Fairly often

I change my icon at least a couple of times a month. I think I'm still trying to settle into a unique style, but get bored fairly easily.

My current icon "Saucer Boy" (the snowler-blader) is in memory of one of my childhood heroes who died recently, Shane McConkey. Shane was an extreme skier who died at age 39 in a ski-basing accident. He revolutionized the sport of skiing, taking to the hills in some of the most unique ways. I remember a powerbar ad he did in which he skied using the front and rear bumpers from an El Camino for his boards. His reaction was that he had a hard time catching an edge. His life awed and inspired many skiers of all different levels, and his death leaves a huge hole in the sport that no one else will ever be able to fill.
