoy 70's hard rock (like Humble Pie, Thin Lizzy, Cactus) meshed with a level of musicianship and creativity usually found only in the famous progressive rock bands (like King Crimson & Yes) then you should listen to Captain Beyond's first two albums: The self titled debut from 1972, and "Sufficiently Breathless" from 1973. They're like Wishbone Ash, except HARDER. Just another awesome band that never really achieved commercial success.
